Join us in saying thanks to Doug and Cheryl HuntAll of us are interested in safety! 
We are looking for a team of people to organize an event in Stockton. On Thursday, August 19, 2021 we were privileged to participate in a national RAWtools training on Zoom, where we saw guns turned into useful tools. We learned that many people are in possession of unwanted firearms and have no trusted place to discard them without fear of them getting back out into the market. It may be a gun you've inherited, or one used in suicide. It may be a gun where children, grandchildren or elderly people are in the home. These guns lead to unintentional shootings and can be stolen and used to hurt others.
Disarming your unwanted gun is the only way you can be sure
your gun will not be used for harm in the future. Across our nation, Guns into Gardens Disarming Events are being held. People are invited to bring their unloaded firearm(s) stored in the trunk of their vehicle to a specific site where a Guns to Gardens team member will remove it for disarming in their presence by making strategic cuts to render the piece unusable as a firearm. Scrap materials will be sent to RAWtools to be made into garden tools. There will be a task for everyone on the team: serve donuts and coffee, advertise the event, find a site, borrow a metal-cutting chop saw, operate the saw, provide trauma counseling, document the event, and many other tasks.
We can forward links to the training event we attended, as well as other useful links.
