Outside the American Medical Response building on East Ashland Street in Brockton rests a 10-foot statue made of five metal blocks that spell out “THINK.” Upon closer look, behind the red, green and blue painted letters – made to look like children’s wooden alphabet blocks – are dozens of guns melted inside. Rifles, handguns, revolvers, bullet chambers, triggers and barrels of more than 250 guns were broken into pieces and decommissioned over 20 years ago as the result of a gun buyback program that was hosted by the city in 1994. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
