For one day, on June 13, in two locations, a Cambridge community organization will be trading gift cards for guns.
As a part of the Cambridge Safer Homes, Safer Community initiative, the public is welcome to give up their guns anonymously for a reward, according to the organization’s website.
“A gun in a home is 22 times more likely to be used in domestic homicides, suicides, and accidental discharges than in self-defense,” the initiative’s website said. “Each year there are 31,000 fatalities and 74,000 firearms-related injuries across the country. Cambridge has very few gun related injuries and deaths. Let’s keep our homes and our community safe.” |

| What gift card could possibly be worth someone's liberty? |

TO REMEMBER |
| You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible. — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |
