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. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
