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? |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
