I found the tool that is needed in every city in the US.

It may be the answer to all of the mass shootings that seem to be occurring on a regular basis across the nation. Manufactured by the American Pulverizer Company, their TRS Series Low-Speed High-Torque Shredder equipment can quickly reduce a wide variety of firearms of all types into useless scrap metal. Just feed them in and out comes this:

http://www.ampulverizer.com/lowspeedhightorque.html

Just put one of these behind every city hall in the country, collect those firearms from everyone in town and dump them in. The local scrap metal yard will buy the resulting scrap, and soon, the machine will have paid for itself, no doubt.

Instead of supplying police departments with armored personnel carriers, flak jackets and other military-style gear, lets just provide this equipment, made right here in the USA by American workers, to those police departments and begin the collection of all those firearms for local scrap metal drives.

The company has been around since 1908, serving the nation with destructive technology to convert unwanted debris into recyclable scrap.

If we could ban all guns, I'd be on board in a second. Other countries have done it. Ask Australia. I don't know. I'm just pointing out that there's an easy way to turn them into scrap metal, once you have them.

If you destroy them, they will come. It's an open-source thing, see. Start by putting those machines everywhere. Kinda like installing Linux on every computer, sorta. Then, all those libertarian Linux consultants will have some work to do.

Give them those pulverizers, too. What makes you think I'm just talking about cities?

So far the government has been the only one dumb enough to give me 150 dollars for rusted out non working junk guns.

Thanks Uncle Sam!
