Scott Pappalardo from New York, a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment rights took a stand today to SAW off the barrel of his AR-15 instead of SELLING IT because he doesn't want a weapon like this pointed at someone else ever again!!
He recorded the video destroying his gun in response to the deadly shooting in Parkland, Florida.
He rendered it useless instead of selling it and said "I've decided today, i'm going to make sure this weapon will never be able to take a life. The barrel of this gun will never be pointed at someone again." He said he had the gun for target shooting and owned it for 30 years.
The shooting in Florida was the last straw for him as he weighed the second amendment, of which he is a supporter, against the danger and death that guns can cause. In his video, it said "Is the right to own this weapon more important than someone's life?"
He noted that the majoriity of mass shootings has been the AR-15 such as Sandy Hook and that he'd happily sacrifice his guns to save the life of a child
Scott said "Look at the pictures of those victims. Is that right (the right to own guns) more important?"
While he still enjoys shooting targets for fun, he doesn't want his weapons used for violent purposes. He tagged the video #oneless and called it his "drop in a very large bucket". It has now been viewed more than 14 million times and shared 280,000
Would you have a problem with these guns being banned?
