The 76ers and the Philly Police Department are running a program that allows you to turn in your guns for free tickets to games.
Man, if we lived in Philadelphia, we’d totally go out and buy some guns, just so we could get some free tix. Unfortunately here in LA, all you can do with guns is use them, and that’s really no fun. We know, because we shot someone last night – do you know how to spell “unsatisfiieeng”?
We don’t. Shit.
No questions will be asked about the firearm, officials said. It will be taken, melted down, and turned into playground equipment. The goal is simply to get the weapons off the streets and out of homes.
We like how they make it sound like magic – melt it down, turn it into playground equipment. BAM – like that. But why playground equipment? Can’t you make that out of anything?
There are only so many things you can build out of a bunch of guns – they really need to take advantage of this and build that huge Voltron the city has been clamoring for. That way they could defend themselves from that big Optimus Prime the Pittsburghians built last year.
