After the brutal massacre at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, a man decided to do the unthinkable, according to El Sol de Puebla. An Oregon man went viral on TikTok after announcing that he had handed over his weapons to the police.

This was done with the intention of having them destroyed in order to avoid a yet another tragedy like the one that occurred at the Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Although, many gun owners wouldn’t dream of giving up their weapons, Ben Beers decided to make a statement for change.

Almost a week after the brutal massacre occurred, many people are talking about gun control measures and many believe that legislation is urgently needed to prevent people from acquiring guns so easily in the United States.

Well, according to Daily Mail, as soon as Salvador Ramos turned 18 on May 16, he hurried to buy two AR-15 rifles and more than three hundred rounds of ammunition. He bought everything at a store called Oasis Outback in Uvalde, 10 minutes from his grandmother’s house. Filed Under: American Family Hands Over Guns.

Ben Beers shared a message pointing out that his decision is based on what happened at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. Despite the fact that his action will not affect what anyone else does with their guns, he hopes that his actions will make some people think.

“I don’t want them (guns) anymore, I know this won’t change the legislation or anything that involves the gun culture in America. I hope that America can wake up because no other country has the problems that we have with gun culture, annihilation and gun violence. Amend the constitution, amend the legalization,” said the family man in a TikTok video. Filed Under: American Family Hands Over Guns.

“I can’t even find a PlayStation 5, but I can go to the store and buy a Glock. I’m aware that I could have made thousands of dollars from this (selling his weapons instead of destroying them), but that’s the problem. (Guns) already have too much economic impact in this country. It’s already a great source of income and that’s the root of the problem,» Beers told KGW television. TO SEE THE VIDEO CLICK HERE Filed Under: American Family Hands Over Guns.
