Looking to Ukraine arming its own citizens as a validation of concept is one thing. But as a real change of heart goes, that was wishful thinking.
Ignoring Washington’s great and prescient warning about foreign entanglements is another matter altogether.
The Republic has lost sons defending Europe and look where it’s gotten us, and importantly, where it’s leading us.

Authorized Opinions
The eleventh chapter of The Road to Serfdom is entitled “The End of Truth,” about the historical imperative in all totalitarian states throughout history to destroy freedom of speech so that the only true belief is “the social plan” imposed by the state, whatever that may be. This is achieved by relentless institutionalized lying and propaganda, coupled with harsh censorship of all contrary ideas or even questions about the propriety of forcefully imposing one single “social plan.” [More]

So if “233 firearms were collected at the event and $34,325 in gift cards were given out,” even given the maximum payout of $100 per working gun (which assumes no non-working guns paid out at $25 each were collected), that opens the question of whose pockets the other (at least) $11,025 in gift cards ended up in…
The “authorized journalist” who wrote this up probably didn’t want to press the issue because math is racist.

Tangentially-related UPDATE
I wanted to check out the Summit County Sheriff’s social media to see if they were bragging about this so I could ask them about their addition, and the cover of their magazine was the top post:
Every supermarket I go to around here warns against putting children in the car basket, and indeed, the Consumer Product Safety Commission warns in an alert:
Every year, thousands of children are treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for falls from shopping carts. Falls from shopping carts are among the leading causes of head injuries to young children and most often occur when children stand up in the child seat or the cart basket.
So it figures the same “Only Ones” encouraging people who may not know the first thing about guns (or how to clear them) to handle and transport them are happily displaying how oblivious they are to basic child safety in general on the cover of their quarterly bulletin.
Then again, consider where the buck stops and the party that she represents.
