for starters to both of you. these people have to go through a background check and registration like anyone going into a gun store. Second, this group has nothing to do with Obama. A college student started this group as a study at first. The neighborhoods they target are high crime areas and have nothing to do with gun restrictions. Before criticizing a program at least have half a clue what it is.If the group's target is cities with stricter gun laws, they would be waisting their resources in Indiana.
Overall, I think it's a bad idea. If they give these shotguns away, they will end up in crimes and guess who will get the blame? If a person cannot save a few dollars a month to get a basic shotgun, then I would say the person doesn't need one. There are too many free lunches these days and just because "they" do it, doesn't mean the practice should be duplicated.

so you are saying that a break down shotgun is far worse than having nothing at all? I am starting to see why i have been spending more time on other forums. you guys make no damn sense at all around here.

so are you saying that these people are not entitled to the same 2nd amendment rights that you have? This group is helping people who may not otherwise be able to afford a weapon have something to at least give a chance for defense in their home. Any gun could end up in the wrong hands regardless of how it was obtained. It has been proven that the more law abiding citizens there are with weapons for defense in an area the crime rate will drop in such areas. If they pass a background check what is the problem? seriously. the Government and your taxes are not paying for these in any way so why deny someone who passes the same checks you do from owning a gun?
ok got it poor = 2nd amendment does not apply to you. holy crap man.

Que i speak from experience as well. I was on food stamps for years because of underpaying jobs. I could barely afford my bills and most of the time i couldn't even do that. A program like this would have at least given me a chance to have something to protect my family. And yes we had a tv that was old as hell and would have sold for absolutely nothing and then my kids wouldn't have had one at all. Luckily my dad bought me a 20 ga 870 one x-mas so i had that then. Do not group those that abuse the system with all who have been in the system. I am now in a spot where my wife and I have been buying firearms on our own thankfully things got better, but for a long time we were in the group you speak of but are not criminals and also would never let our guns end up in the wrong hands.
Yes sorry for being a bit passionate over this but it is no different than the mindset of gun control freaks saying that since one person did something horrible ever person is guilty as well. Just because some abuse the system and can't be trusted doesn't mean they all are like that. I think the question is where does the line get drawn? I don't think my gun rights should be touched because a criminal killed somebody with a gun. I also don't think everyone on a government program should be judged based on the actions of some.
