Iโve been chopping up guns all day, and it feels so goodโฆ especially after a weekend with NINE mass shootings (more than 4 people shot). We are having a blacksmithing marathon at RAWtools โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฑ - blacksmithing for 44,000 minutes this monthโฆ one minute for every life lost to guns
CHECK IT OUT! New article I just wrote comes out this weekend (and in Sundayโs paper) on police selling guns. Over 50,000 guns used in crime have been tracked back to law enforcement. This is exactly why we destroy every surrendered gun on the spot RAWtools โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฑ. This is a big deal
โWe need a new process in Philadelphia and around the country to decommission โ and destroy โ guns.โ Thoughtful oped by Shane Claiborne RAWtools โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฑ responding to reporting by CBS The Trace Reveal on guns sold by police: cbsnews.com/police-sellingโฆ Oped: inquirer.com/opinion/commenโฆ
It's an honor to collaborate with RAWtools โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฑ & the artists at #NewLightsPress. Looking forward to the general disarmament!

Much ๐งก to Moms Demand Action for supporting Iowa's 1st Guns to Gardens event. The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship & RAWtools โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฑ partnership provides gun owners an opportunity to safely surrender firearms. We destroyed 15 today. Thank you to FPC - Iowa City for hosting. My #GunViolencePrevention ๐งก is full.
WE DID IT! We bought the shop! Today we purchased the 3 story building weโve been renting for RAWtools โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฑ Philly. We have all sorts of dreams for this space. Now we are raising funds to renovate it! Give whatever you can here: philly.rawtools.org

Yesterday I learned how to transform a gun into a garden tool. It brought to mind the words of Anne Frank: โI can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will endโ Thanks RAWtools โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฑ!
25% of all proceeds go to the radiant work of RAWtools โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฑ. Thank you to everyone who's bought a copy or has asked their library to do so.
The title to Natalie Graceโs ep on Smashing Idols isnโt the full picture. We also spent a good bit talking nonviolence, specifically mentioning Shane Claiborne and RAWtools โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฑ as great resources. I really loved the veteran-to-pacifist perspective!!! ๐๏ธbuff.ly/3EHw6O1
