Crowd gathers to witness the dismantling of AR-15 [View all]

>"A small group of parishioners gathered under canopies pitched in the Christ Church Episcopal Parish parking lot in Lake Oswego on Friday to watch "the destruction of a weapon" and to pray "for an end to violence, for peace on Earth."

With scripture, songs and prayers, the group witnessed the dismantling of the AR-15 rifle that the Rev. Jeremy Lucas had won earlier this year in a raffle sponsored by a Gresham softball team. On hand to help destroy the weapon was Mike Martin from RAWtools, a Colorado Springs-based Christian organization that repurposes weapons into hand tools.

Using a circular saw with a special blade, Martin and Lucas cut the weapon into several pieces and then forged the pieces into garden implements."<
