Cut the Crap:

Kids in developed countries are at much more of an advantage when it comes to having quality weapons. In underdeveloped countries many kids are stuck using small knives or stones. The fortunate ones are able to get machetes. Guns for the Children does their best to correct this disparity by providing quality and dependable arms and ammunition to children whose only wrongdoing was not being born in the best country in the world…the United States.

Personal Experience:

Justin and I had an amazing time at Guns for the Children. After we got through the checkpoints we were led around James McCreedolie. Even though he only had one real limb left he had a great disposition and was very impassioned by the cause he was working for. It was very inspiring to see him work. He told me they ship out over eight tons of arms and ammunition a week. G4C receives most of their weapons from private donations within the United States. We live in one of the most charitable countries in the world.

The work was somewhat menial. We had a list of weapons that were going in different boxes. Once we figured out where everything went, things moved along a lot faster. Justin messed up, however, when he accidentally packaged and sent a box of stun grenades instead of nerve gas grenades. We didn't tell the supervisor. Hopefully no one will find out. I spent most of the time there using a hammer to make sure the firing pins were properly placed in the shoulder held rocket launchers. They made me wear earplugs and safety goggles, lame. McCeedolie thought it was hilarious to light firecrackers while we were working to try and scare us. I still have no idea how he managed to operate a lighter, he only had two fingers on his only arm. Unfortunately we were unable to round up anyone to help us volunteer this time, but next time we go, I am sure we can round up someone.
