Mexico Barters Guns for Computers

According to an article from Yahoo News, Mexico City officials will give away a total of 150 brand new donated computers to individuals willing to trade in a firearm.

Guadalupe Lopez, a local head for the central district of Alvaro, Obregon, said, "People often have a gun at home, which could perhaps be for self-defense, but sadly it becomes a family tragedy when it is not used properly."

So why not trade it in for a computer. This is a great idea. Your aren't just bardering item for item here. You are exchanging violence for education, but what would are great, great grandfather's think? 'Your telling me, you want to give me that colored box thing for my rifle?'
