达拉斯「枪支变园艺工具」收枪活动举行 铁匠现场拆解改制工具
Dallas——位于德克萨斯州达拉斯县的达拉斯市，北达拉斯「枪支变花园」（Guns to Gardens DFW）项目10月18日下午2点至5点在 New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church 举行收枪活动，民众可匿名上交不想要的枪支，由铁匠现场拆解、打造成园艺工具和艺术品。
据《达拉斯焦点报》（The Dallas Focal）报道，参与者在枪支处理完成后可获赠礼品卡；送枪者须将未上膛的枪支放在车辆后备箱或后货舱，由枪支安全官取出并监督拆解——按联邦规范拆解后，枪支在法律上不再被视为枪支，也不发生所有权转移。
达拉斯 Transfiguration 圣公会主任牧师 Casey Shobe 表示，去年秋天在其教堂举行的活动吸引了家中有幼童、或担心亲人患病抑郁的家庭参与；他引用《以赛亚书》「将刀打成犁头」的经文，称这种转化极具力量。该项目由本地信仰社区安全倡导者组建的公益慈善组织运营，旨在减少家庭枪支存量、传递社区和平信息。（GSM 据 The Dallas Focal 报道）
Dallas 'Guns to Gardens' Collection Turns Surrendered Firearms Into Garden Tools
DALLAS — Dallas is a city in Dallas County, Texas. The North Texas "Guns to Gardens DFW" program held a firearm collection event on October 18 from 2 to 5 p.m. at New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church, where residents could anonymously surrender unwanted guns to be dismantled by blacksmiths and remade into garden tools and artwork.
According to The Dallas Focal, participants may receive gift cards after the firearms are processed. People arriving with firearms were asked to keep them unloaded and secured in a vehicle's trunk or rear cargo area; a firearm safety officer removed the guns and oversaw their dismantling. Organizers say that once a firearm is dismantled under federal guidelines, it is no longer legally considered a gun and ownership is not transferred.
Father Casey Shobe, rector of the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration in Dallas, said a previous event at his church in fall 2025 drew households with young children and families concerned about a loved one's illness or depression. He connected the effort to the passage in Isaiah about turning weapons into tools for cultivation, describing the transformation as a powerful experience. The program is run by a public charity organized by local faith-based community safety advocates. (GSM, based on The Dallas Focal reporting)
