When Ju'stice and The Edgewood Foundation hosted our very first Anonymous Gun Drop, eight guns were surrendered along with ammunition both during the event and in the days that followed. For some, eight may look like a small number, but to us, and to those who understand the reality of gun violence among our youth, know eight guns removed from circulation means countless lives protected.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott reminded us of something powerful that day. He told us not to focus on the number of weapons collected, but instead to remember a conversation we once had about what truly matters: the potential lives saved. One gun turned in can mean one shooting prevented. One family spared. One child still here. One future still possible.
And that is everything.
This work is not about headlines or statistics. It is about intervention before tragedy occurs. It is about giving families a safe space to act, without fear or shame. It is about protecting our children and choosing life over silence.
That first gun drop was just the beginning. It sparked conversations. It built trust. It opened doors. It showed our community that change does not start with thousands, it starts with one. We are just getting started.And we’re not stopping.
