This ordinary stainless steel revolver was carried by New York police officer Walter Weaver into the World Trade Center as he risked his life to save others on September 11, 2001. He never made it out that day, but his revolver was later recovered from the ashes. Officer Weaver's family donated the gun to the NRA National Firearms Museum, where it now holds a place of honor as a reminder of the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line daily. It's an ordinary firearm that stands as a symbol of extraordinary bravery.

    People against guns have no basis in reality.

    Flawed logic. Zero critical thinking skills addressed. No knowledge of history (past or present).

    After looking into the facts regarding gun policy/FBI Crime Statistics, I will argue in a pro-gun fashion to defend reality and out of respect to our Forefathers.

  • Thank you Office Weaver for your bravery, you courage and for making the ultimate sacrifice while trying to save the lives of total strangers. You will never be forgotten.

    And thank you to the Weaver family for making this priceless symbol of American courage available to a grateful nation. Office Walter Weaver will forever be remembered for the hero he was. Thank you!
