This is the way gun 'buy backs' should be done. It probably should be called Gun Recycling.

I’ll take the colt detective special in the middle of the pic.

Is the bottom row left a Browning Hi Power?

How many “gun buy back” events actually follow federal law regarding the transfer of weapons? Do they all have a licensed dealer present to conduct the transaction?

[NorthMountain]

No.

[tumblindice]

Nope.

[Tupelo]

I seriously doubt they have or need an FFL. After all they
always have a government official and usually a political cop (as opposed to a street cop) on scene.

Pretty sure it is a Browning 1922. They made them in .380 and .32 ACP. FN made a ton of them pre-WW2 and then some more after the war.

Nice post war M&P

Not sure but I see two shitbox(probably Jimenez) .380 hand grenades... the ones in the boxes.

Jennings pot-metal blowbacks? Those will fire most of the time.

[envisio]

They will load and extract most of the time also.
Lord help the one who accidentally loads a +p in those things.

[mad_as_he$$]

There is no exemption for transfers because you are a local government official.

[massgopguy]

and if that gun is used for protection and a ballistics test showed it was used in a previous murder?.....

[mad_as_he$$]

Many of these events are “amnesty” from prosecution. That doesn’t work for me in homicide cases.

Do you seriously believe the city of Chicago needs a FFL to purchase guns in a “buy back”?
Emmanuel’s Chicago?
Or Landrieu’s new Orleans?
Who is going to enforce that? Obama’s Just-us Dept’s BATFE?
Maybe in a nation of laws, but we are long past that..

I’ll take the S&W revolvers and the Browning! You can keep the RG junk, Ravens, IMP junk and that Sterling .22 auto which probably jams on every shot!

“It is a win - win for all concerned.”

Yeah, except those who trade guns for a living - they’re being edged out of the business by yet more government interference.

That said, at least the guns don’t get melted down, someone who actually wants them can buy them. If they actually ever had a “buy-back” here in Texas (fat chance), I might go and offer the sellers more money than they’d get at the front of the line.

Of course, the big problem with these programs is that there MUST be a lot of guns that were stolen, or used in crimes, that are sold to the buy-back people, all on the promise of “no questions asked.” Real smart...for a rock.

Which is why, if I ever bought one like that, I’d first keep all of the paperwork to PROVE when I obtained it and, second, I’d probably change the barrel or give it a serious polishing to change the ballistic signature.
