The guns are to be melted-down.

(after the cops pick out the ones they want to take home)

I think I saw an M1 carbine in the gallery.

BTW I know a guy who’s brother is a cop in Ca, neither are friends of mine, and the cop in Ca has his brother buy 100 round AR15 mags an send them to him to circumvent the laws he is supposed to enforce.

Then when the asshat brother here visits the Cop in Ca takes him to the police range and they blow off tons of ammo for entertainment on the taxpayers dime.

If I lived in that state this would not be so simple for them.

I would sue to force them to check for stolen guns, and to return any found to the lawful owner.

As currently set-up, any punk could steal a gun (or several) and get up to $75.00 for it, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

Oh, Also, The only folks that can sell across international borders without approval from the State Dept and ATF or liscensing are Eric Holder and the Justice Dept /s

Were these guns actually on the streets?

I know people who cruise gun shows buying broken guns really cheap, just to have them to “Turn In” at the next “Buy-Back” for $100.00 each!

I know one guy who “Antiqued” several Crossman .45 replica BB guns and even cap-guns, then got $100.00 each for them from the ignorant wretch manning the “Buy-Back” booth.

Sometimes “the people” win. ;-)

So do they check if any of them are stolen or maybe used in another crime? Sounds like an easy way to get rid of a murder weapon.

Anyone recommend a good place to get rid of one ...

Put it on here: http://www.gunauction.com/ . May as well get some money for it to buy a good gun and teach your kids how to respect and USE it.

“..don’t really want it anymore (kids in my house, hasn’t been fired in 15 years..”

I’m not trying to be mean, but why are you afraid of having a weapon in your house? Having a family is all the more reason to have a gun.

Just do as millions of other responsible adults do and keep it out of the kids reach. Better yet, teach them gun safety and how to properly use it.

If its a Tec9 type you may wish to call a dealer and inquire about it.
I know high cap detachable mags are illegal in Ca now.
I’m sure it was legal when you bought it, but I would hate to see you get in any trouble.

At any rate, a Ca Dealer can set you straight on Ca laws.
