My best guess is that it will lead back to where they were tested. Have pictures of some tests from my son.....circa 1990.

Dont they advertise these buy-back events as “no questions asked”? Offering those who turn in weapons that have been used in deadly crimes the opportunity to get away wituout being caught?

It’s newsworthy, sure, but the REAL reason the guv and media is so sensitive to this now is their awareness that a little less than 22 THOUSAND of those are floating around the black market.

AND THAT OUR GUV HAD A HAND IN IT.

And that now that that op is a huge GF they have no reliable way of knowing that these suckers aren’t lurking around the end of the runways of Boston-Logan, and Vegas, and Kennedy, and O-Hare.

Most of them are in Syria and Sinai, but over the long-run it’s unlikely that at least a couple will not find their way into CONUS.
