COLUMBUS, Miss. (WTVA) -- Just give us the guns. No questions asked.

The Columbus Police Department may be joining forces with other city officials, faith-based organizations and members of the community to reduce the number of firearms in town.

If all goes as planned in the form of approval from the Columbus City Council, four locations would be made available to surrender guns on a designated Saturday.

Buy back prices range from $20 for bb guns and air pistols.

Hand guns would would be purchased for $100.

Rifles and shot guns would be $200 and assault rifles would be worth $300.

Funds to purchase weapons would come from a variety of sources including the city of Columbus, business leaders and churches.

"We want to make Columbus the safest city in Mississippi and I think this is the first step in that endeavor," Councilman Kabir Karriem said.

"Rather than allow the criminal element to break in to the home and steal the guns, turn them in and get then off the streets," Police Chief Selvain McQueen said.

Officials say this effort would not be a sting operation.

All weapons would be checked for lost or stolen status.

Mississippi ping

[Vaquero]

must be the zer0holder area of Mississippi

the rest of the state must be ROTF!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Great news. Anyone interested in a bargain take cash and make offers to anyone walking up to the buyback tables.

[dljordan]

The chief should be fired immediately.

“Rather than allow the criminal element to break in to the home and steal the guns, turn them in and get then off the streets,”

Then when they break into your home, YOU will be the only ones MURDERED, as you will be unable to defend yourself.

[BulletBobCo]

Look for home break ins looking for guns to go up.

[caver]

If they are serious, they need to start by tripling the amount they are willing to pay. What a joke.

[BitWielder1]

Honest people hand in their guns, the criminals won't.
Criminals from out of town can now feel safer going there.
How exactly is that making the town safer?

[eyeamok]

How come nobody has created and put up a Youtube video showing a bunch of Gang Bangers, doing recon on the lines of sheeple voluntarily disarming?? Then following them home and collecting their bounty??

Furthermore, it sounds more like the Chief is making the case for Police Officers to keep their weapons at the Station when Off Duty, Maybe it should be ILLEGAL for on Off duty cop to Have a Firearm at home, just to make sure Nobody steals it.

[Yo-Yo]

If they want to make Columbus the safest city in Mississippi, they should be selling firearms at those prices to their citizens.

"Rather than allow the criminal element to break in to the home and steal the guns, turn them in and get then off the streets," Police Chief Selvain McQueen said.

This guy has the mental capacity and I.Q. of a small poodle...well, maybe, not quite that high.

This guy has the mental capacity and I.Q. of a small poodle...well, maybe, not quite that high.

I believe that's a prerequisite for making Police Chief.
From the attitudes we're seeing at that level...

[AppyPappy]

I have a worthless .25cal that the first $100 could have.

More Guns, Less Crime.

Only an IDIOT would give up their gun.
You might give them some bullets, heated of course, and at a high velocity.

The United States Citizens KNOW that they're going to have to fight TYRANTS in their own government.
You cannot protect life, without the ability to take life.

While you are WAITING for the police to respond, someone could be losing their life.
All people of a responsible age should be armed.

As EternalVigilance reminded us:

The Second Amendment IS Pro-Life.

"Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these:
First, a right to life;
Secondly, to liberty;
Thirdly, to property;
together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.
These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation,
commonly called the first law of nature...
In short, it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society,
to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights;
when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights;
the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property.
If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation.
The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty,
it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift
and voluntarily become a slave."




-- Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists

Let us NEVER FORGET THAT !

Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.


It's time to mock the "Gun Control" Zombies!
"Gun Control" is a firm grip, steady breathing, accurate aim (developed by lots of practice), and a slow trigger pull.


The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
We need to learn from the Swiss and implement their "gun control measures" here in the United States right now, today!
These laws are the ones we should shove into the "2nd Amendment Haters" faces.

" Today, military service for Swiss males is universal. At about age 20, every Swiss male goes through 118 consecutive days of recruit training in the Rekrutenschule. ...

Even before required training begins, young men and women may take optional courses with the Swiss army's M57 assault rifle.
They keep that gun at home for three months and receive six half-day training sessions.

From age 21 to 32, a Swiss man serves as a "frontline" troop in the Auszug, and devotes three weeks a year (in eight of the 12 years) to continued training.
From age 33 to 42, he serves in the Landwehr (like America's National Guard); every few years, he reports for two-week training periods.
Finally, from ages 43, to 50, he serves in the Landsturm; in this period, he only spends 13 days total in "home guard courses."

Over a soldier's career he also spends scattered days on mandatory equipment inspections and required target practice.
Thus, in a 30-year mandatory military career, a Swiss man only spends about one year in direct military service.
Following discharge from the regular army, men serve on reserve status until age 50 (55 for officers).

By the Federal Constitution of 1874, military servicemen are given their first equipment, clothing and arms.
After the first training period, conscripts must keep gun, ammunition and equipment an ihrem Wohnort ("in their homes") until the end of their term of service.

Today, enlisted men are issued M57 AUTOMATIC assault rifles and officers are given pistol.
Each reservist is issued 24 rounds of ammunition in sealed packs for emergency use.
(Contrary to Handgun Control's claim that "all ammunition must be accounted for," the emergency ammunition is the only ammo that requires accounting.)

After discharge from service, the man is given a bolt rifle free from registration or obligation.
Starting in the 1994, the government will GIVE ex-reservists assault rifles. Officers carry pistols rather than rifles and are given their pistols the end of their service.

When the government adopts a new infantry rifle, it sells the old ones to the public.

Reservists are encouraged to buy MILITARY ammunition
(7.5 and 5.6mm-5.56 mm in other countries-for rifles and 9 and 7.65 mm Luger for pistols)
which is sold AT COST by the government, for target practice .
Non-military ammunition for long-gun hunting and .22 Long Rifle (LR) ammo are not subsidised, but are subiect to NO sales controls.
Non-military non-hunting ammunition more powerful than .22 LR (such as .38 Spl.) is registered at the time of sale.

Swiss military ammo must be registered IF bought at a private store, BUT NEED NOT BE REGISTERED IF bought at a range.
The nation's 3,000 shooting ranges sell the overwhelming majority of ammunition.
Technically, ammunition bought at the range must be used at the range, but the rule is barely known and almost never obeyed.

The army SELLS a variety of machine guns, submachine guns, anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft guns, howitzers and cannons.
Purchasers of these weapons require an EASILY OBTAINED cantonal license, and the weapons are registered.
In a nation of six million people, there are at least two million guns, including 600,000 FULLY AUTOMATIC assault rifles, half a million pistols, and numerous machine guns.
Virtually every home has a gun.

Besides SUBSIDIZED military surplus, the Swiss can buy other firearms easily too.
While long guns require NO special purchase procedures, handguns are sold only to those with a Waffenerwerbsschien (purchase certificate) issued by a cantonal authority.
A certificate is issued to every applicant over 18 who is not a criminal or mentally infirm.

There are NO restrictions on the carrying of long guns.
About half the cantons have strict permit procedures for carrying handguns, and the other half have NO rules at all.
There is NO discernible difference in the crime rate between the cantons as a result of the different policies.

Thanks to a lawsuit brought by the Swiss gun lobby, semi-automatic rifles require NO PURCHASE PERMIT and are NOT registered by the government.
Thus, the ONLY long guns registered by the government are FULL AUTOMATICS."

The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
Let's adopt THEIR LAWS !

Remember:

The beauty of the Second Amendment is
that it will not be needed
until they TRY to take it.

Read Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, IT'S ABOUT TYRANNY .

"This guy has the mental capacity and I.Q. of a small poodle...well, maybe, not quite that high"

Yes, that was an insult to small poodles. Some good size gun shop needs to get a professionally made up sign and stand a half block away: Will pay $130 cash for any handgun marked Colt, Smith & Wesson, High Standard!" Stop and talk". Unfortunately most people in that town probably couldn't read the sign. Mmmmmm, Mmmmmm, Mmmmmm.

“Rather than allow the criminal element to break in to the home and steal the guns, turn them in and get then off the streets,” Police Chief Selvain McQueen said.

How about keeping the gun and shooting the criminal asshole dead when he breaks in thus reducing the criminal element and making the city safer?

GET YOUR GUNS HERE!
NO BACKGROUND CHECKS!
NO REGISTRATION!







I'm sure that people will pay at least 4 times as much as the cops will.

Y'all come.
And bring cash!

I did see a video where a group prettending to be ‘Citizens Against Gun Violence’ went around a neighborhood with a clipboard and signs. They would talk to the homeowners who would all say’ of course I’m against gun violence, guns are terrible, we should get them off the street, etc..” Then the group would offer to put a sign saying ‘Proud to be a gun free home’ with a big picture of a gun with a line through it. Every single person refused! It was pretty funny.
