That’s cool. A thug can go buy a gun for $50 and trade it in for 100-200 dollars! He can keep doing that over and over again and make more money in a day than selling drugs and he never even has to really give up his own gun....
That’s what I was thinking ... commit a crime .. maybe even kill someone, have your innocent gra’maw turn in the gun, get a c-note ... and even if they do a ballistics test ... gra’maw was annonymous ... wasn’t she?
I wonder how many guns are stolen during this period.
Well, that’s it then. The police can all retire now that they have taken 119 guns off the street. The gangs are disarmed...
Wonderful. Figuring the odds of a particular gun being used in a homicide as 1 in 10,000 (which is a generous estimate, given that some guns are used in multiple homicides) this measure prevented 0.0119 deaths.
Trade in your gun, get a sex change.
I guess the gun-grabbers realized the program shouldn't be called a "buy-back" considering it wasn't they who gave the guns out to the public in the first place. Ah, lawyers...
Any working firearm is worth more than what they gave them.
Each of these needs a guy out front with a card table, a big sign reading “FREE GUN APPRAISALS,” and a Blue Book.
“...the drive netted seven illegal guns, including five assault rifles”
Whoa, they got five German Sturmgewehr 44’s? In one day? In San Francisco? That’s amazing! I hear those World War II-era “assault rifles” are hard to find nowadays.
