Who's up for standing outside and offering $75 - 125 to people for their for nice, legal firearms?

Someone should be there to appraise the firearms, so people don't sell a valuable collector's item for $50.

Moron alert.

We protested the local gun "buyback" program here in Indiana a few yars ago. I remember an old lady bringing in her late husbands single shot rifle that hadnt ben used in some years. Is that what they menat by making it safer by taking guns off the street. We made the nightly news, but the real story was some thugs who masked their face when they dropped off a pistol. It was probably a murder weapon that was to be destroyed in the next few days. All done no questions asked and a reward for it too.

[Rodney King]

I wish they would do that where I live, I would go to walmart and buy a bunch of pellet guns and then unload them at the buy-back.

[RockinRight]

Columbia MO or Columbia SC?

>> “When you take guns off the streets you save lives,” City Councilman E.W. Cromartiesaid <<

Oh yea. Disarming law-abiding citizens worked really well in Washington DC didn't it?

E.W. Cromartie is a moron. Like all gun grabbers, facts mean nothing. Hope the folks there can get rid of this idiot before the crime rate there soars.

[Drammach]

Oh.. OK...

COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA..

Now, it makes sense..
Wasn't sure if it was the country or the city, and which city..
I'm in MO, and we also have a "Columbia"..

[hiredhand]

Maybe they should do a "Promiscuous Female Roundup", and offer amnesty for all those females who are equipped to be prostitutes and who are thus inclined to act in such a manner.

...in the name of preventing the spread of STDs of course.

OH WAIT....but all females are "equipped"! Gosh...come to think of it, us males are probably better "equipped"!

As we are ALL equipped to be violent....guns or NO guns.

ALL citizens whould be armed and proficient. Then when criminals require application of deadly force, the problem will be effected for the better a little closer to its source.

Why don't these morons learn? Are they really THAT stupid!? They haven't had a look at gun crime stats in Britain since private firearms ownership was essentially banned back around the mid 90's or so. ....as opposed to areas here in the States here that are "will issue" (CCW permits).... or simply more rural areas that are simply well armed. The contrast is alarming.

We have a saying here at the house....."Never, EVER part with your weapons!" The only exception to this is if you give one away to a family member. ...and we all think alike so it's not like weaponry goes far around here.

No disrespect intended to our ladies here on FR! You girls are the greatest. :-)

An Armed society is a Polite society.

Your tax dollars at work making liberal morons (redundant?) feel good about themselves. At least their intentions are good and it's really intentions that matter.

“When you take guns off the streets you save lives,” City Councilman E.W. Cromartie said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon. “Make our streets, homes and neighborhoods safe.”

Note to E.W: Yes, you save the lives of criminals (don't you have drug warlords down there?) since they will now have all the guns. And you make the streets, homes, and neighborhoods safer for them also. It would be great if you could somehow try to make the leap to reality. It will be a big leap for you, but try to do it anyway.

[ctdonath2]

Cool! I could turn my .22 into a 7.62x39, a Winchester 170 into an SKS - a nearly 100% return on investment! or turn around and buy something even more valuable off someone else in line.

[PistolPaknMama]

Now why do these heathens do this the weekend before Christmas? We all got better stuff to do.

If you have your Christmas shopping done, and want to meet me in Columbia at 10 AM this Saturday, FReepmail me or drop an email to ds42a AT bellsouth dot net. If you are a gun dealer and can appraise weapons, let me know. I'll contact a gun dealer friend and see if he can meet us out there.

I'll check on a permit. (Swampy, I hit the SC ping list, fyi.)

“When you take guns off the streets you save tyrants lives,” City Councilman E.W. Cromartiesaid at a news conference Tuesday afternoon. “Make our streets, homes and neighborhoods safe for criminals.”

[Slings and Arrows]

Sheesh, I have a POS bolt-action shotgun I'd gladly take $50 for, especially since it's worth about $0. Unfortunately, it's not worth driving to Columbia for the money.

Idiots.

[KoRn]

If they would announce these things in advance I'd go buy a crate of $40 .25 auto's and unload with a HUGE profit margin!!

[.38sw]

Individuals will receive $50 to $100 per firearm, depending on the type of gun and whether it is operational.

Sounds like there's money to be had for junk. Non-operation rusted crap? Hey, it's worth $50. That'll really help reduce crime, eh? This is just feel-good nonsense.

[Paul_Denton]

“When you take guns off the streets you save lives,”

Yeah disarming the population saves the lives of murderers and rapists and others who do not deserve to live.

“When you take guns off the streets you save lives,” City Councilman E.W. Cromartie said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon. “Make our streets, homes and neighborhoods safe.”

You just can't make stuff like this up. I know it's hard to believe, but there are lots of other morons (mostly in blue states) who "think" just like this moron.

The idea for “Gun Amnesty Day” came from the Unity 2004 summit in October, which focused on improving services and programs to decrease youth violence.

Hey! I have an idea - lets disarm the victims and spend more taxpayer dollars on hriing more government employess to "improve services" I'm just sure this will decrease violence ha ha ha ha

City Councilwoman Tameika Isaac Devine that a Teen Hot Line will be available in January. By dialing 311, teens can talk to specially trained operators who will offer guidance regarding violence issues

I can see it now some thug calling a hotline and discussing his need to rob with a city employee. Where do city councilwomen get their brains sucked out, because I gotta say whoever did the job on this moonbat sure knew his business.
