So it won't take a single criminals gun off the streets. But if it really is "no questions asked," then the buyback is a great way for criminals to dispose of evidence (murder weapons, stolen guns).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-88696830719346015572012-07-13T17:58:57.663-04:002012-07-13T17:58:57.663-04:00"Supposedly, they "have worked that out&..."Supposedly, they "have worked that out" with local police"<br /><br />But, but . . . ain't that a FEDERAL law?<br /><br />So now, the local police are colluding & conspiring to violate federal gun laws?<br /><br />Or has someone already notified the ATF, and they, too, are part of the conspiracy?CarlSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-89720099562327334402012-07-13T14:30:03.664-04:002012-07-13T14:30:03.664-04:00Show ID?!

Gave the police the serials, and got one of them back when the cops picked Some Guy up carrying the gun.<br /><br />When I got to the police department, they quickly and easily transferred the gun back to me, an act that I remain very grateful for. There was no effort to follow-up with further persecution of the arrested individual for being in violation for a number of laws, including various forms of possession violations.<br /><br />His claim was to have purchased the gun "from a van in a grocery parking lot", and this statement was disregarded as "something that they all say", which I found very bad to hear.<br /><br />The idea that the .gov could hand over fifty bucks to people similar to the ones who took and resold my former guns is also very bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-39601521681452864512012-07-12T16:22:42.236-04:002012-07-12T16:22:42.236-04:00Kinda makes you wonder which side of the transacti...Kinda makes you wonder which side of the transaction the crooks are on.

Let's do a gun "buyback" in a neighborhood where people probably need guns more than anywhere else in town.<br /><br />Thanks for the laugh.
