Gun buyback policy?

[Barang]

do they ask questions when you turn them in or zero question?

i was watching bluebloods last night and they have a gun buyback scene where a brother of a thug sold his brother's colt 45 with pearl grips for $200. the gun was used (robbery) to shoot a customer in a convenient or supermarket store. another way of getting rid of evidence if that happens in real life.

They hand you questioner to fill out about where you heard about it , do you think it makes us safer etc. No personal info. I went to mission hills for one and there was a film crew filmng people turning in firearms, I jumped all over their a55 for that supposed to be anonymous.

no bueno!

I wonder how much I could get for a couple of flintlock pistols?

from what i can tell, there's no concrete way to match bullet or casing to gun. modern mass production gun barrels are mostly uniform, and unless they use a very obscure ammo type, it's not likely to be good enough in court.

"they'll trace the gun to the crime" is essentially a scare tactic meant to scare criminals into either confessing, if they're cornered, or to sell off their guns, which are often reported stolen, thus generating a possible lead.

If you paid money for that advice I'd ask for your money back.

[hermosabeach]

No questions asked

No Id needed


Lots of moms find their kids guns when they go off to prison

They trade them in for the gift card.

Say you have a Tec 9 and they assess low tier ($50 instead advertised $300), you disagree with their assessment. 1. Does they let you drive away no question ask? 2. Do they give your gun back?

[Scratch705]

so if i bring some homemade zipguns no question asked and i get the gift cards?

might be time to make some double barrel shotguns then.

[dummykid]

i had a few AR15 lowers bought about $50 each, and got $100 each during the buy back, then i used the mony to get a better 9mm lower.

so the city is much safer now from what? criminals are still on the loose and still using illegal firearms. the guns that were taken out of circulation had no used from the people turning them in.

and this don't ask don't tell cra* is beyond stupid!

Personally i view buy backs as a publicity stunt by the sponsor like council person this or represenative that. Their agenda is to get votes from the clueless and sheeps.

[Barang]

^^^ yep! and the low information voters think they're making a dent in reducing crime.

[Snoopy47]

My Gun Buy Back Policy is to surrender them for buy back if the buy back payments exceeds the common going market rate.

I've dump off crap Sears Roebuck stuff nicely doing this.

I don’t know how BB’s are done elsewhere but in Oakland the OPD uses community centers or churches with parking lots, no walk-ins are allowed, you have to be in a vehicle and drive into and through the parking lot with the gun(s) in the car and once you hand over you gun(s) OPD notes your vehicle’s license plate number and assigns it to the gun(s) you turn in…They try and be sneaky about taking down your vehicle’s plate number but they only fool the unsuspecting…

It’s been a while since I’ve observed a BB in Oakland but that’s how they were doing them 6-7 years ago when out of curiosity I went and watched two BB’s in Oakland. They other thing I noticed at one of the BB’s in West Oakland, if you weren’t black or brown they weren’t paying you for your gun(s), they’d still take them from you but they weren’t paying you for them.

[BigPimping]

I’d rather rathole a gun forever than support those events.

[SharedShots]

Same people who might cry about personal data being leaked are the same ones who parade out in the open where there are probably dozens of video cameras rolling along with media coverage as they run to get some free money. Then they'll walk back to their vehicle not even thinking that who has a gun to turn in probably has more that are better.

Everyone here who turns in a gun is supporting the gun buyback program. There is no two ways about it. But hey, same people probably post about stupid gun laws too.

wonder what would happen if then they refuse to turn in the gun then at that point if they don't get paid for it.

also, take rental car to these buybacks. or one of those turo car rentals made by a different person

[SilveradoColt21]

I don't think they ask questions, though I could be wrong

[damngato]

I assume these don't count as one of your 5 transactions a year?

He is actually right. They can match a Bullet to a gun that they suspect was used in a crime. As for putting a gun info in a data base and getting a hit it is more unlikely. Especially if that gun has been fired since. Where there is success is when something is damaged and leaves distinct marks. Like a broken firing ping or damaged barrel.

Additionally in the past there was many different data bases based on region. I don’t know if they ever started using a National data base.

Uber or Lyft. It’ll be less expensive.

[edgerly779]

I bought some blem 80% for 20 bucks each to practice on and traded them for couple hundred dollars in gift cards.

I was given a flintlock pistol and a Hawken rifle. It was fun for a summer but got tired of blackpowder. A buyback was happening at the Lennox Station for Mother's Day so we took them in and got two $100 gift cards for them as I recalled.

The deputies thought they were museum pieces until I pointed out they were from Cabela's.

Doubt a uber or lyft will take you.

Why would you say that? You don’t know me.

Question: If one identifies their pronouns as “We/They” does Uber/Lyft charge a group rate?

I think it is less about you the person and more like they dont want to purposely drive a person with guns in their car to a gun buyback surrounded by cops.

Also side question. Since it is established gun buybacks are no questions asked. Do you think they would flag me if I show up with 3d printed guns to turn in to get the money? Like at every buyback within my area?

Then why did you say you doubt they’d take me? Oh well.

That’s only an issue if one divulges the purpose for the transport. Here’s the address, there may be a line. I’ll tip well.

No, but I suspect they’ll record the Uber plate number…..

I use the term you not as to be specifically you. But you as in the collective mass of people who woukd use uber or lyft to goto a gun buyback with guns.

One unnamed individual turned in 3D-printed guns in exchange for gift cards. He told Fox 26 that he exchanged 62 3D-printed guns, which each cost him approximately $3 to produce, and received $50 per firearm. He noted that "The goal was not personal profit, but to send [Houston leaders] a message about spending 1 million tax dollars on something that has no evidence of any effect on crime…”

brilliant!

Think this will fly at CA gun buybacks? Cause for 150 per " assault gun" I will gladly buy a 3d printer and crank a few dozen out for buybacks near me

Replace ejectors...they mark the cae.
Replace firing pins...they mark the primer.
Replace the chambers...micro flaws emboss the case.

Use a revolver shooting ice bullets.

from the other thread in santa ana: https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/....php?t=1808667


so no go.

[Scratch705]

A 3d printed liberator pistol is functional. For about 1 shot.

Or a 3d printed ar lower with lpk installed is still under budget vs $300 gift card return. And if they dont accept this then it means a 3d printed ar lower is not a real firearm thus meaning it doesn't fall under the laws governing firearms.

[Vangster]

I have some old broken bb rifles, will they take them?
