The picture is of Sheriff Lee Baca tossing a gun into a pile of thousands of guns, the vast majority of which appear to be wood stocked long guns. I'll bet there are a great many historical gems in that pile, and about zero that were ever used or ever going to be used in a crime.

What will we use to hold our hamburgers?!?

^^ LOL

But I guess that these are actually "buns of steel"

[bodger]

I just saw that on the news, the newscaster giddily explaining that they were to be melted down into re-bar for a new freeway or something.

I prefer my buns toasted though.

cops incinerate money one week, and the next week, whine that they need more money.

Good catch guys. I decided not to edit my headline because, let's face it, my mistake is pretty funny. Freudian, even. Probably has something to do with what I was looking at on another website

I see the buttstock of a G3 type in that pile. What total moron would give away a G3 for a gift card to Ralphs?

I just picked up a pack of buns for sandwiches tonight, I guess i should have bought out their stock and hoarded ALL THE BUNS!!

The price of re-bar would skyrocket.

I hope all of those guns were damaged beyond repair and are nothing more than pieces of junk.. if not, those people who turned them in are suckers.

How funny would it have been if the gun he threw went off.

Must be another slow news day as it was broadcast everywhere. As usual, the media gets giddy when firearms are involved.
