Gun buyback El Monte SoCal

[5150Marcelo]

Any FFL dealers gonna go scout the people surrendering their arms, see if there is anything worth buying? Make it into a state funded gun show, using their own program against them.



I am sure the lamestream media would call a gun buyback a success and mosin nagants a SKS assualt rifle

Right. Or callem "russian sniper rifles used to kill people"

Years and years ago there was a gun buyback in Oakland giving away computers. I did not have one at the time so I took this working, bolt action, Sears .22 with a broken tube feed (still worked single shot) that I paid a friend $10 for down to Oaktown for the trade. First 50 people got a comp. I was number 50. When they got to me, I looked at the rifle, thought about it's history, and how that was going to end there in Oakland. When the person collecting guns said, "Hand it over.", I turned and walked away. He called after me and I ignored him.

That rifle was stolen along with all my other guns in 2003. Die criminals, DIE!

Someone please tell me an FFL is going to make sure grandma doesn't turn in any of grandpa's old WWII bring-backs.

[bigmike82]

Seriously!

I volunteer to help any local FFL Dealer who wants to go in and buy stuff.

I wonder how many Raven .25's they accumulate during these "buy-backs"...

I really can't see anyone turning in anything of value unless it's stolen. Some people may not want their guns anymore, but they're not stupid. That's why auction sites are so popular these days. People started realizing that they could make some money off the stuff that they used to give away for free.

[duenor]

oh hell.
I'll go over there.
Anyone else want to go with me?

my goal is to buy c&r only, but we can arrange for modern guns as well if its a really good deal.
does anyone have a battery-powered copy machine?
or an inverter to plug my copier in, so we can make copies of the sellers driver license?

[Johnny Diablo]

I bought a power inverter at costco for less than $40. One of the better purchases I made. You can also use it when SHTF and the power goes out.

Oh yes they are. You would be surprised at how stupid some folks are who live in the ghetto.

And I talked to a FFL that went to the Oakland buy back, it was a fiasco to say the least. They lied on the press release about the terms of the buy back and were changing the terms as they wanted. The police were the ones changing the rules. So if you see one of these buy backs, don't believe anything they say, even if it is in writing. Remember, it is being put on by people who think all gun owners are criminals and should be in jail.

dang duenor... I wish I was there for that..

I'd love nothing more than to set up shop and buy quality C&R all day long...

Maby you can get an 01FFL to come along incase some nice WWII pistols show up?

Can you explain further? I have been to buybacks before, they are...interesting

[Moonclip]

I went to it, they asked for ID to turn in guns which I refused to do. I will give a full report later. Also in addition to $50 cash they were giving away other options like $80 gift cards to Vons and $90 gift cards to Red Wing shoes.

[jumbopanda]

No self-respecting gun owner should be supporting this crap. You'd just be encouraging more useless stunts like this.

I'm in an LSAT mode:

If any person believes that buy backs reduce crime then he/she doesn't have the mental capacity of my big toe.

I'm surprised...dumbfounded really that people still believe buy backs have any positive impact on gun crimes. I took a criminology class last quarter at UC Davis that refuted many crime prevention policies and even this class proved that buy backs were a complete waste of taxpayers' money and gov't time (not that there's really nothing wrong with that one).

The voters in Don Perata's district seem to think his ideas are good for the tax payer. They keep on voting him into office so he can grandstand with my hard earned money.
