New gun buyback for you guys in LA !!

[ZRX61]

As I have a C&R I wonder if I could advertise to pay more for the kind of guns I like about 100 yards down the street?

[RRangel]

Don't forget comments.

Great place for an UOC demonstration.

I think the current request from the powers that be is still to stand down on the UOC events.

[RRangel]

I feel the need to vent again that this "gun buyback" is bad, and is really some sort of disingenuous ploy meant to please anti-liberty gun control advocates. We're currently in an economic downturn, but that does not stop wasteful government squanderers at Los Angeles County and in Antelope Valley. Great.

They're spending precious tax raising resources that they will be crying for come raise and hiring time. When the Sheriff and his gun buyback loving cronies start hinting at important funding make sure you write and remind them where the money goes.

Yeah they just love that line, "off the street" don't they? Can't recall the last time I left a gun "on the street" LOL. But it sure does make good fodder for the media libtards though.

[bodger]

It's grandstanding and nothing more.

Off the streets is a joke, out of closets and basements maybe, guns that are for the most part not going to be used in a crime. That's just a guess, but jeez, what are they trying to sell? Criminals are turning in their guns at these events?

Just another chapter out of GUNS=BAD.

As I said, I've been to a few of these little shindigs. I've also lived from time to time in some fairly ghetto-*** neighborhoods. Call it profiling if you want, but I know what a POS gangbanger scumbucket looks like as well and haven't seen a single one show up to turn in a firearm.

I would like to see the following:

A news crew with hidden camera at the buy-back event. A person is who dressed like and looks like a gangbanger, right down to the tattoos and appropriate looking vehicle. The right kind of gangsta music blaring from the car.
Pulls up and tells the officer that they have a gun in the trunk that they would like to turn if for a gift certificate to Ralph's Market.

In the trunk is a legally configured AR-15.

Whaddya think? No questions asked, no ID check?
This would be the proverbial rock and a hard place for the people sponsoring this event. All caught on camera.

What if I bought 20 OLL for $85 a piece and then went down there to turn them in for $200 a piece?

A OLL IS a firearm by law and it does not say it has to be functioning to receive the $200.

Exactly! An OLL is considered a firearm and all laws regarding such apply. As we know all too well.

If someone showed up with an OLL and whatever agency is running the buy-back refused to consider it a firearm, that would be some kind of contradiction, wouldn't it?

I know the Right People don't want us to make waves on anything right now, but I would love to see something like this happen at a buy-back and be well documented on video.

A stripped OLL is a firearm, but it's not an assault rifle. It'd be in the $50 tier.

[Theseus]

It occurs to me that if stolen weapons are purchased by the state in this fashion, that the state might be guilty of receiving stolen property, unless they run serial numbers and return said stolen items to their rightful owners.

I believe that by statute the person has to have knowledge that the property is stolen to receive stolen property.

The rub? Don't we all know that when OC'ing the police say they assume all guns are stolen and then trace? Would seem pretty hypocritical to try and argue in one breath that they didn't know when their SOP says to presume they are.

But they have immunity you see. . .

Now that would be a first! Maybe a little (fake) blood spatter on the gun would make it interesting too! ........ "WHAT essay??!! Choo said no questions assed!!"

Edited because it's just not worth my effort.
