Another San Diego gun buyback in a GFSZ

[ja308]

I think the police and "others" would be very happy if this happened.. they really don't care how they get a gun so long as they get it and can destroy it.

I noticed they stipulated "in working order".. I guess they got tired of paying $100 for rusted out inop junk.. lol

I like the guy that turned in all the "junk" stuff and then used the money to fund some sort of shooting event..

not so sure anything gun related can be called "junk" remember criminals are SMART and they can easily adapt stuff most of us would throw away!
Even a worn sear or spring that lost it's compression could be of value to a thug wanting to home build something!

I say the city /state should offer a dollar amount for EVERY gun related part - even if we do NOT see how it would be used !
Even handgun grips could be used by a criminal for a ZIP gun type application.
I SAY WHY RISK IT? The Seau foundation can well afford to go the EXTRA mile .

As for the funding a shooting event -- shooters are not the problem , criminals are and they are smart.

Yup. just like that Winchester 1886 ca. 45-90 I want but way to expensive to own. Damn. I'll bet some sheepole will turn it in today.

How about printing up a large banner with the gfsz penal code printed out in plain text...might get the wheels turning in whatever local media tries to cover the event.

Isn't saying they don't want them stolen in home invasion robberies simply an admission of their own inability to prevent crime and protect the citizens?

I was going to go turn in my old JC Higgins 22lr that is broken for $100 until I heard that they ran out of gift cards. It's a great way to get rid of those old broken guns that are worth less than $100.

But the $100 I saved was going to go towards a new 10-22. I was looking forward to telling them that they were subsidizing my new purchase.

Thats awesome! I used my stimulus check a few years back to buy my first Glock. I named her Dianne.

I LOVE THESE THINGS!!!! buy a bunch of 30 dollar POS pistols and get 100$ gift card back for each. Make money off the very idiots that want to disarm people....win win.

Sure that will work great, after 30 months.

[caboom]

Do the police check to see if the firearms are reported stolen? If so, are they returned to the rightful owners?
If they aren't returned, wouldn't that be considered theft by the PD?

[Dreaded Claymore]

Make up a sign saying "ITS A TRAP" and hold it up on the route in.

Wearing an Ackbar mask, no less. If anyone asks for clarification, say something like, "We can't afford rip-offs of that magnitude!"

Ah man, you are so right... I have a POS Jennings .22 that I would happily give to any idiot, including the SDPD, for $100! (Of course, the semi-auto rifles will stay in my safe!)

[Which Way Out]

Garage sale type of Sign down the street that say's FREE ESTAMITES at ____________location. Blanket the neigborhood a few days ahead of buy back.

Get sign permits or you know what will happen

Perhaps some brave individuals should go down to the GFSZ and start making citizen arrests for anyone in possession of a firearm not locked in a case. Something tells me SDPD will refuse to take custody of the arrested suspects, as required by law.

And they expect law abiding citizens to obey their statist laws? Hah!

I think violating the GFSZ Act is only a misdemeanor, and I don't think you can make a citizen's arrest for misdemeanors.

A citizen in CA can make a citizens arrest for a misdemeanor, but unlike a felony, the LEO does not have to take custody if they don't want to.

BTW, a violation of the Federal based GFSZA is a felony... 5 years hard time... the Fed's don't have any misdemeanors!

A couple of interesting notes:

1) the only way the Feds were able to bypass the SCOTUS ruling of the GFSZA as being unconstitutional was to revise it to include the interstate commerce clause... Weapons built in-state (such as AKs & AR's built at a "Build Party") are not subject to this clause, and therefore should not be subject to the GFSZA prohibitions (not that I'd want to have to test that in court, but it's worth knowing about!)

2) Did you know that law enforcement officers who are off duty are also not allowed to carry in a GFSZ?!?! Great thinking, huh?

3) Ron Paul has a bill in committee to kill the GFSZA once and for all.... ya gotta Love that guy!

[ja308]

clearly ammunition should be included. Especially that most common caliber of choice for close in assassinations, the .22 lr. I think $100 for 500 rounds is fair for a "buy back". And imagine that they could get over 10,000 assassination bullets off the streets in one "buy back."

Wow , i agree !
Pay to get ammo off the street .That's even better than getting the guns .
(off the street) $100 for 500 rds -seems fair -possibly even $150 for the modern 36grn hollowpoints.
I see no reason not to include deadly reloading die's too .
many time's owners think these items are worn out ,or even obsolete and set them out at yard sales , flea market etc.
A sponsored by back would stop the criminal element from making their own type of deadly ammo.

I liked RP for decades --his HR 1146 (american soverignty bill ) got 70 cosponsers at the time .reading GFSZA is an indication how far we have sunk in the common sense dept
