Thoughts on a surrender amnesty for firearms?

[sigguy552]

After the recent killing of the CHP officer, I wanted to get the thoughts and opinions of the LE members here on a gun amnesty during encounters with law enforcement. The gist of the law would be if during an encounter with police, you inform the officer of a firearm and surrender it, you don't catch the charge.

This would be akin to a "buyback" where you can turn in anything without being prosecuted.

So. Gangster getting pulled over just has to declare he has a gun and gets a free pass?

Absolutely not.

So he can get off with no charges then go acquire another one when it's convenient? I think I get what you are aiming for in that it would take the threat of imprisonment away, and thus the motivation for shooting it out. But someone like this is rarely only going to have only one thing they could be charged with, i.e. the gun.

We could avoid all possibility of violent encounters if we gave criminals an "all come free" pass on everything if they come clean. No.

I never liked "no question asked" gun surrender program.

I know an LEO who got in trouble after he wrote down the license plate number of a person who turned in a gun. I don't know why he wrote the number, though.

"Free Pass" just leaves the criminal free to steal another gun. What do think that criminal will do next?

Surrender is an ugly word for an American.

WTF? This seriously sounds like something that would come from Newsom, or Leland Yee, or countless other extreme liberal dems.

Do you know that guy who shot the three CHP officers was not a p**sed off member of society, but a member of an outlaw motorcycle club (OMG)? Not an outstanding member of society

Officer Andre Moye Jr. was murdered by a gang member who was prohibited from owning a firearm.

His convictions include disturbing the peace, vandalism, battery, stalking, unlawful possession of a firearm, assault with a deadly weapon and corporal injury on a spouse. He was convicted of burglary charges and attempted second-degree murder with a sentencing enhancement for use of a firearm in Los Angeles County in 1994. He was sentenced to 12 years in state prison, according to the California Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections, and was paroled in 2004.

...but the talking heads and politicians blame the gun...

Officer Moye...we have your watch.

You really didn't think this whole thing through... did you?

how bout a police escort

- criminals must be punished
- increase punishment, do not decrease it
- giving 'free passes' will simply embolden the criminal mind to think he can get away with it again, and take it further

- I personally want to see a 2-strikes and you're out law... 3 strikes it too lenient
