Yesterday's LAPD gun buyback was so successful that two-hour waits and gift-card shortages were reported.
The department says it picked up 75 assault weapons as part of its no-questions-asked effort that saw $100 dollar cards handed out for handguns and long guns and $200 for the kind of rifle used in the Newtown tragedy.
The LAPD says 901 handguns, 698 rifles, 363 shotguns will also be destroyed.
Good stats. But this is the one that gut us saying WTF:
Cops picked up two -- count 'em two -- rocket launchers (!) (and not one, as other outlets are reporting), an LAPD official with close knowledge of the program told us.
Holy hell why do people on our streets have military grade rocket launchers?

I wouldn't do that if I lived there.

i thought that i read weapon sales have soared since recent incidents. maybe people are just turning in their old shit to get some cash for it to fund newer better weapons?

I'm calling bullshit. Rocket launchers are illegal and nobody would ever break the law to obtain a weapon like that.

I see what you did there, cone head.
You want someone to respond with, "of course someone would break the law to obtain a rocket launcher. People break laws all the time." So then you could respond with, "exactly. So even if you ban guns, people will still break the law to obtain them. So why ban them?"
Im onto you, cone head ::) ::)
-
No questions asked. lol
I bet all of these are stolen or used in a crime. Nobody would go out and legally buy an ak47 and give it to the police for $200

They have the same shit here in Chicago. Most of the guns turned in have serial numbers removed with a grinder (which is a felony with 10 years jail time) and are usually turned in by crackheads and the like to get their $100 gift card.
I have a buddy who last year turned in a few suuuuper fucked up revolvers that were rusted and seized up that weren't even worth scrap metal to get the gift cards hahaha.
But yes, no normal law abiding gun owner who spends $1000 on a hunting rifle or few hundred bucks on a gun will turn it in for a shitty $100 gift card.

Also, who needs a rocket launcher if you can hurdle an 800lbs tire towards criminals. :)

They are/were real rocket launcher tubes, but they're worthless now for the most part. They are single shot, non-reloadable and it's already been used.
These were probably used up in training, and someone brought the tube home. Or the discarded tube could've been sold for surplus. It was popular years ago to turn them into lamps, or use them as decorations in bars, basements, game rooms, etc......

oh brother LAPD ::) ::)

A man with a gun is super tough, that's all I know.
Tell me what model you bought and I'm about to get super impressed.
Not every man can walk in a store and buy a gun. Takes a special kind of breed.

Didn't know Tom Selleck was working for the LAPD. I guess since Magnum P.I., things haven't been very good to old Thomas Magnum.

Sadly, it won't make a difference. The guns turned into these things usually fall into a few categories -
1 - Broken stuff that can't be offloaded anywhere else. Lots of gun folks use these things to get rid of parts guns.
2 - Stolen firearms.
3 - Angry ex's.
4 - Old people that die, and the family doesn't know what to do with dad's old gun.
-
Fuck this shit, I'm starting an armory.
-
I have been to gun shows where you can buy old shit ass rifles for like $59.00.
Someone could make good coin for a few hours. Go buy 10 of these rifles, find a place offering $200 buyback and sell it to the city.
LOL.

There's a gun show this weekend here in Vegas and I'm going. We have em here all the time. This gun issue is very near and dear to me and it should be to all Americans. I don't think these people that are against it realize the damage they're doing. Yes, close the loop holes that's fine. Other than that, they need to fuck the hell off.

In all seriousness -
I dont see how a law abiding black person could possibly be for gun control given our history. Were I black, and assuming law abiding of course, I would be armed to the fucking teeth just in case.

these people turning in their guns are all programmed, the programming and propaganda of the media their mind cant resist, so they do what they are told via the tv and media, social media, someone who thinks in the 5th dimension of their brain, this is clear cut as to whats really goin on, any american giving up their right to own a firearm and have guns is not american, they have no appreciation for freedom, the reality of government illuminati, and they are a threat to real americans rights and freedoms

There is NO ' gun show loop hole ' another myth people keep repeating
Gun show ' loop hole ' is a private transaction without a back ground check , I've done multiple ones as long as the other person has a VALID license to carry firearms you can meet and do a transaction , which in my state is a FA10 form that has to be filled out by both parties and mailed to the state letting them know a transaction took place.
People want to ban these private transactions and force people to go to a dealer who can run a NICS check and do the paper work for a fee of $25 to $50 per transaction. Who the fuck are they say you can't sell your privately owned product? Their claim is that ANYONE can buy a gun without a back ground check , not accurate and if anyone would sell to anyone without a valid firearms license they become a criminal
In my state you can only do 4 personal transactions per year the rest must go through a dealer.

I was in an antique store last summer where a guy was selling an umbrella vase holding four or five rusty old rifles for like $120.

I'm not even factoring in the pedo-accusations because I don't know if any of that is true or not. But, a few minutes ago, I glanced the last five or so posts in his history; they are all pure shit, and are in perfect line with other posts of his I occasionally bother to read.

Statistically this didn't happen. Disarmament is impossible in the USA right? It's against the constitution. And the constitution is infallible and unchangable.

I love when foreigners weigh in with their opinions on U.S. policies and issues.
You're trying to make a point and failed. This is not disarmament; it's a police department offering money (gift cards) to people in exchange for their guns.
It's a case of local government issuing monetary incentive to people who CHOOSE to partake in the program. It is NOT a forceful and/or depriving act.
-
99% of these guns turned in are inoperable pieces of crap. It isn't really doing anything but wasting tax dollars and making a feel good story.

Lol, that At4 tube the guy is holding like he just took a rocket launcher out of the publics hands... In reality the government just bought a worthless hunk of fiberglass.
Great success.

soon it will be guns for food stamps....and the poor will continue be suckered. Just like gold confiscation in '33 the upper class will have the ability to hide or send their valuables overseas, the poor will continue to be suckered.
Welcome to America...

100% truth. keep spreading the word I enjoy reading it.

Around here when the police confiscate firearms from felons or those associated with criminal activity, the guns serial numbers are checked and if they weapons are clean [not stolen etc.] the firearms are then sold back to the public at the sheriffs auction. The money is usually used to fund projects to help kids or other charitable work.
win win.
