for community members to turn in unwanted firearms to the Sacramento Police Department with no questions asked and no identification required.

This makes it real easy for the 'good stuff' to sorta 'disappear'.

Like any 'buy back' I'm sure there is some real junk turned in but I'll bet there are some pretty nice pieces that show up.

I'd love to be a 'fly on the wall' of wherever they end for whatever happens to them.

Wow.

 

[40Garand]

Wow.

I bet everybody that turned in guns showed up with masks on.

 

[Ruger Rich]

Thats what I was thinking. Some rare or uncommon pistols + WW2 firearms Im sure are in some of these trade ins. Little do those people know they are getting less than pennies on the dollar for gift cards only good for artificially inflated price spiked gas.

Cool, it is nice to know I can take the upcoming Jason Falla in Sac and afterwards I can trade my guns in for enough gas to get about a quarter of the way home.

Sounds like time to pick up a lotta pipe and 2x4 at Home Depot... lol

 

[FeralGSXR]

I bet 50% of the guns turned in were Hi-Points.

Who in their right mind would trade a gun for $50?

Who in their right mind would trade a gun for $50?

- A perp with a hot gun used to murder someone else. He could throw it in a river, or turn it in [no questions asked, no ID required] and get a $50 gas card for his getaway vehicle.

Those not in their right mind...
- someone that inherited a hunting rifle or shotgun, and is too clueless to sell on consignment at a pawn shop.
- some tweaker that thinks a $50 gas card is more useful than his non-functioning BB gun.

The ones who make a fake gun out of pipe and a 2X and hopefully it gets taken.

Mind blowing how stupid people are. I could see some young kid inheriting his grandads guns and trading them for gas cards

Or a bitter X wife who managed to get her husbands guns.

I would direct your attention to Post #8 in this thread. If gungrabbers wanna be fools... well, Fool & His Money time.

A $50 gas card? Why that's almost a half tank worth in today's dollars.
