Other State Philly gun turn-in program announced

[awshoot]

Wasn't this tried in another city about 6-9 mo ago (in New Jersey maybe? I can't remember) and they got a total of 6 guns turned in. All of which were crud as I recall.

Is Philly paying money? If not, expect even fewer.

Turns out it was philly (dec 2019). 6 guns total turned in. So successful they are doing it again. It does go to show how some government leadership can be fixated on getting rid of guns and pay zero attention to effectiveness or. what might actually reduce violent crime.

Guess how many guns Philadelphia's gun "turn in" program produced

They sure do. She's quoted:
"Community members who submit firearms will not be asked to produce identification," Police Commissioner Danielle M. Outlaw said. "In addition, the submission of a firearm will not trigger an investigation of the person who relinquished it."

"we're the government we're here to help"

"Get those guns, run that room, see what's in there, find out what is being hidden in your house, take it out and turn it in," City Councilmember Cindy Bass said Thursday at a news conference outside Police Headquarters.

Translation: Check on your gang-banger kid. See what he's got in his room.

Philly leaders and police want residents to turn in their guns in a new campaign to combat violence

The gun turn-in program will take place at churches in East Germantown and Point Breeze from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be no questions asked, police said.

Even gangsters employ proper trigger finger discipline.

 

[Lesliet]

Well, except for that guy in the middle.

 

[sobo]

Well, except for that guy in the middle.

He's just gonna shoot a coupla blasts into the air. Creepy Joe said it was OK and a great way to scare off smarmy types, just like that guy...

Lots of Hi-Points I'm sure.

I just have to laugh and laugh. Nervous response to keep from getting all tense, and angry, and stuff.

I do that with my wife. She thinks I'm psychotic. I am.

 

[Phather]

They sure do. She's quoted:
"Community members who submit firearms will not be asked to produce identification," Police Commissioner Danielle M. Outlaw said. "In addition, the submission of a firearm will not trigger an investigation of the person who relinquished it."

I think what they failed to clarify is that they will not be investigating possession for those that solely turn the firearms in. If the firearm was used in a crime, well that's a different matter and will be investigated, starting with the surrenderee.

 

[JohnnyMac]

Why would they not offer a token $50 or something? I wouldn't even turn in my Lorcin .25 for free.

 

[arakboss]

They forgot to put the prices they are paying for the guns

 

[GWS]

They did "buybacks" all the time in the PRK.
Never once heard of a prosecution. The only positive I did hear of (If true) was they ran serial numbers for stolen guns and some folks got their property returned.
Otherwise lots of people got gift cards to Target and crime continued its upward spiral.

Not nearly enough face/neck/head tattoos... They're not the real deal eses.

 

[nwslopoke]

Does Outlaw stumble into these horrible situations or seek them out? She spent years in Oakland yet seemingly learned nothing.

If the city leadership and court system truly have no idea who are doing these shootings, they must be working for the same temp agency that sent the guards that watched Epstein's prison cell. It can't be a secret.

I like this part....
Separately on Thursday, U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain, the region's top federal prosecutor, took the opportunity after a sentencing hearing to urge city leaders "to speak with one voice in condemning violence" and not treat violent defendants "like they are somehow the victims in all of this."

I pulled this quote from the story too.
He GAVE them the answer! Or at least a strategy to implement and follow.

Never happen.

There is a small minority who commit violent crimes in any jurisdiction and the cops know who they are.

 

[Lesliet]

In that quote condemning "Violent defendants", did he mean the thugs who initiated the violence, or people who defended themselves against an attack? I'm never sure, anymore, unless I know the politics of the person, or of the place that published the story... the popular media bias tends to paint a lawful gun owner in a self defense incident as being the criminal.

 

[Hemlock]

At least they didn't call it a "buy back." Can't buy it back when you didn't own it to begin with!
