Gun buyback

[gandalf23]

https://www.sarcoinc.com/stoeger-luger-frame-with-barrel/ $20 each if you buy five. It's a real gun. Should be good for at least $50, if you mock up some parts. not like they are going to fire it to test it, might be able to get $150 for it.

Don't forget about FFL fees....

 

[gandalf23]

there is that. my friendly FFL charges $10 per item, but maybe he'd give a discount for a good cause? If not , guess it's a trip to home depot to make a pipe pistol then.

It was not that long ago, a journalist - an actual investigative reporter - did some research about buybacks in LA, I think it was. The reporter determined that some of the smarter than your average gangbangers would sell their junk guns and use the money from the buybacks to upgrade their arsenals.

I've read a couple of heartbreaking cases where an old widow showed up at these buybacks with her deceased husband's unregistered WWII bring-back. IIRC, one was a Stg. 44.

Hi Ben, Where would I go to read about this old widow who turned in her deceased husband's bringbacks? The Stg.44 kind of piques my interest. Thanx, Skip

Unregistered it's totally illegal to possess or sell.

Some years ago on another gun forum, a young lady joined up to gather some information about a gun she and her brother found in the attic of her grandparents home after he passed away.

I don't remember the exact model of firearm, but he had brought it back from Germany during WW2. She could not grasp the concept of the fact that unless it had been registered at some point in the past, that the firearm was illegal to possess and to sell.

To her it was an antique gun, and couldn't understand the ATF didn't see it the way she did.

I really have no idea. It's been so many years since I read about that case that I simply don't know.

There are a few WWII bring-backs found in attics and basements every year. Every year, bits of history go away.

I used to be in favor of another amnesty for WWII vets. I guess I still am but there are so few left, it's probably pointless. Another amnesty might help their grandchildren, though.

Of course, I also tend to think of another amnesty in political terms. In order to be able to accomplish such a major bit of feel-good benevolence for our few remaining WWII vets, the Hughes Amendment would have to cease to exist. That would be a nice side effect, don't you think?

time to dust off the printer and roll out a couple liberators for $150 a pop

 

[Big Green]

Did anyone go?

 

[Wudidiz]

No, but I had a dream (nightmare) where there was a row of widowers unknowingly turning in their deceased husbands Ed Browns and Wilson Combats.

Someone actually turned in a big box containing 62 of them.
If it was you, much respect.

 

[Coiled]

Did anyone go?

And set up a buy station?

Bueller, Bueller . . .

Exactly what is this "registration" thing we're talking about?

Edit to add: Are ya' talking about guns from outside the US coming to the US?

I went and had a box of printed pistols, but that wasn’t me. I didn’t think the turn out would be that large and got there promptly at 8. I was about a mile or more back in line and after an hour and a half of waiting, only moved up 2 blocks. Being in a supercharged V8 that was hogging down fuel lol, I decided to leave. On the way out I noticed were Scott St and N Mcgregor meet at the stop light, it was like two lines of gun buyback people merging in every time the light turned red. So I didn’t regret leaving. Talked to several guys walking down the sidewalk offering to buy guns. They said the cops were harassing them and making them go back to their vehicles.

Official oppression?

. . . and making them go back to their vehicles.

What law(s) was po po enforcing?

Yep, they weren’t breaking any laws but I watched the cop follow one of the guys all the back to his vehicle. I stopped him to see if he had any luck buying any guns and the cop stopped in the oncoming traffic lane holding up traffic till the guy started walking again then slowly followed.

2-mile long stretch of cars, massive turnout for Third Ward gun buyback event shocks city officials

The single line of cars stretched 2 miles down Scott Street, from Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church to Yellowstone Boulevard.

Who's going? It seems like some hardware store homemade guns could turn a bit of profit.

One Safe Houston

Go stand out there and offer $250 for good ones!

Wait a minute..... The POLICE--- who are charged with enforcing the LAW, are not going to arrest someone who turns in a fully automatic firearm. A firearm that is in violation Texas and Federal law unless the possesser has a Tax Stamp. That is not only criminal, it is unethical, stupid and dangerous. But then, look who is facilitating this mess.

The police not arresting someone for a law that is a gross infringement upon our rights... I'm OK with that.
