Another successful gun buyback in the Bronx.

 

NYPD Community Affairs, in partnership with Bronx District Attorney's Office, teamed up with the community for a Gun Buyback event.

 

The result? 165 guns removed from Bronx streets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Off the streets."  More like out of grandpa's closet.

I hate gun buy back programs myself. 

But I have a buddy who is a FFL 

with a gun shop .

So he goes to a lot of auctions .

He said he buys all kinds of junk guns at auctions for 20 to 25 each .

He saves them all up in the basement of his shop , until they have the gun buy back programs every year or two .

And He gets like 150 to 185 a gun and then he takes them all in .

No question asked and they take all his junk at a good price .

Wow all the criminals turned in their guns, amazing! 🙄

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

165 guns (some I'd like for my meager collection) turned in, out of a city with how many million people?  I'd venture a guess that the poorest street gang in NYC has many times more guns than that just laying around......and the politicians are telling an ignorant public what a big success it was.

 

What success I see here is the fact that the  lefty anti-everything I believe in fools are so stupid as to believe this hogwash, and are actually bragging about it to the public.

 

This is a proof that this thing is now, always has been, and will always be a totally embarrassing failure.

I'd venture to say that most of these guns were inherited from Dad or Grandpa by some left-wing liberal who doesn't know what to do with it.  Scared one of their feral children will get hold of it and end up in prison.  Probably never fired a gun in their life and have no place available to do so.  Getting rid of the gun is not near as valuable to society as getting the gun away from that situation.   I don't have a problem with gun buyback programs as long as tax dollars aren't used to fund it.  I have an evil junk gun that is waiting for a gun buyback program in my area.

I would never use one of these buy back programs, I feel like I’d be helping to encourage more of them! No thanks!

[Windy City Kid]

Thank god they got that '51 BP off the street!

Notice how they removed the dual purpose cylinder/hand grenade to fully deactivate it?

And all those high capacity top-break revolvers!

[Rye Miles #13621]

These buy back programs are a joke and I really wonder why they even do them. I guess it’s to make stupid people think they’re doing something about crime! You would think the everyday police would tell the higher ups that this is foolish! 
Most give gift cards not money around here. I do believe they buy the gift cards with tax money which really ticks me off!😡

They tried one of these in Dallas a few years ago.  Several people took cash and when up and down the line buying firearms from those wishing to turn them in.  Caused the anti-gun people to loudly protest the action but perfectly legal in TX. Lots of excellent firearms were saved from the chop saw while homemade mockups collected most of the gift cards the antis were handing out.

 

AFAIK there hasn't been another attempted gun byback since.

You just can't reload a revolver fast enough I guess.

[Eyesa Horg]

I have to wonder how many get a ride in an LEO's car to a new home.

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

Uh...just out of curiosity, do these things require all of the State, Federal and other governments paper work, background checks, waiting periods, etc. or are the cops and other government pukes breaking all the laws that they are pretending to uphold to legally transfer ownership of these horribly deadly weapons.....or is there a handy loophole that regular citizens don't have the right to?

 

I'd like to see someone investigated over this and, if laws are being broken by the various agencies of individuals, someone goes to jail.

That's why they call the second revolver a NY relaod.

I'd love to have had a crack at several of those revolvers!

I was thinking the same thing, looks like a Ruger and maybe a couple Smiths

[Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001]

a couple of good lookin' COLTs in there also 

[Pat Riot]

I have had a crappy Davis .38 derringer for over 25 years just hoping for a “buy back” to dump it for a couple hundred dollars.

[WD Farren]

I'm curious:  how many of those turned-in serial numbers were stolen?

[Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001]

How many are gonna go missing after the fact ? 

[Texas Maverick]

What is really scary about this buy back is if they think those guns are the problem then that dept really has some pretty stupid people running it. Most of those guns are junk and if they even fired couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Some aren't even complete. They need to get people more knowledgeable about firearms in their dept since those they have are from the liberals side that don't know anything about guns.

 

Granted there are a couple of revolvers that I would love to have but they are few and far between.
