Lib I know lost their fucking mind when I pointed that out. Criminal steals gun, commits crime with it, then sells it to the cops, who destroy the evidence.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
What I never understood about these is why don't the police departments auction off the guns that aren't stolen? As a taxpayer, how is it ok for me to not only be paying a cop to stand there at this buy back not out on the road and pay $100 for every gun turned in with no hope of any money? You can't tell me that there wouldn't be significant turn out for an event like that. That's the way it "Used" to be. That was back before guns were evil. Now administrators are paranoid if they auction a firearm, it may turn up used in the next Sandy Hook shooting somewhere. Heads would roll. Sucks, but it is what it is.

I suspect very few of the really valuable guns will actually end up being destroyed.  From the manual it looks like it's a Universal, so at least it's not USGI. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Perfect place where we could get a federal law to require them to record all serial numbers and do a search for stolen weapons with the requirement that they be returned to their rightful owners. Require that all the Make, Model, and Serial # of everything turned in be released for verification. kinda like whats already done
every firearm accepted or collected by the police in California is assigned its own tracking number and it's compared to nationwide theft records. Gun board people talking about police firearms record keeping requirements sound like the media talking about "assault weapons" the level of ignorance makes them look stupid, but its just ignorance. |

There is ALWAYS a Ruger pistol. It's like a rule or something.

Where are the rifles coming from? 2. Where the hell have the magazines gone? They're always missing. |

If I had to guess, those things are either coming out of Hollywood prop houses (they always seem to pop up in SoCal) or out of a gunstore that has already stripped them for any useful parts. The parts situation with the AP-74 has gotten extremely bad of late; it's generally worth it to buy a clunker gun just to strip it for parts. Magazines, especially the .32 ones, are very hard to come by. I have only one for my .22LR, and I shoot it very rarely for fear of breaking something irreplaceable. |

I always wonder how many are stolen.......... You would be surprised how many aren't. A buddy of mine is a cop and has told me many stories of little old ladies bringing her late husband's guns because she doesn't want them around the house anymore. I spoke to somebody once that mentioned she had a "pile of guns" that belonged to her late brother sitting in the corner of her garage. I offered to help her with valuing them and putting her in touch with dealers who wouldn't hose her on selling. She was terrified of the idea of them being in her house for some reason and just wanted them gone. I even offered to look at them and give her a price for me to buy them all (legally, transferred through an FFL of course). As far as I know she just turned them in to the cops.

Those "buybacks" provide a convenient way to cash in on STOLEN firearms. At taxpayer expense, so that the politicians can pretend they are helping, because of feelz The news said they run the serial numbers and if any are stolen they work to return them to the rightfull owners. If that is true it might be a win based on the cost paid to recover it for the owner. I'd like to see the follow up story. I doubt they do much of anything in that regard. It took lawyers and a lot of shit for my buddy to get his guns back after using one in self defense. His lawyer cost 3-4 times what the guns were worth, he got the runaround at every turn. But he has money and is stubborn as fuck, he finally had to call in a favor with a relative who is a DA to get them to get off their asses and return his property to me. What is going to be really sad is the Aussie style gun pile in 3-5 years when California decides we can no longer have handguns or any semi auto rifles (that we are supposed to register this year). It is coming..... |

There was a guy on this forum that put himself through college with gun buybacks. He'd spend all year gathering up as many lorcins, hi-point, clarke, davis and any other cheap pistols as he could get his hands on and then go sell them all at one of these for a profit.

That's my guess. I had one as a first .22lr, at least I think I did. It was either that or the Squires Bingham model. Reason I can't remember is it was a looong time ago, I was 12 so it would have been 1979, and the gun only lasted about three weeks before the bolt fell apart. Took it back to Western Auto and got a Ruger 10/22.

I wanted one, but Western Auto beside my dad's store didn't have them, and had the Squires Bingham, which had wood furniture painted black, and the fore end was squared off. It was junk. The Armi guns were much nicer. |

in the '60s, before any of this gun buy back BS, the NYPD used to do a photo op of all the guns they confiscated that year. I remember a pic of a barge loaded with guns being driven out into the bay. Even as a kid I was profoundly sad. Mausers, Lugers,...you name it and they were just dropping them into the salt water. Broke my heart.

I always wonder how many come out of the evidence locker for a photo op. A brand new CMMG? Yeah I'm sure somebody bought that then turned it over for $100 gift card. Also the always present Tech 9s, Macs and AKs. My thought exactly, along with how many of these bump off the back of the truck on the crusher. |

I like the condition 1 1911. Who thought that was a good idea? I wonder if they even checked for ammo? I wonder how many made it into the personal collection of someone working the "buyback"? Oh, wait, that question was asked in the link.

Good possibility-I do know one buyback that received several of them said they were used in The Professional. I had one for a year with a broken extractor. Gave up searching for a part after that and sold it to a friend who ended up cobbling it together with a modified extractor from some other gun. It never did work quite right. When one of his other friends offered him a Ruger 77/22 in trade he took it and never looked back. The other guy had bought the Ruger new so he knew what they were worth, he just had to have the jager(that one was the AP15). |

This has to be staged!!!
27 years as a LEO , took / saw hundreds of "street" guns and never saw a group of higher end guns like that. 
99 percent are Fudd guns and yes , many are found to be stolen during post seizure investigation. Lots of crap pistols and 12 gauge shotguns. |
