Fredericksburg Councilman Chuck Frye Jr. has lost friends to gun
violence so one of his first initiatives after taking office this summer
was to suggest a program to increase the safety of city residents.


                   
                   
               
                   
                   
As a result, the Fredericksburg Police Department
and Sheriff’s Office on Saturday will launch what appears to be the
state’s first gun give-back effort.


                   
                   
               
                   
                   
Local philanthropist Doris Buffett, who operates
the Sunshine Lady Foundation, is also participating by making a $100
donation to one of four local charities for every gun turned in.

The guns will be destroyed after 90 days.



I hope nobody's dumb enough to give their gun to the cops without any compensation! Also Fuck Warren Buffet's sister!

Ahh... So maybe the PD was just "following orders" and aren't run by a chicken shit left-wing CLEO.

But fuck that councilman.  Don't bring your personal objectives into a job where you represent your constituents.  If they ask for this, say so - but they haven't so go back to fucking work on shit that matters.

Here's the thing, People are to leave the guns in their trunks and allow the officers to go and remove the weapons themselves. I've thought about it myself, but we won't know who's actually there to turn in a gun, and what gun they're actually turning in until the cops already have possession.

Okay. How about standing on sidewalk at the entrance to the "turn-in" site with a sign that says:

DON'T GIVE YOUR GUNS AWAY.
I PAY CASH FOR GUNS.

VCDL had their injunction request turned down. Judge gave them 21 days (lol) to amend it.

So get your money ready for Saturday.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought they were giving guns back to law abiding citizens and members of the public militia. I guess I was wrong. That would be a great way to dispose of firearms confiscated from criminals.

Look into the old "Director of Civilian Marksmanship" program; the idea was for our own government to give civilians the "assault rifles" of the day and train them to use them.

They even used to have an M1 Carbine program for youth (born too late for that one).  Imagine, a government program to safely train kids with guns.

In the 80s, I was provided with Lake City Match 30-06 and one of my old club's National Match Garands for practice & match day.  

One of the "rapid fire" strings was a lot like a stage in modern 3gun rifle (complete with a speed reload on the clock). Again, the match ammo was free & the guns provided by .gov for our training needs.   Can you imagine a government-funded civilian program like that today?

Congress de-funded the DCM in the 90s, but could not eliminate it.  As far as military-issue guns and ammo, the DCM stopped with the Garands (amazingly they still have a few to sell).  Now though,  our surplus M1As (parts and all), ammunition, and even semi-auto pistols (1911, M9, M11) and rifles require demilitarization, or in some cases, complete mutilation - before being auctioned for profit.  How far we've slid.

I hope your prediction comes true.  Typically, the guns turned in are single barrel break action shotguns and beginner 22 rifles - exactly the sort of guns rarely used in crime.  But we all know that facts and logic are lost on anti-gun zealots who organize these foolish events.

Well, I was wrong on that point - they reported over 50 guns surrendered, and based on the number of cars that went by I have no doubt that's correct. Several people stopped and talked to us, and some people sold to us instead. One guy stopped on his way out and basically apologized for snubbing us - the guns he had were illegal SBSs, and we agreed we wanted no part of that.

There were several reporters on hand, both print and online. No TV stations showed up, but we did have a couple of political bloggers and such. I did my best to follow the reporters around and give them as much material as I could, focusing on the idea that it isn't appropriate for government to encourage people to disarm themselves.

Pics of the event:

SimonPhoto:  It looks like the Fredericksburg PD deleted your comments on their FB page.  You should get in touch with the VCDL as that was probably a violation of your constitutional right to free speech.  Specifically, governmental agencies, to include police/sheriff departments, cannot "moderate" posts on Facebook by deleting otherwise valid/non-offensive posts simply because they take a position contrary to that of the department.

I'm not seeing any that were deleted - shoot me a link in PM, perhaps?

There are two nearly identical posts from the 8th or so, maybe that's what you're seeing. One of them has me repeatedly questioning the legality of the event, the other doesn't. I thought they'd deleted my posts earlier, but I just had the wrong post :)

Also, there is an obvious point to make with them. Did THEY record the information on the people turning in the guns, check the serial numbers to see if they were stolen and, if so, question the person who turned them in and ensure the guns were returned to their rightful owners?

Again, EXCELLENT Job!

Thanks :)

I'm not really looking for attention with it, but I do want to represent us well.

They claimed to record no information about the owners. That obviously isn't objectively true, unless they've erased the recordings from every camera on the property. I find that to be quite unlikely.

They said that they would hold the firearms for 90 days before their destruction, and that if people thought they might want them back they should write down the serial numbers. From that I inferred that all that is needed to "recover" a firearm is the serial number. I'm considering filing an FOIA request to get the serial numbers and models of all the guns surrendered, and if I get that information before the 90 days is up, attempting to claim one of them. I don't expect to get it, but it would make obvious that at least some information about those people had been retained... otherwise, how would they know I wasn't the one who dropped it off?

In the end, they planned to take one of two courses of action on every gun they got: if the numbers don't come up as stolen, they're going to hold it for 90 days then destroy it. If the numbers do come up as stolen, they're going to return it. I don't believe they intend to contact or identify the person who surrendered it in either case.

Let me know if I can help in any way - I'll of course be following the Facebook group and the alert emails, but I'm not afraid to have my name attached to something, or to speak to whoever I can get to listen.

They've extended the "give back" as well, so if surrendering a firearm is required to gain standing, we have the opportunity to do that.

I've also got an idea of a legal technicality that they seem unlikely to catch before they destroy the guns. I've kept that to myself, but will be reaching out if they don't dot that particular "i".

Outstanding. I need to renew.

I reached out to my Delegate and Senator, as we should all do. The Delegate's rep got back to me:

Dear METT-T,

Thank you for reaching out to our office in regard to this matter.

The Delegate and I appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention so that he might have the opportunity to discuss it with his colleagues in the General Assembly. We will be sure to keep an eye out for any similar initiatives around the Commonwealth.

Again, thank you for sharing your concerns with our office. If we can ever be of any assistance, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,
Nick Blessing
Legislative Director
Delegate Michael Webert

Last year there were groups of about a dozen people, led by someone who had a prepared list of people to see and bills to talk about. You would be fine just showing up if you're not prepared.

I'm probably going to be bringing my 6-year-old this year. I think it'll be valuable for her to see how the political process works and to be around people who think the way we do.

Plus, who could turn down a GSL sticker from a cute little blonde girl that's giving them big blue doe-eyes?

Numbers are what are needed at this point.  Generally, there are several very well-spoken individuals who act as team leaders.  What is needed is for the politicians to see that person is accompanied by a LOT of people, plus, make the rally afterwards be too large to be characterized as trivial.

There was more Derp there that should be humanly possible.

No reckless discharge?
The gun simply 'misfired'?
