Did anyone else see this story on the news last night? There was a gun turn in around here and so many people came to give their guns away that they had to start turning people away because they could not take anymore! I for one would have taken them had I been there.
This is the link to the story before it actually happened: http://www.kptv.com/station/17809966/detail.html |

I saw it on the 10:00 o'clock news and was amazed at how many people were actually willing to part with their guns. All I could think was "I bet every one of those people vote Obama". |

All I could think was "I bet every one of those people vote Obama". or they had POS gun that weren't worth $75 These are from a Springfield Ill buy back in 2007 
Mayor Tim Davlin has declared the city’s first ever gun buy back program to be a tremendous success. Preliminary figures indicate 519 weapons were turned in to the Springfield Police Department between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. today. Final figures will be available, once all the official paperwork is tabulated and processed. “This far exceeded our wildest expectations,” said Mayor Davlin. “When we planned the buy back we had no idea how many guns we would get off the street. We had hoped for as many as 100. But, collecting over 500 firearms today has is absolutely tremendous.” Early on, people were given $100 gift cards for each gun they turned in. But once the gift cards were handed out, receipts were given which will function as IOUs for individuals to receive gift cards in the near future. Sure, there are a few worhtwhile pieces in those piles but the vast majority are crap. |

we raise awareness of the risks and responsibilities of gun ownership, including the importance of safe storage.
Some people actually believe this is their real goal. If it were not for fear of getting a bunch of stolen guns I would try running gun turn it ads in the paper. Most of what you would get would be junk, but there are some nice guns out there getting turned in. |

It is an effort to slowly, but surely get people accustomed to turning in guns. It is an effort to numb society for future gun turn-ins that are far more forcible.
In all actuality it is not criminals or “gun owners” turning in guns. In actuality, it widows and children getting rid of dad/grandpa’s guns |

I wonder if they bother to check if the guns that are handed in are stolen or not, or if they just destroy them even if they have no right to do it...... I say this because one of their reasons being if the gun was left behind by someone, sounds like they don't give a shit......
oh yea and that reporter looks like a lesbian. T |

I would want to watch them if they looked like in porn, in reality about 99.9% of the time they are hideous and no guy would touch them, so they became lesbian. T |

So can we ourselves sponsor a "gun turn in" Just got to get rid of the junk, and see what happens, I remeber hearing of the guy that brought an RPG to a Gun and weapon turn in a few years back.
Its a shame someone threw away one of the NAA 22 magnums in the photo above. |
