This seriously pissed me off, saw it on the Code Red Facebook page. They were actually proud of what they'd done, which is condone gun theft by giving gift cards to those who turned guns in. According to them, they destroyed the guns without returning them to the rightful owners, in the case of obviously stolen guns. I will try and dig up some more info and pictures. For anyone who wants to check it out further it was in Miami.
I would think a manufacturer would be smarter than that. |

Link to their facebook
If you read Mr Vega's comments, he said they notify the owners of stolen guns but he "could not care less" what happens to the guns once they're turned in. Poor form in my estimation. |
|
If anything they should be giving out coupons for lower receivers or something.

Well, looks like someone from here already posted a comment to Facebook

See everyone, people are turning in their guns so that means no one needs them. Fuel for the antis. Code Red Firearms doesn't deserve the business of anyone that supports the second amendment.

I'd be pissed as fuck if someone stole my gun, the police were able to "recover it", and then they fucking crush it.
|

This guy obviously gets most of his business from Law Enforcement because his statement that he doesn't care if the original owners get their guns back tells you he doesn't care for Joe citizen gun owner. Sad when manufacturer's don't mind being seen as supporting Obama's policies.

The mayor therein the picture, Tomas Regalado, is a coalition member of Bloombergs anti gun campaign.

looks like he took the Page down another Wut? I was just on it. Either way... He looks like a shit bag! |

People want someone to boycott, this guy sounds like the perfect person.

Why don't gun-related companies (guns manu's, magazines, journalists, etc) learn their lessons? The civilian firearm industrial complex is powerful. It will tear you down as fast as it put you up. It's relentless and it never forgets.

This is the same mayor Seems like a poor business decision to me.
|

Code Brown. Blowing the mayor. Hard. May their Facebook account forever be arfcoms bitch...

Even better, Regalado said he plans to use the number of guns purchased in Miami’s buy-backs this month as a means to urge Congress to pass gun reforms.

this guy is a shithead. We need to do all we can to put him out of business. Apparently they run a gun range also? Time to show this asshole what kissing the gungrabbers asses will get you.

Wow. There is an 18 page thread in the Build forum of arfcom customers
|

Part of the idea of these things is for wives/girlfriends/babymammas to steal guns from members of their household and turn them in. They don't like the word "stolen," because they're facilitating theft by default.

I wonder how many murders will go unsolved thanks to these buybacks...
But, I guess in the minds of those running them... they are just inner-city folk who don't matter.... |
|
How can a buisness that produces ar15 lowers go and do something this bad for their own business? Definitely never getting any of my business.

I just can not wrap my head around this
why would a Gun Shop Owner / Ranger Owner even think that this would be a good idea |
