Bergen County gun buyback

[Parker 213]

These folks were so busy on Saturday that they were still set up when we entered the lobby of our church for 5:30PM Mass. They ran out of funds as early as Saturday afternoon, resorting to issuing IOU's. (Some of the stuff on that table I wouldn't label as old junk either.)

I read an article about this this morning and they said some people were surrendering inherited guns because they were "sitting around the house," etc. One guy allegedly sold a double-barreled shotgun he inherited from his grandfather from the late 1800s - early 1900s! If it's true and it was in remotely good shape... wouldn't that be potentially worth FAR more than whatever they were giving here?

 

And another thing... I wonder how many illegal guns they actually got instead of just getting the legal guns of lazy (potentially former) gun owners? My guess... I'd be able to count 'em on 1 hand.

 

And this is for our safety. Booooo.

If you peek closely in the milk crate, we know those S&W's and Colt sell for far more than the price they got for them. The pile of longarms has an M37, an 1100, a 9422 in there, and some Mauser's, etc. Longarms I believe fetched $80 or $100 apiece. I can only shake my head.

Such a stupid program. And most of the people are very naive.

Should standard media misinformation rules about weapons apply to the captions of those pics?

 

(Is it really an M16, not just an AR? Is it really a Tec-9... or an NJ legal clone?)

Has anyone tried to buy before people go in?

I assume that Sheriff Saudino is not pro-2A?

In The Record they said a few WW2 era lugers were surrendered. To bad the owners didn't know they could get 10x to 20x what the county was paying from a collector.

There was a big sign by the Bridgewater PD announcing a gun buy-back. Thought it was a stupid thing. Then again, most people are pretty stupid.

I heard the final tally was 55,000 rounds.

He ran saying he was. Not sure he could do anything though but collect them. The money comes from the prosecutors office.

Funny thing, to beat him in the next election, all you need to do is print out a million bumper stickers and place them EVERYWHERE!

Final tally -

I see a beautiful old Model 12 Winchester, a nice over/under, a couple of S&W wheelguns, a Colt, a Ruger...they all don't deserve to die...

 

I feel like Joe Biden, about to shed a tear...

They're running a buy back program in Garfield. Wonder how many idiots will show up. Also in that picture the cop is holding an Uzi and a Mac 9, my question is do you think they were actually turned in or are cops just showing them because people recognize them as dangerous movie weapons?

so were is all this money for these 'buybacks' coming from? two years ago Jersey City was screaming for funds, but they couldn't get any, and now NJ seems to have them every weekend.
