So I went to 7eleven after work and I see a flyer on the window for Middlesex Gun Surrender Program.. like are you shitting me?!?! U only get $80 for a handgun and 150 for Assault Weapon! I tell you what, I'm sitting on 2 permits at the moment. Let the state buy the guns at 80 -150 and I will buy it from them for double what they paid.. we both win. they end up making money and giving the firearms a proper, responsible, loving home. WIsh there was a number to call and put that offer on the table. I can wait a month while they clear up the paper work.

A mosin is an assault weapon right?

Myself and another forum member went to a buy back program and stood outside making offers to buy the guns before the program for a mere 5 dollars more. not only were people willing to sell to complete strangers, but the program (police and officials) did not do anyhting about it. We were in no way shape or form gonna buy those guns but we wanted to see what was up with that....

What kind of guns were people selling?

would they even allow it? would be sweet if they did.

can u imagine buying cheap mosins and making 40-60 profit on em by "surrendering" them lol

I would still feel bad for ruining a perfectly good mosin.

PROSECUTOR'S "GUNS FOR CASH” PROGRAM VIOLATES NJ GUN LAWS, HELPS CRIMINALS

A program run by the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office to pay cash for anonymously-surrendered guns appears to violate New Jersey gun laws and help violent criminals escape prosecution and get rid of evidence.

A press release announcing the "Guns-for-Cash" program, scheduled for December 2-3, 2005 solicits the anonymous turn-in of guns and claims that transportation of firearms to the surrender location without a permit is allowed. But under New Jersey law, neither the anonymous surrender of firearms, nor the receipt of surrendered firearms by a prosecutor's office, is authorized. Also, there is no transportation exemption for such a surrender scheme.

"Under Monmouth County's program, criminals no longer need to fear being caught with illegal guns used in crimes, which would otherwise carry severe penalties,” said Scott Bach, President of the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. "No longer in jeopardy, criminals can now safely and anonymously surrender their contraband to the Prosecutor's Office and no one will ever be the wiser. Criminals are then rewarded with a cash bonus for anonymously disposing of evidence that might otherwise incriminate them and solve crimes.”

New Jersey law provides for the voluntary surrender of firearms only when the person giving up the firearms first gives written notice to the chief of police where he resides or the state police superintendent. Anonymous surrender is simply not authorized. The same law authorizes only the local police chief or the state police superintendent to receive surrendered guns. A prosecutor's office is not authorized under the statute to receive surrendered firearms. (See N.J.S.A. § 2C:39-12.)

The immunity granted under New Jersey's voluntary surrender law is limited to unlawful possession only and nothing more. By allowing for anonymous surrender, the Monmouth County program effectively creates de facto immunity far beyond this.

The purchase of firearms in New Jersey is strictly prohibited except for licensed dealers and individuals with a handgun purchase permit or firearms ID card. All gun sales are recorded and include the name and address of the seller. A prosecutor's office is not authorized under the statute to purchase firearms, no less from anonymous sellers. The payment of cash for firearms by anyone other than a licensed dealer or a permit/ID cardholder is a crime. N.J.S.A § 2C:58-3(a) and (b).

"New Jersey is aggressive in enforcing its strict gun laws against law abiding citizens,” said Bach. "But prosecutors themselves need to follow the law. However well intentioned, this "guns-for-cash" program subverts the intent of the legislature and does a disservice to the public in the fight against violent criminals, who need to be taken off the streets instead of being given a free pass.”

so lets see, for the 2 days that there doing this illegal gun buy back program , i still have to meet all of new jerseys strict gun laws ,, and there allowing others to do this with out obeying the laws . nice state we live in.

A BB pistol is a handgun in NJ, correct? Buy 10 of them in PA and bring them to the gun buy back still in the plastic display box.

 

Here is one better. Buy 10 cheap-a** semi-auto BB rifles that hold more than 15 rounds and look like P90s or M16s. $150 a piece!!!

I have heard of people in PA actually scooping them up and buying them for real. There is no paperwork for FTF long guns in PA. I think I know one guy that bought a nice hunting rifle that way, but I don't remember for certain. The other examples I am familiar with were internet discussion so who knows for sure.

Maybe I'm being a stick in the mud. But please remember that if you utilize these "incentives", you are justifying their existence by inflating the numbers. For a few bucks profit? I'll pass...

 

I understand the aim is not at criminals, but they can use the service too. The idea of providing an outlet (and a few bucks cash) for a criminal to dispose of a weapon used in a crime, using taxpayer money, doesn't jibe well with me.

I might go there to see what people have..... and maybe pick up something nice

These programs are completely illegal. As usual, NJ decides who and when they feel like enforcing the law. They allow people to clearly break the law if it serves their purposes, then drop the hammer on anyone who isn't a good sheep.

 

I like the idea of poaching good deals outside in the parking lot.

I either want to laugh or cry when I look at the questions and answers at the bottom. #3 i'm a good citizen, but someone might commit a crime, like burglary and steal my guns, so I should just turn them in for a little cash. Morons!

There's nothing they can do to stop you from doing FTF longun transactions in the parking lot as long as buyer and seller have FIDs...

 

I like the BB gun idea, walmart sells cheapo corssmans from <$30

Anyone who owns a BMW M3, please turn it in to me ASAP. Some criminal may steal it from you, and use it in a dangerous high speed chase, or even perhaps to act as a getaway car in a vicious robbery. I will make sure this car can never hurt anyone ever.

What if somebody lodged a complaint with the Middlesex County Executive's Office? Just wonderin'

I was about to say, if you don't have an FID, I don't see how you can legally transport a rifle there. If you have a handgun, you are violating the law as soon as you step out the door.

It wont be your day when an undercover ATF bust you trying to buy, end up in jail for months, & Chris Christie finally pardons you....

What kind of guns were people selling?

 

Most of what ive seen are junk....im waiting for the local pd where i live to do theirs..i have a pot-metal jam-o-matic .22 that i bought for around $100 20-odd years ago i want to dump, and a cap and ball revolver that didnt get cleaned properly and had one of the nipple holes rust out..both are worthless, but at least i can recoup some ammo/component money out of them.

Do you know if they will take BB pistols? And what would happen if you showed up with like 5 or 10 of them, would they think you are trying to scam them and arrest you or give you the money?

Arrest you for what? Buy them legally and transport them legally.

Arrest you for what? Buy them legally and transport them legally.

 

There is no way you can transport handguns legally to a church in Middlesex without an NJ license to carry a handgun. You can't "transport them legally" to your parents' house, how could you do it to a church in Middlesex?

 

The only way people can bring handguns there is because the police are deciding to turn a blind eye to it for the purpose of the buyback. If they didn't want to extend that courtesy to you, they could arrest you for illegal possession of a handgun.

It wont be your day when an undercover ATF bust you trying to buy, end up in jail for months, & Chris Christie finally pardons you....

 

Ok..I'll play..what would ATF have to do with this????

Not a clue, and probably

Isn't it amazing that NJ can create its own rules as they see fit? I guess there's no law for the lawmakers.

So then how are they not going to arrest the people running it for transporting the guns from the church.

 

They cant just enforce it on you and not them. they can not on either of you but i assure you if it was one and not the other the SWHTF

Maybe I can find that Uzi I've been looking for.

why doesn't someone call up middlesex county and tell them what there doing is illegal, and see what they say.

Better yet, call Putin and complain about what he is doing.
