just wish we had a chance to legally buy em for as cheap as they are. wonder if the cops working it get the option after the guns background has been checked.

Wonder if cops can ever legally keep really nice confiscated guns or do they all end up in the melting pot? For instance, guns from drug dealer busts.

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

 

I don't think the seller needs to have an FID. If they do that will probably eliminate 98% of the folks showing up to turn in guns.

Despite the rumors, winks, and other stupidity, the answer is no, we dont..period.

Couldn't an FFL do the same thing? What makes it illegal about the church doing it? No FID, NCIS, or anything like that?

No they can't, Yes sometimes they do.

Confirmed.. That's a big no go. All get melted. So sad.

just one question for you.. did you light that piece of shit on fire when you were done taking the picture?

Criminals and gang bangers participate at these functions every year out of sheer remorse.

Since the firearms are to be dropped off at a church this particular program appears to have the backing of "God" so federal ,state, and local laws do not apply.

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

 

Because there's such a shortage of them. XD

 

I'll make some "rifles" out of pipes and wood, say they're assault muskets.

 

The irony of this, the percussion cap was invented by a Scottish preacher.

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.

 

The type of firearms that will be turned in are essentially hand grenades. I do not think you want to buy a hand grenade at any price.

just one question for you.. did you light that piece of shit on fire when you were done taking the picture?

 

There were 2 cops at the 7eleven at the time, I dont think they would have approved If i ripped the flyer down and burnt it, tho I was very verbal about it and just glad they didn't question me on my protest and shock of this.

 

and that would i do with a hand grenade?

I wonder if there is a school at that church ("behind the school")? Remember.... Clinton Happens.

 

And you better be careful, Bloomberg will be watching you.

 

Still, I'd go get a lock for my shed.

Buying 10 mosin's and then the authorities question you for why you purchased so many "assault weapons" and you simply say I am just trying to make some money off your gun turn in program. Someone should do this to show how stupid is program is and how it could just put money in peoples pockets, then get it shut down.

I'm REALLY considering going there now just to see what people are bringing in. Maybe it'll be some old ladies with their husband's old WWII Garand they don't know what to do with. I'd give her $200 for it.....

Because there's such a shortage of them. XD

 

That's what they said about WWII 1911s!

If there was a local one, I would trade in one of my NJ firearms. The .117 pellet rifle that turned into a firearm after I crossed the NJ boarder.

 

Then I would probably stalk out the place and solicit the non-sketchy people.

How do they plan on finding out if a gun is operable? Are they going to test fire each gun?

you shoulda made a sign that says i'll pay you more than these other guys for the guns, and put it right next to the other sign.

I wonder if there is a school at that church ("behind the school")?

 

Yes, the Sacred Heart Church is attached to the former Sacred Heart School which is now a Puerto Rican Action Board school, K-8 I believe, but I may only be K-5 currently.

"your assault weapon doesn't appear to be operable because it doesn't have a magazine, so we don't want it".

Hmmm.. time to start mass printing COE's...

If you ever do that, and get a Garand for $200, I'll gladly pay $250.

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....

 

Dont forget the guy that pulled out the .38 and waved it around right on the main street in jersey city

 

Good thing that was short lived lol
