Super short summary, guy sells a gun to a buyback in chicago, and 8 years later it turns up next to a guy the police shot who happens to be a felon. 

So.. that raises the question are they selling the guns to felons, or are they pocketing them and planting them on people they murder? 

 

damn.  someones got some explaining to do 

Come on...does it really surprise anyone that not all those guns end up in the shredder?

Interesting question - when you turn a gun in at a buyback, do you get a receipt?

Usually, yes. 

Not from the one in South Camden a few years ago. No receipt, just some cash.

All roads lead back to leftists.   I am surprised they haven't accused Trump for that.

That's on the list after after bribery fails.

This is a Win-Win-Win-Win situation.

Dead gang-banger. Possibly corrupt cop should be dealt with. Judge's former gun used in (at least one) crime. Bad press for buy-backs.

The only real negative I see is the wasted taxpayers money.

You will never hear about this again 

Fwiw, the article is from a few days ago but the incident being described (finding the gun) was in 2012.
