We should have done what people did in the other state, set up a table and offer money for first pickings! Great! $750 FOR A RIFLE OR SHOTGUN! Run down to the GS, buy a cheap shotgun or rifle and turn it in, why didn't I know this earlier.

 

[ColdDayInHell]

Holy revolvers!

Makes me cry too. I want a picking!

I think you may have misread

Residents received $50 cards for a working rifle, and $100 cards for working pistols.

Also, looks like a C02 pistol in the front right...only because it looks like it's got a thumb screw for the c02 cartridge on the bottom of the grip.

I think you missed an important point in the article where they gave out a $50 GIFT CARD for a working rifle and a $100 GIFT CARD for a working pistol.

Residents received $50 cards for a working rifle, and $100 cards for working pistols. In all, the city gave out $2,400 in gift cards for pistols that were turned in and $750 for rifles and shotguns that were turned in.

Is that a triple barreled derringer? Either way, there seems to be a few nice firearms in that lot.

 

[RHJJ]

A great way to get rid of a Para.

 

[Zappa]

Also turned in were hundreds of rounds of ammunition, including about 50 rounds of armor piercing bullets that police believe were from the 1960s and were made for a Russian pistol.

Let me guess, 7.62x25 Tokarev ????

“This program was 100 percent voluntary, no questions asked.

And in violation of how many state and federal laws ????

Its okay when the police do it, they're making Haverhill much safer from those evil guns that used to belong to those criminals who decided they better turn in their triple barrel derringer and turn their life around

I hope if any are found to be STOLEN, they are returned to their rightful owners...

More like a full on investigation, a revocation of your LTC and being proclaimed forever unsuitable

Oh, and how does it work now?
Media leaves, lights dim, Chief walks past table and picks what he wants for his personal collection, then Captains, Lt.s, Sgt.s then patrolmen...

they said they would be destroyed..

Holy crap, isn't that a Python in the lower right?

[Infinite Jester]

they said they would be destroyed..

 

[MichaelJR]

Anyone else see that colt....[sad2]

Blasphemy.




Next time we hear of such a thing, I think it's our civic duty to set up a stand out front and offer them more money for whatever they have.

 

[hankster]

Second from the lower right sure looks like a S&W Hand Ejector . Now that might just be a damn shame .

 

[RHJJ]

"Anyone else see that colt...."
Bet it wont be destroyed.

 

[dancha84]

i wonder if carrying a revolver affects your gangster rep

 

[Skeeter]

Anyone else see that colt....[sad2]

First one I saw on the table...I would have given the owner $75 for it

 

[HKdrummer]

oh come on we know any gun worth a shit is not getting destroyed, they're ending up in the personal collection of some officer.

 

[Royal]

"Having the armor piercing rounds turned in was worth it alone as these could be used to kill police officers,” training officer Scott Ziminski said."



Thank goodness those heat seeking killy armor piercing rounds are off the streets!

 

[Marcus5aurelius]

they said they would be destroyed..

Cops take whatever they want from the pile and sell them.

 

[Dr. CCW]

Great, not they have a nice selection of plant guns.
When are they going to have a knife buy back, prescription medication buy back, rope buy back, power tool buy back? The unimaginable can happen if a kid finds them too.

 

[Zappa]

Cops take whatever they want from the pile and sell them.

They run these "buyback" schemes when their supply of throwdown pieces runs low.

 

[edhead35]

Where is this rummage sale?

 

[Hikes]

As part of cost cutting measures, all guns will be sent to Mexican cartels for destruction.

 

[hankster]

Cops take whatever they want from the pile and sell them.

Let me know when the Hand Ejector goes on the block . Wouldn't mind grabbing it myself .
