L.A. County Sheriff's Department plans 'Gifts for Guns' buyback program Monday


 
Less than a month after the Los Angeles Police Department collected 2,037 weapons during a daylong buyback event, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is launching its annual “Gifts for Guns” program Monday.

Sheriff's deputies will be on hand in the parking lot of a Ralphs supermarket at 280 E. Compton Blvd. in Compton from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., exchanging weapons for gift cards.

“Anybody can go into any patrol station and anonymously donate their gun,” said sheriff's spokeswoman Nicole Nishida. “But this gives them the opportunity to do that and receive some money.”

Weapons that have not been stolen are to be melted down and molded into rebar, Nishida said. The process is common among guns collected from buyback programs and department confiscations, Nishida said.

This my friends is why they will not need to confiscate guns now, they will guilt people and bribe them into willingly turning in their guns. Then when they figure out they are out of lemmings then they will focus on ways to make it harder for the rest of us to own our guns until it becomes such a hassle that no one will be able to comply with the law. Shortly after they will finally sign into law the gun bans they want so badly.

I doubt there will be a dip in violence.

In fact, I expect an increase in gun thefts just prior.

Can we make some cheap zip guns and trade them in?

And during this latest buyback, some smartass decided to sell them a used AT-4 tube.

That thing was about as dangerous as a cardboard tube, which is basically all it was at that point.

Yet to listen to them, you'd think the Sheriff and Mayor MecHa were doing God's work getting rocket launchers out of the hands of, well, anybody.

Dumbasses.
