Gun buyback prize

You're not selling it though, you're turning it into the police.

If it's truly turned into the police dept, doesn't it become an asset of the city and is required to be sold?

They can sell it or keep it.

How many of the "assault weapons" have "police inventory" stamped on the side?

Some do, depending on the jurisdiction. My bother in law is a captain at a department up north and he told me that after Sand Hook, a resident came to the department and turned in several rifles that belonged to her late husband. The Mini 14 went into the armory, and the Whetherby went to the local gun shop. The owner gave the department credit for ammo. I did an internship with the Kalamazoo County sheriffs department in 1998 and upon getting a tour of their armory they had several random ARs that were seized and moved into inventory. They also had a Thompson, which was simply bad ass. My mentor there told me the department had that in their inventory for ages.

That's not what JDeko was talking about. He is talking about how many were fake turn-ins just to look good for the cameras.

Duh...I was thinking the "police inventory" stamping came after it was turned in. I am so smart..SMRT.

They can sell it or keep it.

But, can they destroy it?

[SteveS]

But, can they destroy it?

Short answer...yes.

How many were stolen the night before just to get some cash for the next day???

This is my question.... crack heads gonna crack head...



Anyone notice they bought back 187 guns? I thought that was ironic.
