Flag as Inappropriate Guns, Gift Cards, and a Missile Launcher

The mayor is an idiot Jeanne....we all know that.
This is a huge publicity stunt, and as a member of the media I am sure you can appreciate the value a simple mistake such as "Hey we had an RPG turned in" can have over "Yeah we had a plastic tubing piece of garbage training tool used by the Army and found in dumpsters all over JBLM turned in"...
Kind of makes a difference....

I thanked them by not purchasing anything from them this month. I decided to spend the time more wisely...cleaning and lubricating my guns.

Haha I know Steve! Isn't the receipt of stolen property a crime!? :) I think we need to start conducting citizen arrests!
Haha I know Kevin, I saw it on the news and just laughed...I bet Army CID will just laugh at SPD and say "Stop wasting our time losers"

I also have a large amount of hammers...I wonder if I am on a watch list because I have so many hammers....ya think?
Yes it would be receiving stolen property...if they don't return them they should be arrested.
Good question considering the cameras on the street to catch ddrivers breaking the law.
I just think it's soooo wonderful that criminals will have a safe method of disposing of murder weapons as well as stolen guns that aren't good as crime pieces. Way to go guys!
No, no, no. What you do is pay them a little more to turn them in to you instead then open a little gunshop after getting an FFL. This way the people that don't want them are rid of them, you bought your inventory cheaply and when you sell the guns you do it legally so it's a win win situation for everyone : )
Better than that. They are accessories to murder and other crimes where a criminal needs to be rid of a damning piece of evidence like a murder weapon or a stolen weapon used in crime
some criminals did - the ones who need to ge trid of a murder weapon.
Amazon just lost me as a customer,and I have been one of their most faithful customers. I am a Prime customer and even remodeled my bathroom with purchases made from Amazon and have recommended them to everybody in sight. Hell,I even buy my cereal and paper towels from them.
All that is over now that I know they have jumped on the anti-Second Amendment train. When I get my account paid off I'm done with them and am going to encourage everyone else I know to drop them,too. I don't support businesses that don't support the US Constitution and want to see any of my rights taken away.
Does anybody REALLY think buying guns from people who are willing to stand in line to sell them to the police for a fraction of what they are worth does anything to reduce crime? If you do,you are a fool.
It's nothing but a "feel good" event for the airheads that think "Gee,I'll turn in Dad's old WW-2 Army rifle,make me $100,and get to feel soooo "special" to boot!
For the cops it's a GREAT chance to steal unregistered weapons to keep as "drop pieces" that can't be traced to them if they are involved in a bad shooting and need to cover themselves,or just a way to make some extra money by selling them.
To the criminal class we call "politicians" it's a great way to get some free publicity if there are no babies around to kiss,and to the idiot leftists out there it's a way to condition the minds of the mindless to the idea that turning in and destroying guns is a good think that is their civic duty. The long run result of this is to train people to accept gun confiscations in the future.
I did. I closed my Prime account and told them I would never buy anything from them again.
Harry Piels...There is also ample evidence on Wikipedia that those same countries you speak of have a higher overall murder and crime rate than we do which only means if you want to kill you don't need a gun. Also there is ample evidence on the same site that many if not most countries in the middle east have a lower murder rate than the US and we know how strong their gun control is in countries like Libya, Egypt, Iraq and Palestine! Like someone else mentioned, check the stats for Switzerland where every citizen is required to serve in the military and keep their service weapon....a fully automatic rifle.
Remember the movie "Crockodile Dundee"? The real man that movie was based on was in fact a Crockodile hunter who lived miles from the closest city,and he was gunned down at a roadblock set up by the Australian police because he refused to turn his guns in,and had been vocal about never turning them in. He wasn't hurting anyone with them,he had never hurt anyone with them,and he needed them to live his normal life,but the police just couldn't allow a public figure known by everyone to get away with flaunting ignoring the law,so they went after him and ended up murdering him.
Yeah,he managed to kill one of them before he died.but it's a damn shame he didn't kill them all. Unlike THEM,HE wasn't bothering anyone.
Not much of a deep thinker,are you? What you have managed to do was the opposite of your intention. You just highlighted the FACT that it's not the guns that are evil,but the damn fool laws that ended up turning law-abiding innocent citizens into criminals because someone either braindead or with a anti-American agenda passed a damnfool law that made an inanimate object into a illegal object and made it's innocent owner into a instant criminal.
Yes,but the reality is NOTHING is a crime until a local DA declares it to be a crime and runs it past a grand jury.
Good luck at getting ANY local DA to start arresting the police chief that provides special police protection to the mayor and his or her mega-buck friends.
It's not supposed to be this way,but police departments are above the law. They just enforce them,they don't live by them.
Oh my god do liberals pander to criminals. No questions asked of the minorities
turning these in, god forbid. Now us "right wing, extremists", (white consevatives)
we will be "pathologized", then sent to the Gulag. (Ahem...correction, they will
try to send us to the gulag.) These guns were all most likely stolen. An AR-15 for $ 200 bucks ? In exchange for a gift card ? I can give you a better
grantdgreat
MAX STONE, YOU IDIOT. THE IDEA WAS THERE AND IT IS CORRECT. YOU ON THE OTHER HAND CANNOT PUT TWO WORDS TOGETHER, EXCEPT TO SAY SOMEONE mispelllled a wrd or 2. that is why I am afraid that idiots like you will try to control my rights under the constitution. How about this one brainiac, it says the president has to prove he is an american born person, when the hell are you going to say where is the proof this guy is from anywhere or did he go to school as a foreign student. but you mak a reply tht someone missspllled a word.
Try and stop a minute and think all you NRA rednecks. If these people place so little value of thier gun they probably did not know how to use it safely and effectively and would be killed by thier own gun if they ever pulled it out. it's not like Ted Nugent turned his in for the Amazon gift card. It's people that had guns that shouldn't have had them. Maybe we can go back to safe days of the old west when everyone was packing legally. That would just be great. Did you ever wonder why England had 9 murders from guns last year? Because there are not a bunch of legal guns to steal and shot people.
Lazrus...that sounds like a good thing. Paper towels and cereal.....and you have a gun too. OH GREAT> Little OCD going on maybe?
I think the basic question is, do we want to turn our nation into an armed camp where we solve our differences or work out our hostilities by killing each other? Maybe we are already there. I don't want to walk around my community being afraid that some neighbor will stick his gun in my back. For those of us who think that being civilized means using the power of the law and community services to resolve issues, the previous conversations are very disturbing.
GEEZ FRANK HUTCHINGS, did you forget to take your Lithium meds this week?
AND!!!!! Now the bad guys will be stealing more weapons so that they can make easy money!!!! Gun owners ...LOCK EM' UP!!!!
