Man unloads 58 guns at Compton buyback

[twyacht]

Maybe when they run the numbers on the guns, some, rightful owners that were broken into and had their guns stolen, returned to them. Wishful thinking but one never knows.

He can't get arrested for having I'm sure what was stolen property, but hey it's Compton...you can get another gun in 5 minutes for $100.

and yes, I'll take horny college girls for $1000, Alex....

Most of the gun exchange stories include that the guns will be checked to see if they match a crime (must fire and compare bullets) and if they are stolen.  If they are stolen the original owner can claim them.  Anything not determined to be stolen or used in a crime is then destroyed ... What a waste of guns

 My guess is that he did not buy any of those guns, some relative has suffered a terrible loss at the hands of a liberal do gooder family member. Or the widow of a shooter just got hosed out of a lot of money.

What empowers LEOs to grant immunity to law breakers in order to stage a PR event?   It would seem to me that in most states a "no questions asked" buy back program would require a specific exemption by the legislative branch.  

Yeah, it's an "end justifies means" event.

Samn good question - are LEOs exempt from running NCIS checks? Otherwise I would think it is an illegal transfer of a firearm.

All damn good questions.

I would think that someone would have to approve the event..... perhaps it falls on the legislative branch and there is some specific law that allows it or perhaps a district attorney has to sign off on it. I would like to see this persued further.

So...how about me as a private citizen offering say...$125 for "assault weapons", $100 for long gun centerfires with scopes, $75 for long gun centerfires without scopes, $75 for polymer pistols with lasers and $50 for any other pistol and $50 for rimfires.  I can't offer immunity, but I can say that I will follow all laws, rules and file all necessary papework (none..just a red herring) for a legal transfer for citizens of my state for say...$2,000 total pie.

I am not doing this as a business and simply want to pick up guns legally and cheap.

Legal...not legal...whaddya' think?  I think legal as long as not a business. 

I also film all the people and the transfer and keep it in the safe along with that guns serial numbers.

If you have a gun safe to keep them in, then you could also make the case that you are "getting them off the street", and thus get govt funding for your "buyback".

We talked about that before. Set up a table across the street and offer double what the "buy back" was. If it was a good gun, buy it. If it was a POS, send it over to the other guys.

Private sale regulations (if any ) would apply. BUYING has nothing to do with a business so no ATF jurisdiction.
