there is a video there is your blood pressure can take watching it,   some very nice guns got handed in

BRISTOL TWP., Pa. - May 14, 2009 (WPVI) -- 45 guns were traded for giftcards in a 4 hour span.

There were no questions asked as people brought weapons to Bristol's town hall kicking off the township's groceries for guns buyback program that began Thursday morning.

"It keeps some of the guns off the street, rather than being out on the street where people can use them for different crimes," Officer Mark Buzby of the Bristol Township Police said.

People turned in revolvers, automatic and semi-automatic guns, shotguns, even vintage weapons like a WWII era German reuger.

n exchange for the guns, people got Pathmark grocery gift cards, $50 for revolvers, $75 for rifles and shotguns and $100 for automatic weapons.

86-year-old Phil Koons got $150 in grocery cards for two .38 specials he purchased years ago to protect the tire business he retired from in 1999.

"I don't want it to get into the wrong hands, that's the main thing; as long as I know it's in the bucket, I know it's safe," Koons said.

The guns are secured; they'll be traced for crimes and destroyed.

Philadelphia Park provided a $20,000 grant for this program.

Bristol will continue the program every Tuesday and Thursday until the end of year or until the grant runs out.

What a waste!!! Talked to a guy the other day who handles supplies up at near by former Air Force Base. They have 10 crates of old Smith and Wesson Revolvers that they are going to destroy. Too bad the government does not sell them to make some money back!!! Reckon that would make sense.

Wasn't that nine, or excuse me, eight crates? Where can I get mine?

We had one of these in Los Angeles last week. They had over 1700 guns turned in with no questions asked. These guns are going to be melted down

Well, I can absolutely guarantee that no one turned in ANY gun that they in any way wanted. On the other hand, I'd bet there were quite a few guns with histories that have been disposed of. The idea that Mayor Villaraigosa other city government officials are allowing potential evidence to be destroyed in the name of making the streets safer is criminal. The Mayor et al should be prosecuted for destruction of evidence.

WEAPONS OF WAR WITH NO OTHER USE?!?!?!?

No one else ever use a grenade launcher to take a deer? That thing is already field dressed and ready for the freezer after a hit with one.

hope you guys and gals done blow a blood vessel 

BTW, I think my right index finger is now bleeding... Damn blood vessels blowing up like that.

The stupidity in the media and sheeple will be the absolute death of me. My obit will read: "...died from an aneurysm caused by an overload of moronic media and government control..."

I think the other way around would be more effective. I'd happily donate a case of canned goods for a rifle, (already have a pistol and shotgun   )

You know Tom, even you can have stroke of genuis now and again. Think about the headline: NRA sponsored gun buy back for groceries. Weapons taken off the street and given to lawful gun owners via raffle to those who participated. We should organize this, preferably in Pelosi's or MaCarthy's district.
