Police Buyback Turns into Makeshift Gunshow

It is the tube for a Stinger anti-aircraft missile. Some of the components are missing. If the missile is actually in the tube, the cops better find out where the hell that came from.

Unless you go through an FFL it could get you in serious poo to do a person to person in any state you are nonresident. Just food for thought

Very nice. I hate seeing pictures of some of the sweet guns clueless widows turn in that their husbands collected.

It's actually an earlier Redeye missile, minus the firing grip. I've fired both the Redeye & Stinger.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification.

Another problem with these buy back programs is that police often offer a "no questions asked" amnesty policy. I don't know how legal it is for them to offer that, but I've seen that mentioned numerous times in gun by back articles. Did the article say if the police allowed themselves to ask about it?

Personally I think any amnesty program for gun buy backs is a horrible idea. Think how many crimes will go unresolved because criminals were able to ditch their weapons by simply turning them into the police.

And getting paid to do it!

As he walks out of view and immediately begins running prints and serial numbers as well as reviewing the tape of who turned it in. Gator don't play no ****!!

My question is where did the $80k to pay for the gift cards come from? Okay thats rhetorical but still, I'd be pissed if my tax dollars were going to this kind of sham.

Its sad for me to see punks selling some of their family heirlooms for gift card. I'm sure their grandfather or father never thought this is what would happen to them when they left their guns to these kids.
