[QUOTE="Murph, post: 2086477, member: 8602"] For a different viewpoint I saw this [url]http://dcxposed.com/2013/01/27/seattle-gun-buyback-gets-jacked-turns-into-a-damn-gun-show-lol[/url] but I haven't heard of dcx so I can't make claims about their veracity. Same place has this similar story about an LA buyback [url]http://dcxposed.com/2013/01/06/lapd-gun-buy-back-rocket-launchers-are-harmless-hollow-tubes-busted/[/url] that also removed some 'dangerous' hollow tubes from fired single shot AT4 light anti-tank launchers from the streets of Los Angeles. My understanding was they use 'gift cards' as the 'reward' because the card usage could be tracked. But I can't find the article where I read that so I'm not %100??? By 11 a.m. Seattle police had collected 160 weapons, including three 12-gauge repeater shotguns, also known as Street Sweepers,[ooooh s, s, s, scaryeeeeeee. What no 'assault weapons'?] and an old rocket-launcher tube. Id prefer they wouldnt sell them, [Seattle Chief of Police] Diaz said of the people in line making deals with the gun buyers. [i]Translation: I prefer my cattle to be dehorned, makes them easier to control. [/i] Mayor Mike McGinn said at a news conference the private transactions are a loophole that needs to be closed. Theres no background check, and some (guns) could be exchanged on the streets that shouldnt be in circulation. [i]Translation: I prefer my cattle to be dehorned, makes them easier to process[/i] Mayor Mike also asserted that A lot of gun deaths are due to accidents... (2008-2010 accidental gun deaths nationwide =752 out of the 7,377,582 total deaths for those years. or %00.0102 or one hundred two ten [U]thousandths of a percent[/U], or approximately 1 death out of every 9,810 deaths nation wide.), ...or guns stolen from houses (anybody know a decent source for data on stolen guns?)... ...so it does make a difference, he added. Except the number of guns owned by U.S. citizens has no causal relation to the mortality rate in either size or frequency. In point of fact the only statement that we can factually make about the relationship between the number of firearms and the number of violent crimes is that [b]more guns does not equal more violence[/b].
