When I hear about these so-called “Buy Back” programs, I can”t forget what William Travis did at the Alamo, when Santa Anna demanded that all those Alamo defenders surrender their weapons or face death.

[...] The City of Los Angeles is asking for residents to turn in their firearms with no questions asked. More from: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com… [...]

Know I know why I never watch CBS chanel 2 or chanel 9

When taking it to one of those addresses make sure you are doing it legally in case you get stopped. Next time “open carry unloaded” could be illegal.

What a sad day for the guns. Once useful and valuable guns will be melted down to send the steel to China. It’s a crying shame. Why couldn’t the owners keep good care of them, register them, or for some avoid buying illegal guns in the first place. Every gun needs a good home. Why would you provide one with a bad home or provide one to a bad individual. What a waste of resources and money making them in the first place to only have them destroyed. I’ll need to spend some quality time with my guns tonight to help me through this sad, very sad and tragic event.

$200 is NOTHING for “LEGAL” purchased guns. For “LEGAL” purchased guns, they should offer current market value or at least more than $200.

Even BB Shotguns cost almost $200.

Come on guys, it’s not for regular people with guns.

It’s for “hot weapons”. And those who need a place to get rid of em’, no questions asked.

well thats sad, I enjoyed watching Kcal 9 morning news casts, but as I heard about this, and your SPONSORING of this event. I will no longer watch either channels CBS2 or KCAL 9…..

and wild west, no, this is not just for those with dirty guns, its to exploit the poor, and down and out, lets face it, if you were jobless (most of LA, and got kids to feed) you would turn in your guns for some money… VERY VERY sad day for those who will lose the right to protect themselves, because of their NEED to provide for their families…

just remember… When seconds count, Cops are but minutes away..

Be proud of your sponsorship of criminals!

I’m amused to see a media organization conspiring to destroy evidence. Unless the firearms are checked by serial number to return them to their rightful owners, this is conversion and receiving stolen property at best.

Wow, now the media AND the City of L.A. are making it easy for criminals to commit a crime and then destroy the evidence…and even get paid $200 for it!! Who thinks this stuff up???

Will my 91/30 get $200? If so I am there! How many will you accept?

This is nothing but a farce!

The only thing that this buy back program does is take the right to bare arms one step closer to the end. We the people need to be able to protect our selves from harm. The gangs and the true criminal elements are not taking the guns they have to the buy back program for a gift card to Ralphs ( they (gangs/criminals) may be dumb, but they are not stupid).

So, if you return a legal weapon for a gift card, you now are unable to protect yourself with that legal weapon.

Not a smart move we the people!

CBS/KCAL,
Kiss off!
I will no longer use you as a news source.

I will be DELIGHTED to “turn in” my firearms, BULLETS FIRST to anyone who wishes to confiscate them.

These politicans just don’t seem to understand that the people are not going to allow themselves to be stripped of their protection.
I was hoping that the Supreme Court had voted against the 2nd Amendment, then we would have had to turn in everything or fight!
I personally prefer the latter.
Never allow yourself to be disarmed, no matter hiw many ‘laws’ they make.
I’ve known people who have all sorts of stuff stashed away for that ‘rainy day’, when they might have to sort things out.

At least you can get some money out of your broken guns?

It’s hard to believe any reasoning person could think this is a good idea. Can we define a purpose to the gun buyback?

Even if the purpose is to “get guns off the street,” it will fail. No criminal will turn in a gun that he needs for his business, and no one will turn in a gun that he might be able to sell for a higher price legally. There are plenty of guns being built to replace the ones snapped up in this feel-good, tail-chasing exercise. This is like bailing water from the deep end of the pool and pouring it into the shallow end.

Guns in the hands of law-abiding people deter crimes.

“LAPD to assist in destruction of evidence in multiple unsolved murder cases and turn blind eye to gun related felonies”

The headline for this story as it should read.

The right of the People to keep and bear arms… America’s most infringed Civil Right.

What’s next…Sell your children day?
-
As far as the term “buy-back”…The city has never sold a single gun to “buy-back”.
-
I’m sure zero criminals are going to be selling their guns so ultimately this is yet another waste of tax payers money.

What a liberal joke, go to Venice or dodger baseball game and you wish you had your gun, ask chief beck if he travels around LA unarmed?

The LAPD is not stripping anyone of their rights. They still do ballistic tests on all of them before destroying any arms. This is for their records and trust me, all of these arms being turned in may be no questions asked when dropped off, but DNA, fingerprints and video of you turning the weapon in are still used to prosecute criminals. Not grandads old rusty shotgun but terrorist gang thugs who think they ARE getting away with murder. If California wasn’t so snippy with gun laws, armed citizens would have the upper hands on these wastes of life criminals bojo’s.

Imagine all the unsolved Homicides due to this program. Murderers will get away with their crime cause no one is checking to see if the weapons turned in match those in a Federal data base. What idiot came up withthis program in the first place. Ahh it must have been Mayor Villarigosa’s puppet, Chief Charlie Beck of course! So you go steal firearms, kill someone with it and turn it in no questions asked. What a bunch of losers our Politicians have become!!!

Absolute insanity of the touchy feely PC crowd! Nothing will change in the hood! Sillayaragosa, puppet Beck and the brainless lemmings continue to thrive! The main problem is that they THINK they are making a HUGE difference! Nothing is farther from the truth! To err is human but for SHEER real incompetence you need a far left liberal!
