Police officers in Seattle, Washington held their first gun buyback program in 20 years this weekend, underneath interstate 5, and soon found that private gun collectors were working the large crowd as little makeshift gun shows began dotting the parking lot and sidewalks. Some even had “cash for guns” signs prominently displayed.

Police stood in awe as gun enthusiasts and collectors waved wads of cash for the guns being held by those standing in line for the buyback program.

People that had arrived to trade in their weapons for $100 or $200 BuyBack gift cards($100 for handguns, shotguns and rifles, and $200 for assault weapons) soon realized that gun collectors were there and paying top dollar for collectible firearms. So, as the line for the chump cards got longer and longer people began to jump ship and head over to the dealers.

John Diaz, Seattles Police Chief, wasn’t pleased with the turn of events stating “I’d prefer they wouldn’t sell them,” but admitted it’s perfectly legal for private individuals to buy and sell guns, FOR NOW. Mayor Mike McGinn said at a news conference the private transactions are a loophole that needs to be closed. “There’s no background checks, and some (guns) could be exchanged on the streets that shouldn’t be in circulation.”

But Schuyler Taylor, a previous gun retailer attending the event in hopes of buying weapons, asked “Why not offer them cash versus a gift card? I’m still taking the guns off the streets; they’re just going in my safe.”

People were reportedly, at one point, jumping out of vehicles whilst sitting in traffic – making on the spot deals with the gun buyers.

But the BuyBack wasn’t a bust. On the contrary – their $80,000 supply of gift cards didn’t last but 2 hours, and by 11:00 am they began attempting to issue IOU’s at which point the entire crowd responded by turning and marching toward the gun dealers, forcing the police officers to pack it up for the day.

On one last note of hilarity, the Seattle Police department claims that they will check the buyback guns to see if any were previously stolen and, if so, try to return them to the rightful owners! LOL. Brilliant!

In 1992, Seattle police collected more than 1,200 guns in a four-day buyback program.

Now the only question is, when will the Seattle Police department stage the next gun show?

I find it creepy that guns can be sold between individuals without requiring a background check. That should be illegal.

Okay, that's kind of hilarious in a demented sorta way.

Mind you, far as I can tell most of the private buyers were collectors who, yanno, COLLECT...
And frankly the weapons and prolly safer in their hands than the cops.

Which means in light of the above, those guns at these buybacks, a lot of em end up right back in circulation - a sham to enrich the police dept under the thin fiction of getting them off the streets, gobbled right up by the gullible.
Just so ya know.

Oh, and in respect to PN's little graphic about careers likely to attract sociopaths, ironically sociopaths make VERY GOOD Surgeons, their self-contained nature making them less prone to stress related errors and their own ego tends to ensure a certain perfectionism.
You just don't wanna be in the same room with em outside of a medical procedure.
One of the crack brained team which put me back together was an OBVIOUS sociopath, to the point where he had a couple med-student minders to keep him in line, but he was very, very good at his job, that I will say.

And also, PN - I would not put any more trust in the lies of those Sheriffs than I did when the Military and Police forces claimed they'd never do it ever in the first place - Katrina showed what those promises are REALLY worth.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

One of the "guns" bought by a dealer at that event was a surface-to-air shoulder-launched missile. Police confiscated it pending investigation, suspecting it was stolen from the military.

Surely in the wake of 9/11, we all need the capability to shoot down airliners, right?

Creepy? It's been that way since... ever ?

It wasn't an operational Stinger, but an empty tube, of a fired off weapon, and essentially useless.

But never mind the facts, eh Kwickie ?

Seattle gun buyback nets Stinger missile launcher

Seattle police are tracking down the history of a nonfunctional missile launcher that showed up at a weapons buyback program

Detective Mark Jamieson says a man standing outside the event on Saturday bought the military weapon for $100 from another person there. The single-use device had already been used. It's a launch tube assembly for a Stinger portable surface-to-air missile.

He says detectives will notify the Army Criminal Investigation Command on Monday.

Jamieson says the launcher is a controlled military item and that's not available to civilians through any surplus or disposal program offered by the government

Gun-grabbers don't fear guns, they all love gunes, they all love fully-automatic assault rifles, but only in the hands of genocidal governments.

And those kosher gun-grabbers plan to kill YOU for their Jew World Odor dictatorship of banksters.

I see not only did Kwickie bitch out of this thread, ( once again, he was completely wrong ) but Nikki even started an entirely different thread, to follow up on the empty , useless stinger launcher.

I heard it was a nuclear tipped missile.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Scroll, scroll, scroll (ouch!). I find it incredibly creepy too, Agent; the idea that background checks are intended to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, among others, and that they can simply go to a gun show to get whatever they want, is patently absurd. As to the argument that it's always been that way, so was slavery before somebody started changing it, among many, many other things. That argument is totally fallacious.

I guess Rap is having a hissy fit of some kind, responding to his own posts and upset that you haven't come back to this thread, Mike. Nothing new there.

He's apparently also forgotten (or not paid attention to) my having said that I don't read PN's threads 99% of the time, and that the titles PN puts up often bear no relation to the issue he's presenting. I put up a story I saw, and until now has no knowledge that the information was already in this thread. Sorry to disappoint.

Tit for tat got us where we are today. If we want to be grownups, we need to resist the ugliness. If we each did, this would be a better reflection on Firefly and a more welcome place. I will try.

Then clearly your source was even worse than mine, and you are completely wrong, as usual.
