New Jersey Collected HOW MANY Guns in its Recent Buyback Program?

[Acer-m14]

Porrino made it clear that every gun that was turned in will be melted down this week; and they will not be tested at a ballistics labs beforehand.
U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick, who joined Porrino at the press conference, was also pleased with the results – especially the 129 “assault weapons” that were turned in.
“These people are not criminals,” Porrino stated at the press conference. “These are people who had guns in their houses who told us they wanted to get rid of them. They wanted to get rid of them because they were afraid a child was going to stumble on it and make a mistake.”

did u see that ??

did u see that ??

Saw that. Now pair it with the idiocy that followed:

“These people are not criminals,” Porrino stated at the press conference."

And they know they're not criminals without testing becauuuuuse? They must be like the Amazing Kreskin!!! All you young'ens should look him up. Bunches eF'ing morons.

 

[Exonautic]

Love that he goes straight for the, "its for the children" trope. Stick it somewhere dumbass. I'm sure that some of those guns were probably beautiful pieces.

did u see that ??

It is the "progessive" thing to do. Just as in the current Heroin epidemic, they blame the opioid s. Besides, a true progressive doesn't care about solving some black on black murder, it is one less black person and there are more black men in prison than white men. It is just unfair damn it.

Residents turned in 1,973 handguns, 1,142 shotguns, 1,025 rifles and 129 “assault weapons” as New Jersey police call them. With each firearm being handed in – no questions asked – in exchange for $100 to $200, the state ended up shelling out a whopping $481,620 in cash.

$481,620 of taxpayer cash, not approved by voters, approved by bastard politicians. Remember that next time you hit a pothole or experience reduced services. That's wages for 4 police officers for a year to fight real crime.

4,000+ firearms from Camden,Trenton and Newark....there arent 4000+ non-criminals in all 3 cities.

Here's what people turned in at N.J.'s biggest ever gun buyback
SEMI-AUTOMATIC AND AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
“Assault weapons” is a loaded term, but authorities say the buybacks brought in 129 semi-automatic and automatic weapons, some of which were illegal in New Jersey.

“Many of those weapons are designed to pierce body armor, and getting just one of them off the street is a tremendous value,” state Attorney General Christopher Porrino said.

From the looks of it, those three cities deer population will be safe now.

They essentially say they know this does absolutely nothing at all to halt crime, but we're gonna spend almost a half mil anyway because it makes us feel good. Idiots.

 

[Grimscale]

I see .22s, shotguns, possibly a black powder, guns without barrels....
Where's the automatic one? I would have thought they'd have it front and center as an example of how important this travesty was.

"Designed to pierce body armor"
The stupid is strong with this one!

 

[Mk44]

So this is their haul. A bunch of "Assault weapons", "Weapons of war" as they call it.... lol
Oh boy what a success!!! (sarcasm) They spent "$481,620 in cash" of taxpayer's money to buy back people's unwanted old hunting rifles/shotguns and some .22 plinking rifles.

Been to a couple of these buy backs, it's mostly widows wanting getting rid of their husband's old rusty rifle/shotgun for hassle free cash. Or old men that don't hunt anymore & looking to cash in on his old firearm.

WTF is this?

 

[dubleuhb]

Travesty

 

[thegatman]

WTF is this?

to answer my own question its a high standard 10A...never seen one before

 

[Sweetyzfd]

He's right..... they are weapons of war. The left doesn't want any of them in the hands of conservatives. I'm surprised they want to take them from their criminal base. If/when trump gets fired. They'll be wishing they took away all the guns!!

 

[NY Leatherneck]

Good news is I think they took at least 1 pellet gun off the streets.

If that was a pic of guns in this buy back then they bought back a pellet rifle too.

[Criticalt]

I dont see any handguns.
They must have already been sold to the gangbangers.

How many of these will be used in future murders?
My guess is 148

 

[Shadow2]

waiting for NY to do this ... I have a glenfield 25 i wouldn't mind getting $200 for,

Hell, if they are gonna give you 2 benjis for a rifle I'm going to Wallyworld and buying 10 red ryders !! Are they going to refuse ? They'll look great in the pic all piled up.

 

[NYGuns]

I'll be hosting a "NYGF Give-Back" program to help keep guns out of the threads of NYGF....Just give me all your guns and help make NYGF safer. It works.

I bet the thugs and criminals followed the people home since they knew they had no protection now.

 

[S&W Fan]

I see that they collected a rare armor piercing pellet rifle. I have a couple in the back of the closet that I'll take a couple of hundred for all day long. What a bunch of morons.

 

[Chipperxd]

Seattle actually had a few of these. Every time people showed up at the buy backs with signs that they will offer more money for the guns. At least they used to when FTF transfers were still legal in WA.
