GUN BUYBACK!!!

[mbills2223]

The adults in the room are always entertained when kids go looking for trouble, get trouble, and then whine about getting trouble.

A kid drives all the way from Terre Haute to blatantly taunt the police at an advertised gun buy-back and you, somehow, blame the cops? Grow up, people. This kind of nonsense is exactly the kind of things the left uses to constantly beat the drum that says that none of us should have guns.

Going there with a sign to solicit transactions to buy guns, at their event, is stupid. Period. Responsible gun owners are glad he got to sit handcuffed for an hour. Perhaps he will show a bit more maturity before he does something as stupid the next time.

This post is just plain sad. He wasn't going to look for trouble. He was going to engage in legal commerce. You're belittling him and making assumptions because he's "a kid." I'm sure there are plenty of responsible gun owners who STRONGLY disagree with you. I firmly stand behind his actions. You've clearly accepted the stripping of our liberties and in fact you even seem to support it.



It's unfortunate that they were able to find a code that he "violated" because for all intents and purposes he was illegally detained by police.

I think you are right. INGO officers have posted that if found with stolen guns, you ARE going to jail.

I believe the individuals selling guns to the police were required to show ID's. I doubt you would show the cops your ID before handing over a stolen gun.

Unless you are a Minister operating a gun buyback, of course..

That is the one thing that keeps me from doing a buy at a place like this. Unless there is a number I can call to check the serial number before purchase.

That said, I hope we see a lawsuit over this. I get sick of all the "Respect my Authoritah!" crap for legally acting citizens.

Wow, that was a LONG read. More to come 4 sure!

Why do these officers think it's fine to violate the law, but then detain someone who did nothing wrong?

We need more of this. Illegal detention and harassment of gun owners. This equals more successful lawsuits, which results in less police intervention into our lives.

Or just less police intervention.

Maybe you should have said, "Thank you for coming over to assist me, officer. Could you please check the serial numbers on these guns to make sure they're not stolen?"

Seriously though, I will be watching this thread.

Any more Impd is just irritating me. The other day had one cut me off and others because he did not want to be behined anyone.... Civilian clothing, handicap hanger on the rear view (allways thought that wa illegal while driving) and granny in the passenger seat..... Soon I just may start calling in complaints or posting car numbers...

I'm sorry, I had a much different impression from the organizing minister on the news. "We're not asking where they come from," were his words.

Rumor has it the MCPO informed them that their initial plans weren't going to work.

Post #143 in this thread is from a member who sold guns. His name and address were recorded.

So did anyone see anything turned in that was at a surprisingly high value?

I read it, but I wonder if the lady with the revolvers was under the same impression as me.
WRTV minister just quoted "no questions asked" also. Must be a PR thing (read lie)?

 

[bjbooher]

Its a shame that a badge gives some people an attitude like that.

 

[dubsac]

just watched it on 6 news looked like the got a good amount of handguns and longguns

 

[bcskypilot]

Not much coverage on 6 but it sounds like they collected 300 plus guns.

Yep...Guy in the truck ahead of us turned in what appeared to be a Browning 12G shotgun, Remington Bolt Action Rifle, what appeared to be a Winchester 9422 w/scope, and a stainless revolver... .22 or .38.

I was sick. I *****ed @ wife for prolly 5 minutes.
