New scam: Gas for Guns!

[indykid]

Waterloo decided to give out a few gas cards in trade for guns. Expected to take 4 hours but ran out of the cards in 45 minutes!!!

Police run out of gas at gun trade-in event

Note it was sponsored by a Shell station!

They destroyed ammo? That's weird.

Heck I'm pretty sure I've got some guns I'd give up for $150 of gas. And while you're in line with that rusty hi point, offer the widow behind you $151 for her late husbands beretta/glock/whatever

Sounds like a good time to buy some guns for yourself, honestly

They got a "pile of rifles and a box of handguns" for about 5 grand? Wish I'd have known people were so easily parted from some quality self-defensive material...

I will keep my guns and ride my bicycle

If they ever hold something like that around here I will go buy as many guns from the ppl in line as I can... You think the police would care?

At the bottom of the news article it says that they are planning another for this fall. I wouldn't have complained about picking up the Browning Hi Power for $150 .

This is where its supposed to be at:



Jim Lind Service BP station
230 E Ridgeway,
Waterloo, IA 50702 (319) 235-0457 ‎

Maybe a check of the local laws and roadtrip to Iowa might in the near future?

You'd be arrested for interfering with official police business.
