Computers for guns exchange program this Saturday

Epoxy it to a piece of 2X4 for a stock and it will look like some of the pictures of confiscated guns.

Paint it black and they'll likely give you double.

Ironically we are all probably more likely to be the victim of a cyber crime than being shot..... Just sayin

How many Nigerian princes are in Baltimore?

 

[j_h_smith]

So are we allowed to offer cash to the people in line trading in something nice?

As long as it's not a handgun or banned firearm, I don't see why not. A C&C transaction can take place anywhere.

cyber crime is rarely fatal...

I still contend that participating in these to get rid of a old worthless gun and get something hurts our cause. They won't say they gun was worthless, they will say they got a "gun off the streets" and call it a win.

Exactly...it's a feather in the cap of gun nazis...And you know what? It won't stop a single crime, it emboldens thugs to go steal guns, and I guarantee the rightful owners will never get their firearms back, even though in many cases it would be very easy to return them...

Better than a bag of magic beans, IMO.

hmmmm I have a old model 60 I may come out ahead on depending on the laptop...

If you are ready to give up a Mod#60 for a laptop-tell me what you need the laptop to do and I'll do that trade. MSP of your choice. Chris

Why doesn't MDS have a gun buyback

I did the baltimore buyback years ago and a lot of old widows were bringing in guns from their dead husbands that they didn't want in the house - remember a matched set of colts in the presentation box

couple ways to do it
use an appraiser and pay a real rate for resale
pay a flat rate
give a donated piece of merchandise

dump/recycle the junk and auction the good stuff to valid buyers

pay a portion of the proceeds after expenses to a good charity like MSI

get guns off the street and destroy unsafe guns and put collectable guns into the hands of valid gun owners

 

[Mr H]

Well...

Without a solid funding source for the true crap, it would likely just end up as a MDS "swap meet"

Besides... I can't see anyone here willing to do "no questions asked" and turn it over to LE.

 

[rauler]

They could well be refurbed GSA surplus.

How about a nice clean 286? Running Windows 3.0. Barely. Only used on Sunday...

Lol, or it could very well be a 10 MHz 8088 running MS-DOS 4.0 from a floppy disk.

 

[jrumann59]

The murder rate will plummet afterwards...

So will the low murder conviction rate.

 

[rico903]

It's Baltimore. Whoever participates deserves the POS PC he gets.

On the radio they said they were all Chrome books so not much of a computer. But it will get some garbage guns off the streets I guess.

 

[Abacab]

Man look at that haul...they had 70 Chromebooks and managed to give away only 17. Thank god they got that break open single shot shotgun off the streets!

"I'm hoping a lot of young guys will come in," said Hawkins, 44, an engineer who lives in the Owings Mills area. "You can't kill anyone if you don't have a gun."

Are you f...ing kidding me????

Tell that to Ms Bowers.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/3-indicted-in-brutal-rape-killing-of-baltimore-teen/

Bowers was reportedly found in the basement, restrained, sexually assaulted and strangled with an electric cord. Police say she died from asphyxiation.

Man, that would be C&R in IT world.

Not to mention the sniper rifle and the high capacity tube mag rifle. I hear those things will shoot faster than a banana clip because the boolits don't have to go around the curve in the clip. Read it on the interweb.

 

[shiner500]

Does anybody know what gun that is on the bottom left?

 

[rico903]

Actually had a couple of things I would like to have turned in, starter pistol for one, but couldn't make it.

 

[Abacab]

Looks like a pretty decent Type 99 in there. I hope that wasn't an original sling.
