'Got guns?': DC police announce new intitiative to get illegal firearms off the streets

The Metropolitan Police Department is launching a new initiative to get illegal guns off the streets of D.C.

www.fox5dc.com

Until Oct. 1, any tip that leads to an arrest and seizure of an illegal gun will give a reward of up to $2,500. If an illegal ghost gun is seized, that reward goes all the way up to $7,500.

Interesting development...

FWIW, ATF used a different rewards approach for Valentine's Day in 2022:

On a brighter note
I heard from a retired DC officer they are changing pistols and current and former officers can buy their former service weapon.
My friend put in for his already.

I might consider selling a P80 for $7500. But I don't have any illegal guns, so ai guess I'm SOL.

Got Responsibility?

Get out of town; we don't want your type around here.

Aren't they appealing to the "Snitches get stitches" constituency?

Just sayin

Sure.

But certainly the local Karen Squad wouldn't hesitate either.

Asking a group known for "Snitches get stitches" to turn each other in.

To quote Jeremy Clarkson, "What could possibly go wrong?"

If anyone here has a ghost gun in DC, PM me your address. I’d like to send you flowers…

Why are they making the reward contingent on arrest? The ones who need to be locked up are set free anyway.

Lolz, this was quite literally featured in Matt Bracken's enemies foreign and domestic trilogy years ago.

snitches get stiches, but these amounts may be worth a beatdown.

Most definitely.

I’m curious how much they’ll wind up paying out….

Sure.

No doubt someone showed off something illegal to them. They’ll be able to splurge on something (dinner/clothing) with the proceeds, but it’ll be obvious to everyone a few degrees from them they did it.

Reminds me of this scene from Goodfellas where people are showing off what they spent money on:

The problem solves itself I guess?

I'm looking around for a gun "buyback" program if anyone knows of an upcoming one. FIL moved to Florida and left 2 cheap shotguns in poor shape with me. If I can find some moronic govt willing to pay $100 per, I'd gladly sell them "back".

I saw that Baltimore County did a "buyback" a couple months ago and was paying $50 for "extended" magazines. Heck, I've got 5 brand new Magpuls I bought last month in Charleston for $10/piece that I would gladly sell for 5x that price!!!

I'll rat you out and we can split the take.
