Newtown Shooting Sparks Thousands Of People To Hand Over Guns In Buyback Program Video

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Throughout the country, the last two days have seen a spike in participation at such prescheduled buyback events, according to local reports.

Cities such as Baltimore, Oakland, Calif., and Evanston, Ill. all had prescheduled events Saturday where attendance exceeded past levels, with many gun owners expressing horror at Friday’s events.

Hundreds of residents of the Bay Area returned their guns for $200 at two separate buyback events in San Francisco and Oakland on Saturday.

The line was so long in San Francisco that there was no cash left after lunchtime and I.O.U.s were substituted instead.

At St. Benedict’s Church in East Oakland, the line for cars waiting to participate reportedly went on for a mile — even as nearby, three were wounded in a shooting.

 There’s only one problem with this scenario: it’s the law-abiding citizens returning guns. The criminals are not about to surrender theirs.

All reports from the scene quote people who were highly unlikely to use their firearms for criminal activity in the first place.

      How many of those guns were stolen? I wonder if they bother to check.

    • Patriot Line

      Try as I may, I failed to see an “assault rifle” in this video. all i saw was a bunch of low end guns. and cheap obsolete surplus guns. aside from the glock I saw and maybe a smith or two. They probably took the 200.00 and bought ammo for their ar-15 thats still in the closet. another failure, americans arent that stupid after all. Glad to see someone still wants a ww2 long gun.. HAVE A NICE DAY !!!!!! :grin:

      • Patriot Line

        Im wrong there were several ak type guns on the table but she said they got 1 so the rest must have been there to show that its working. gun control works ! ask adolph hitler.

      This is the most idiotic and stupidist act of ignorance I have ever seen. I would like to see this idea fly in Texas. Most of the guns that are turned in arnt fit to shoot. This is a global conspiracy to round up all the guns and all the ammunition. I find it very difficult to wrap my mind around the idea that a snotty nose, puberty stricken kid shot all the children to began with. It is really great timing when the UN wants America to sign the small arms treaty. China and Russia demands that America disarm as will be the requirements of the smalll arms treaty. You got to be kidding!! so China can invade us? that is what the 2nd admendment was all about and it will not be taken away from me, I refuse to give up my 2nd admendment right. I will arm myself to protect my family, hunt for food when we all loose our electricity, and to defend against government tryrany. The 1st congress had no guns for the people did, and it seems that it is backwards now. So I am going on the record for the United States government to include the secret service and all the gun toters in the White House to sell back their guns to the local state law enforcement. I reallly don’t see that happening.

        This is another Obama administration divide and conquer tactic. First they paint the people handing in their firearms as true patriots, then they paint the people who do not turn in their weapons as “nut cases” and dangerous radicals whom the people that turned their guns in should fear. Then America turns on each other. Dived we fall!

        The Corporate mainstream media that control the government, will paint those who turn in their weapons as true patriots, then they will paint those of us who don’t turn in our firearms as “crazy Nut case” and they will start a fear campaign between the haves and the have not. Much like they are doing with Poor against the evil Rich. Then once they divide the American public they will have a much easier and safer time disarming the rest of us. Neighbors will be turning in neighbors, children against parents and so on. America will be a country even further divided. We need to start calling congressmen and woman and express our concerns, Gun Owners Of America are in the minority this time. The only chance we have is Uniting and becoming organized in our quest to defend our 2nd amendment rights. Divided we will fall! Here is a link that provides all the congress people’s contact information.http://www.contactingthecongress.org/
        Call them daily the left will be doing the same.

      Stupid, stupid people… sigh… Now that you’ve turned them in would you kindly step up, single file, and board these brand new rail cars please…

      DHS is gearing up to conduct a massive civil war against the American people!
      China, Russia and Mexico are planning an invasion of the U.S. The military is helpless to counter such an attack on American soil without huge casualties of American lives. The only option, arm the citizens and drug them with Prozac, Ritalin, Zoloft, and other psychotic drugs and turn them into “Hyper Killers!” like what was witnessed in the Connecticut shooting. Kill any target without remorse, no pity, no pain, and no guilt! That stupid kid(Adam Lanza)was a test subject and his mother was an expandable asset of the C.I.A,an operative who worked for D.A.R.P.A. The victims of the shooting were the targets intended! For these monsters the experiment was a success! The shooting was a show of force to test the rest of the world. “If you invade the U.S. this is what you’ll have to deal with an armed population of psychopathic killers on drugs!” The Red pill is always hard to swallow…

        ” Newtown Shooting Sparks Thousands Of People To Hand Over Guns ”

        I notice there was no mention made of how many were on prescription drugs and how many were dragging along one of those carts to hang their IV fluoride drips on…or both.

      STUPID STUPID PEOPLE!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! I would be embarassed to call myself an American. Wait till you need one to defend yourself and protect your family in this crazy world. I wouldn’t live on this planet without one.

    • bushman

      The states are going broke,having trouble paying for police and fire service/para medics but can find money to buy back guns.If you really do not want them GIVE them back.and how are the people who buy them plan to get rid of them.mmmmSell them to the drug cartels prehaps. mmmmmmFAST AND FURIOUS

    • Anonymous

      $200! one could buy a used shotgun for $80 and sell it to the buybackers for $200. Nice racket!

      • County255

        I participated in one several years ago (90′s), the buyback was for $50, but the was no limit, my buddy owned a gun shop, I bought 50 Raven .25 cal. pistols for $32 each, made $18 a gun, $900 Profit, no questions asked.

        People better wake up, feel sorry for the children and the families, but giving away your source of protection or hunting, that’s just plum dumb, enjoy your train ride……….

    • mikehock

      I used to think Raechel Maddow was a journalist, but she’s just another puppet pushing disarmament of America’s law abiding population. Criminals aren’t going to sell their guns because they know the one with the gun rules or kills. If we can’t protect ourselves, then we are left open for attack. You can make a lot more than 200.00 using the gun in a home invasion and get the money from the people who participated in the “buyback” programs-and a lot more.

    • dragnett44

      It’s looks like a political stunt fabricated by the liberal left. I would put my badge as a police officer on it that those guns were already due to be destroyed and were already logged in as law enforcement confiscation firearms. Confiscated from criminals in closed felony cases. It sure looks like many of the guns I’ve arrested felons with. I wouldn’t doubt it at all.

    • Corruption Killer

      Hah hah, try to go to these police agencies and ask them you want to file charges against a police officer that you know killed somebody, or a prosecutor or judge that is a coke distributor. THEY WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!! you are idiots.
