I do notice however that most of the guns in these pictures are rusted out junk. They are probably just getting the junk out of their collections for the "gift cards" while keeping the operable ones at home.
Do you see the Colt pistol on top with the Commander-style hammer and the pinned grip safety? That's not a crime gun but one that belonged to an enthusiast or pro, and it could be sold for $500 or $600 or more if it's an out of production (alloy frame) Colt Commander or (all steel) Combat Commander. I'm betting that those guns came from the evidence locker for the photo, because every other buyback nationwide resulted in pure, closet junk being turned in without any modern guns of any value being surrendered. (Unless Rastus' mom turned one in while the boy was asleep) Here in DE the newspaper printed the costs of the program in police overtime one day, and the number of guns received the next. (29-all junk) In short, it cost about a grand per gun and there wasn't even a .25 auto in the bunch, just ancient single shot shotguns and .22 rifles and one H&R .22 revolver. The program was a massive failure which the paper tried to disguise. What are the odds that so many useful guns would be surrendered when they could command much higher prices elsewhere, especially in this economy? And, what segment or demographic of Los Angeles would want to help and then trust the cops? With those guns the photo should have been filled with upscale citizens, i.e. Asians, Jews, whites etc.,. standing in line next to their Escalades and Mercedes. Or, if the guns were stolen from homes then why would crims surrender them when they could be sold on the street at a premium to drug dealers in one hour? No, those guns came from the police evidence locker. I couldn't even get a pro gun letter printed in The LA Times when I was there. In LA nothing is left to chance when the issue is guns.
I do believe you are correct, Dawggie. Scrrrrratches.
