How do you demonstrate that it is actually a working gun? Do they test fire it? Do they do ballistics to see if it is a gun previously used in a crime?
They did not have to check out many. The program was a complete bust. Only 12 guns were collected. I saw no pictures, so they were probably beat up or single shot shotguns or .22 rifles.
This shows that people in Oakland are not as gullible as the anti-freedom forces thought.
