N.J. to announce 2-day, statewide gun buyback program
nj.com ^ | 6/27/2017 | Claude Brodesser-Akner

Acting U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick and state Attorney General Christopher Porrino will announce several initiatives to combat gun violence in New Jersey, including a two-day statewide gun buyback program in three cities this summer.

A formal announcement is expected at 1 p.m. in Trenton, but the gun buyback initiative being planned would include locations in Newark, Camden and Trenton, according to a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office.

The joint federal and state announcement comes after a deadly start to the summer. The amount of money made available for buybacks was not disclosed ahead of the annoucement.

So, will this be one of those "buy backs" where some enterprising folks could make a buck or is that forbidden in Joisee. But, uh, how can someone buy back something that was never theirs in the first place. Interesting last paragraph in the piece too.

The problem is cultural, not inanimate objects.

They’d get a better turnout if they included wood and aluminum bats for buyback as well.. and probably accomplish more in reducing violence.

I hate dishonesty. The very term "buy back" is dishonest. The State of New Jersey did not manufacture, ship, or sell these weapons in the first place. It cannot possibly buy them "back".

Oh, and GFY Chris Christie you disgusting SOB.

And all you Christiebots who "think" President Trump should find room in his administration for Mr. Creosote can GFY as well.

What are you trying to say, NorthMountain?

If it's a typical buy back they'll get piles of hunting and plinking rifles that were stolen in the 1950s and 1960s, a few broken handguns, and a very small number of nice, contemporary pistols. (Be sure to check the ballistics on the latter! Cash + "No questions asked" is a great way to dispose of a firearm that has been previously used in a crime!)

This is all nothing more than a stupid, futile gesture. Pennsylvania, which is one of the more 2A friendly states around, is on the other side of the Delaware River from Camden and Trenton and it is much, much, much easier to get a Pennsylvania driver's license than to get a New Jersey pistol purchase permit.

OK. Easy to believe, since he's responsible for this anti-gun waste of taxpayer money.

Question: Who appointed him "Acting US Attorney"? Anybody know?

Anyone?

Bueller?

TRUMP???

To make a pile big enough for the cameras, they'll buy "back" air guns, replicas, and wall-hangers made of "resin".

I'm saying that the execrable slob Chris Creosote Christie is unfit to serve in the Trump administration (or any other), in any capacity, and that those who think otherwise have their skulls filled with some odorous barnyard substance.

Do I make myself clear?
