How many career felons turned in their guns?

The BREN gun PARTS set would be worth 5k in America. 40-60k if REWATED and transferable

Depends, do they test fire turned in weapons for ballistics testing reference or just destroy them?

“Every firearm handed in to police makes the city safer as it prevents them from falling into the hands of criminals.”
Ah, there it is, the new justification....If we don’t have ‘em the bad guys can’t get ‘em. Because we are obviously not competent enough to own ‘em in the 1st place.............RIIIIGHT.

How many shootings may go unsolved because these weapons are no longer "available" for ballistic tests?

"The two weapons, which had been deactivated"So how is that any different from handing over a few pounds of any other kind of scrap metal to the police?

Let's see. They were "deactivated" so the guy turned in a couple of big paper weights. Once upon a time I had a Browning .30 water cooled mg with the bolt welded. Made a fun conversation piece. 👹

First time I’ve heard of “air weapon.” Is that like an “air guitar?”

It’s scrap metal in the shape of a gun, duh!
Just like a harmless piece of toast can be chewed into a dangerous GLBO (gun like bread object).
To be fair, depending on how they were dewatted, they could probably be reactivated by some industrious souls in the Khyber pass gun shops. Which means they’re useless in Britain. Because the British are hopeless.

Remember guys when you make out your will make sure your weapons go to a good home where they will be appreciated and taken care of. Do not expect your wife to do the same unless she is a life member of the NRA.

Maybe it’s like the one in the current Dirk Gently.
It fires air but no moving parts.

The two weapons, which had been deactivated, Yahoos at Yahoo! - Title should read, "Six pounds of scrap metal handed in to police".

Wouldn’t a deactivated machine gun be a non machine gun as well as a non gun?
What a victory for the State, they took two paperweights off of the street! Exceedingly dangerious, these automatic paperweights could have been used to bash people over the head multiple times a minute. I am sure felons everywhere feel safer tonight.

Maybe it’s like the one in the current Dirk Gently. It fires air but no moving parts. I want one of those! Non lethal but kicks ass in close quarter combat. Of course it goes against all laws of physics. It sends the person flying but barely has a kick felt by the shooter. In real life that can't happen. Anything strong enough to send a person flying like that has to have a kick strong enough to do it to the shooter too which is why something that powerful is always mounted to something like a tank, bed of a truck, on a fighter jet, or helicopter. Think .50 cal mini-guns. :D

If they’d been de-activated....then they weren’t machine guns, except cosmetically.
So they were turned in because they LOOKED scary? Or because the owners were renouncing their role in WWII?
