Quite small does *not* equal zero. Also,imagine one of the guns involved *was* used in a murder and,never having tested it,the Dallas Police sold it to a criminal who used it to kill someone else. The City of Dallas could be sued big time for negligently having failed to take that weapon off the streets.

Maybe the police could be sued, but they are not private purchasers.

I keep hoping that there will be one of those government gun buying carnivals in my area.

I have an old handgun that was in a flood and that I did not find until it had been buried in mud for a couple of weeks. I didn’t have time to try and salvage it at the time so I stuck it a box and forgot about it for a couple of years. When I came across it again it was rusted pretty solid.

I would be happy to trade it for a $100 gift card.

“most people coming to such an event would question the legality of selling a gun to someone on the street for cash.”

The legality of now, or the legality when the Constitution was written?

But I expect you’re right in that they probably were crap guns in the first place.

29 gauge, huh? Bet that's hard to find ammo.

Reminds me of "Mr. Mom" where Michael Keaton is trying to impress a rival and he says he's going to rewire the house. The rival said, "220?" Keaton said, "220. 221. Whatever it takes."

[LouAvul]

I’m surprised it wasn’t at least 10 times that many.

Looking at the pics, I'd say they bought about 20 guns too many.

[Pollard]

Sad part is that I bet some of those were grandpa’s gun.

I own a starting pistol in good working order. I hang it on a peg in my garage. Wonder if I could get $100 for it.

I was only commenting on this particular matter...firearms being bought,and sold,by a city's police department.

[antidemoncrat]

Maybe the good side to that is the people turning those guns in probably shouldn’t be able to own one.

Not a problem.

But, at this event, the police were not selling any guns.

Private buyers were purchasing guns from people who were bringing guns to be turned in to the police.

[NFHale]

That’s exactly what they wanted.

[NFHale]

True enough.

But they’ll find a good home…

28ga with a barrel bulge. LOL!

Remington made them in 20 and 28, if I recall.

A friend hunted quail with me with one back in my Fort Hood days, I used a BSS 20 Ga English stocked.

I shot a 24 ga once, in Europe.

Another image from the "buyback", shows some more nice guns.
