Bang
I wish the Brady's would tell me where they can get these used guns cheap. Every Auction I have been to, the firearms went for WAY over their value when the Hammer came down.
To quote Martha Stewart, "and that's a good thing."
BS, a reasonably well maintained car still wears out. A reasonably well maintained gun will last for damn near forever.
They ain't cheap either.
Yep just check out places like CDNN Investments...download their catalog and you will find
nice police trade ins...they gottcher Glocks, Rugers, and yer Sigs and once in a while even some H&Ks...happy hunting.
When you find something you like...find an FFL dealer who will do special order for you and charge you anywhere from $10-$30 for the transfer..If he doesn't have an FFL on file with CDNN ask him for a signed copy or take him a stamped envelope to his shop and offer to mail it for him...
Much ado over nothing.
Shut up and deal the losers squeal.
I bought an LE's service pistol (Colt Diamondback) once and it was pretty well used. They get a lot of holster wear and tend to get dinged up when the LE gets in and out of the car and wrestles with perps. It works well, but it's not pretty.
Are the officers of Sweetwater patrolling the streets with flintlocks? Even cheap Chinese and Eastern European firearms are as reliable as an axe with even basic cleaning and routine maintenance. The mere fact that the Brady Bunch compares guns to cars should be enough to flag the analogy as flawed -- you don't have to trade a well maintained gun for a new one every few years to have a reliable weapon. My granddaddy's handguns are every bit as reliable as any pistol new out of the box.
If Chief Fulgueira needs money to arm new officers with new weapons, he has a problem. If he "needs" to trade in existing officers' guns for new ones for "reliability" -- he's got a heck of a lot bigger problem than his budget.
Sweetwater...the mean streets of Dade County and the hopeless look in the eyes of ballot inspectors. It figures.
Rubbish. These people don't even understand how capitalism works.
It would hardly be a responsible use of taxpayer dollars for the department to destroy the guns which still have a good deal of resale value. Would they destroy their used police cars when they need to buy new ones?
And that means that THOSE people might be able to afford one.
"These guns are going to go back into the civilian market. They're going to be very inexpensive to buy."
Racist code.
Yeah so ef'ing what?What exactly is bad about that?Oh wait I know whats bad about that.Poor black men and women can buy used guns when they are cheap but not brand new guns.So that hood wearing fascists rascist klansmen like john shanks cant easily lynch then and burn down thier houses if they are armed now I know why he opposes cheap guns its all very clear now.
