--" exclaimed LAPD Officer Brian Hun of the Southwest Division. "It's like catching the big one."--

--some LA cops apparently fit the "stupid" category, also--

the 15th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots

Also known as ''the uprising,'' per the wonderful congresswoman Maxine Waters, one of the reasons I no longer live in the golden state.

“...along with enough ammunition to blow away 59 bystanders.”

Well, at least the writer isn’t resorting to hysteria or fear mongering.

You can bet that one gun wasn’t turned in by a Korean shop owner.
I guess the AME preacher doesn’t remember the Watts riots. Obviously, most business owners do.

This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

I can understand the reporters not having a clue, but the police? It sounds to me like their program was a complete failure, and they were trying to hype the only gun turned in by making it sound like they got something that was truly egregious.

Quoting the article out of order:

"If we can take one gun off the street, it's worth it," said Hun, a senior lead officer for the area. "If a gangster wanted to do a drive-by, it's the ultimate weapon."

The Chinese-made SSK assault rifle with two, 30-round banana clips was dropped off by a dad whose son had long ago left it at his house.

So the firearm wasn't "on" the street in the first place. I think it's safe to conclude that it was quietly rusting away in Dad's closet.

Wow, the citizens of L.A. were so well served by this use of police time. It's not as if the police who manned this photo-op could have been out catching, oh I don't know, actual criminals, or anything like that.

Likely a murder weapon, given in a gun amnesty buy back, so that it can’t ever be used as evidence.

If you want to shoot someone and ensure the weapon can’t be used as evidence, just wait until these idiots are doing a buy back.

I bought by two SKS rifles for $90 each ten years ago and I got a can of 1000 rounds for an additional $20 (enough ammo to take out 999 bystanders and 1 reporter!). What are they going for today?

So what does a SSK look like. I have one of those Chinese made SKS toys. Sort of fun to plink with.

It would almost be worth turning a piece of crap like that just to watch and laugh over the reaction.

I wonder how that quote that snuck past the editor.

Somehow, I don't think this guy was about to commit a crime.

"If we can take one gun off the street, it's worth it," said Hun

Maybe Attila here thinks otherwise...

Are Ca. police really that stupid. An SKS is more like a 5 to 10 round internal clip rifle. An ak47 has a larger clip and is external fed. No wonder ca is in such a fix!

For those lurkers who are not especially firearms literate, there is a custom gun manufacturer out there called SSK who makes high accuracy modifications to common hunting and target firearms, but it's extremely unlikely that this is what they're talking about.

More than likely, what was turned in was a Chinese "SKS" rifle, which is a very inexpensive but reliable, semi automatic firearm.

It fires an inexpensive round which is suitable for hunting everything from rabbits to Deer, and is considered one of the very best "bang's for the buck" in the firearms industry. It can do a wide variety of things effectively and do it on the cheap.

They aren't very pretty, but they get the job done.

In the meantime the police have apparently played this up, knowing full well that the reporters are a bunch of trained chimps who don't know any better.

The SKS is NOT, ans Assault weapon:

SKS rifle - civilian modification

It was the only gun relinquished in three hours of waiting.

That's pretty pathetic.
Well, I'm glad that this otherwise monumental waste of time paid off for these losers. The "ultimate weapon", an SKS. Ha! Just imagine what their reaction would have been if someone turned in a Barrett.

Now that's ultimate!

What a bunch of losers. I remember when you could buy cheap SKS rifles at department stores for $75. I knew a guy who had 30 of them in a closet. lol

I guess if I wanted to move to LA, my two AR15s and their 30 round mags wouldn’t be welcomed.
