There were also two semi-automatic handguns turned in, including a Lorcin .380-caliber semi-automatic valued at about $500, which could fire eight or nine rounds with the magazine that came with it, Weldon said.

They forgot the decimal point. A Lorcin is worth about $5, and it might fire eight or nine rounds with the magazine. They obviously didn't get any photogenic AK47s to show off.

All gun turn-ins in Detroit feature an AK47, even if they have to bring one from the evidence locker. The rest of the haul is mostly trash.

Still, good on the Bradenton PD for getting the junk off the street. People could step on them, and break an ankle, otherwise.

I know people who cruise gun shows buying broken guns really cheap, just to have them to “Turn In” at the next “Buy-Back” for $100.00 each!

I know one guy who “Antiqued” several Crossman .45 replica BB guns and even cap-guns, then got $100.00 each for them from the ignorant wretch manning the “Buy-Back” booth.

Sometimes “the people” win. ;-)
