These turnins are going to become an endangered species. They will exist only where protected from competition in those few states that prohibit private sales.

Sgt. Eren Stephens is a mo-ron or a liar and probably both.

Let me know when there’s a gun buyback program in the Lansing area. I have an old Savage SuperSingle Model 66 shotgun with a cracked aluminum receiver that I’d love to sell them.

“There’s a lot of reasons (gun buybacks) are flat out wrong. For one, it’s not going to change anything with regards to violent crime in the city of Detroit; two, potentially you have criminals who are destroying evidence along with the Detroit Police Department.”

There are 2 other reasons that buybacks are a mistake for the police and property owners where the buybacks take place.

The individual who out of ignorance sells a $500 firearm for $100 may want revenge at some later date.

The collection plate maybe lighter because the individual feels they were deceived.

A voter may vote against an item on the ballot that benefits the police department for the same reason.

The gentleman who advises the firearm owner of the actual value of the firearm in advance of a buyback is doing the church/property owner and police a favor.

Organized crime — with or without a badge — doesn’t approve of citizens poaching their turf. The Detroit PD or the Mafia — who can tell the difference?
