The second of three recently scheduled Miami gun buyback events was held at an Overtown church Saturday -- with people turning everything from handguns to shotguns to assault rifles.
Seventy-nine firearms were obtained during the four-hour buyback at St. John Baptist Church at 1328 NW Third Ave., police said. An AK-47 assault rifle that was turned in was among the weapons that officers were glad to see off the streets, police Sgt. Freddie Cruz said.
Here we have a perfect example of what we need to get off the streets: It's a sawed-off AK-47 with a 40-round clip, Cruz said.
Now this is 40 rounds that can take 40 lives in less than a minute, and when they run out of ammo, they have a bayonet over here that can penetrate two people at a time, he said.

The third Miami buyback is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. next Saturday, Feb. 2, at San Juan Bosco Church at 1301 W. Flagler St. in Little Havana.

I am happy to see this happening nation wide.
I meant Sgt Cruz, of course.
The video is even worse. That’s not an AK he’s holding. It’s a SKS. The cops are morons.
The ‘AK-47’ in the images is a Chinese MAK-90.
It took 23 post before someone brought up the fact that was NOT an AK 47.
We Must keep that fact alive. The public does not know the difference and that is critical.
The cop in that video is a retard. That ak47 is a SKS and it is not sawed off.
Stupid cop
These guns are not being analyzed for ballistics? What if some are being traded out so murder weapons will be destroyed and evidence erased?
