I bought a Sterling Arms 22 pistol many years ago cheap. It would never feed reliably. Eventually I had it destroyed since it was useless. Id have loved to get a gift card for it. Lol.

Many of the folks putting these on have declared that they will no longer accept 3d printed guns, despite the fact that they are the very “ghost guns” that all the hysteria is about. There a couple of designs out there for 3d printed single shot .22 derringer types- I see this as being their only practical use (and in fact, that’s what people are “turning in”).

The only thing that makes me sad about living in the middle of Texas is that we don’t do this stupid crap here, and I can’t make any extra money that way with my 3d printers.

…yep. I guess I just don’t have a criminal mind.

Back in the day they had a gun buyback day here. I took five broken and not worth fixing junk guns and got 5 Walmart $25 gift cards for them. I then walked across the street to the Walmart and purchased a new Marlin Model 60 semiautomatic .22 rifle.

Those who feel themselves incompetent to safely store or use weapons shouldn’t have them. Same folks should probably turn in their old kitchen knives. I’m fine with voluntary gun turn-ins, except for the high possibility that the firearms actually belong to someone else, and the downside of the occasional historically valuable firearm being wrecked.

I’m curious as to whether this church has a proper FFL since it is reportedly transferring possession of large numbers of firearms.

Unwanted firearms = Oxymoron

Non compliance will result in a 3:00am meeting with officers of the state?.

That is a reference to one of my most favorite scenes in any movie.

"Obviously, it is an individual who commits an act of violence, but a weapon makes that act of violence possible."

If I get punched in the nose, is that an act of violence and, if so, should we all turn in our hands?

If we turn in our hands is it an act of violence if somebody puts my eye out on purpose with his elbow?

Do they take our elbows then?

Just sitting on the porch, wondering…

:-)

The other concern is “was the gun actually used in a crime recently?”
