Thank You, Captain Obvious

There’s Just One Problem With Gun Buybacks – They don’t work. [More]

You don’t say.

Now what other “commonsense gun safety laws” would you like to admit the truth about?

To protect all Americans, the federal government has passed many laws to restrict and limit firearm purchases. The offenders in this research, however, stated that none of these laws or statutes deterred them.

This is one of the problems when old stuff is disappeared off the net. Even though some if it may be archived, it still requires those of us who remember it to be around to find it and reintroduce it.

Jump the Shaq

Shaquille O’Neal helping sponsor gun buyback program in Dallas [More]

When are departments going to learn “star cop” liabilities can outweigh any perceived PR value?

Let’s hope if one of the ignorant people he’s urging to handle and transport a gun ends up shooting someone that victims and survivors go after Shaq’s deep pockets. And the city’s, because they elected the sheriff.

Let’s ask:

Tripling Down

RFK students are making a 6 string guitar from our dismantled guns from our #GuntoGardens buyback program [More]

Think anything’ll come of this?

How about a way to derail other events by contacting city attorneys and reminding them that incentivizing people who don’t know the first thing abnout guns, including how to clear them, to handle and transport them, is not “gun safety,” but instead created a “gun liability” for them if a mishap ensues…?

That apparently worked in Farmington.

How many felonies will the “authorities” who would destroy you and me for continue to turn a blind eye to? And when finally forced to notice, what gaslighting excuses will the offer to “justify” no real punishment?

For the Children?

Gun Control Group Gave Guns To Students, Posted Evidence Online!!! [Watch]

You have to get five minutes into this to get to the relevant part. Their title made me think there might have been a development I had missed in my report, but it turns out the screen shot they’re using to make their case is from two + months ago.

Where the guns are now is a question I asked:

Have investigators taken the guns into custody yet? Are they still in the same condition as in the photo or have then been “legally” destroyed since it was taken? If so, by whom and when? If done after an investigation was announced and before being surrendered, would that constitute willful destruction of evidence?

You can learn more about the school program in my initial report.

And it’s nice to see the idiots doubling down on their militancy and figuing it’s a pruident legal move to publicly attack the sheriff.

New Mexico Anti-Gun Group Investigated for Breaking Gun Laws

Gun owners were quick to join in, pointing out the hypocrisy of gun-grabbers allegedly breaking gun laws they lobbied for and the delicious irony of the prohibitionists “hoist with their own petard.” [More]

I wonder if it’s a coincidence that the city backed down from participating in a highly publicized event just a few hours after I warned them the chief’s public admissions created a potential legal nightmare for them — and if similar warnings can be used to derail other “buybacks” where they’re incentivizing people with no safety training to handle and transport guns…

We’re the Only Ones Rocket Surgeons Enough

A rocket launcher was recovered by Santa Clara County Sheriff’s deputies during a gun buyback event in San Jose… [More]

Did they get it from Charlie Beck?

Or Seattle PD?

Hey, if you see a con that works, use it. There’s a reason street hustlers still take in the marks with Three-Card Monte.

And who better to pull off a scam than the Santa Clara County Sheriff & Co…?

Much Ado About What, Exactly…?

To be able to say a gun is destroyed, disposal companies crush or cut up a single piece that federal law classifies as a firearm: the receiver or frame that anchors the other components and contains the required serial number. The businesses can then sell the remaining parts as a kit: barrel, trigger, grip, slide, stock, springs — essentially the entire gun, minus the regulated piece. [More]

That’s breathless “real reporter” Mike McIntire’s big scoop?

The Newsraper of Record doesn’t trust its readers with any part of what was once a firearm and demands those be reserved for that violence monopoly they want to see imposed?

Not that I’m defending the economic fascist “public/private partnership” gun destruction companies, even if some unintentional good does come out of their little sweetheart deals…

New Mexico Gun ‘Buyback’ an Exercise in Contradictions

But “Come on down, and you’re on your own” is what the Farmington Police Department, New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence, and the “real reporters” at The Journal consider “gun safety,” and that’s what they’re urging everyone to take part in? And if someone gets hurt or worse due to this deliberately indifferent incentivized ignorance, have they run the chief’s admission by their respective legal departments to consider against the familiar civil complaint words “knew or should have known”? [More]

I wonder if the city attorney is willing to expose Farmington to the unsafe gun handling liability the chief just confessed to the media, along with all the other questionable legal practices ? Why not ask?

‘Scheme’ is Right

The Western Australian government is set to introduce new gun laws, which could be the first of their kind in Australia. A limit for how many guns a licensee can own will be proposed, seeing the number of firearms capped at ten for competitive club shooters. Individual recreational gun users will only be allowed to own five. A voluntary buyback scheme is in the works for those impacted by the proposed changes. The proposed new laws will make Western Australia the first state in the country to impose a firearm cap. [Watch]

Leave it to “real reporters” to call mandates “voluntary” with a straight face.

Hey, are we actually obligated to defend this drunken suicide cult?

We’re the Only Ones Arming Enough

Miami Police Department bought guns off the street for Ukraine [More]

And what did they do with them?

Turns out the “buyback” was from last year.

The “Only Ones” claimed “Success!”

Kevin Sona and Lee Williams called “BS!”

I imagine they’ve got all the ITAR “t’s” crossed and “i’s” dotted…?

I don’t suppose sending guns to citizens protecting OUR border from foreign invaders is on anybody’s to-do list…?

If You See Something Say Something

The guns will be collected anonymously, unloaded and stored in a locked safe. They will be turned in to Cleveland Police Department’s 4th precinct headquarters every day. [More]

Brandon can accept transfers without background checks? And with “prohibited persons” on staff? Does ATF know about this?

Hey, they don’t have a “No Guns” sticker on the door, do they?

I didn’t imagine there was much demand for Fois Gras and Cuisses de Grenouille among the gang bang set…

Does the state have the authority to ensure its “No Questions Asked” promise will keep the feds at bay on its “engaging in the business of dealing in firearms” prohibition for non-FFLs? Now that he’s on state and fed radar, I hope he gets qualified tax advice on how to report that.

Idiots Prove Idiom

“I don’t want that at home, I don’t even know how to shoot,” said the Houston, Texas, retiree before handing them over to the authorities… “There is really no other safe way than this to part with it,” said the 60-year-old… “We have to get rid of them,” the 69-year-old man said, handing over seven weapons.

It really is true. There’s no fool like an old fool.

We’re the Only Ones Not Adding Up Enough

233 firearms collected in Summit County gun buyback event [More]

So if “233 firearms were collected at the event and $34,325 in gift cards were given out,” even given the maximum payout of $100 per working gun (which assumes no non-working guns paid out at $25 each were collected), that opens the question of whose pockets the other (at least) $11,025 in gift cards ended up in…

The “authorized journalist” who wrote this up probably didn’t want to press the issue because math is racist.

Tangentially-related UPDATE

I wanted to check out the Summit County Sheriff’s social media to see if they were bragging about this so I could ask them about their addition, and the cover of their magazine was the top post:

Every supermarket I go to around here warns against putting children in the car basket, and indeed, the Consumer Product Safety Commission warns in an alert:

Every year, thousands of children are treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for falls from shopping carts. Falls from shopping carts are among the leading causes of head injuries to young children and most often occur when children stand up in the child seat or the cart basket.

So it figures the same “Only Ones” encouraging people who may not know the first thing about guns (or how to clear them) to handle and transport them are happily displaying how oblivious they are to basic child safety in general on the cover of their quarterly bulletin.

Then again, consider where the buck stops and the party that she represents.

We’re the Only Ones Victorious Enough

Nearly a dozen guns taken off Austin streets in Gun Surrender Program [More]

That’s pathetic when you can’t just say “11” and have to blow it up by one.

Nice of the moronic “Only Ones” functionary to admit “buybacks don’t work.”

Besides, “surrender” makes them sound so much more awe-inspiring. And it’s closer to what government has in mind anyway.

Ohio Gun ‘Buyback’ Posturing Will Mask Democrat Failures, Endanger Public

Here’s my challenge for the County Council and Sheriff Featheree: You’re enticing people of unknown abilities to handle and transport guns. You’ll no doubt tell them to make sure it’s not loaded. How will you ensure they know how to first safely handle it and then safely do that? [More]

What could ensure more “commonsense gun safety” than enticing novices who don’t know the rules to handle and transport guns they may not know how to clear?

As an aside, there must have been a copyright issue I didn’t know about because I picked a different photo than the stock one they used– those guns don’t look like pieces of rusted and worn-out junk at all.
