Oakland & San Francisco giving up their guns has ALOT to do with a specific crime that is still under investigation that happened over a week ago to 2 people who were pretty well known in the area. This happened because some people who were in a credit card fraud ring thought this girls boyfriend was a 'snitch' and this is what happens to 'snitches' ... I think this is the reason ALOT of people were doing this specifically in the bay area and oakland
Before they were beaten, bound, gagged and left to die on a Visitacion Valley street Sunday night, a 26-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman had been viciously attacked and shot inside a San Bruno Avenue home, according to a police report released Wednesday..

???? Uh……. How in the heck would an event like that make me want to sell my guns, legal guns or not!!!!!!!! Just the opposite! After hearing about an event like that, I don’t care if the gun is only worth 20 dollars! As long as it will shoot, I am going to keep it, and the ammo, within arms reach at all times! Selling my gun for 200 dollars would be the farthest from my mind. I don’t care about the profit, I want the gun!
Believe the right wing rubbish all you like, it doesn't change scientific fact.

This is scary. First, who in the right mind would surrender their firearms to the government for a lousy $200. Second, with America at the brink of financial disaster, how could anyone trust the government (local or otherwise) to honor an I.O.U.?
If the government wants my guns, they can have them, but they're gonna have to fork over more than $200 a piece for them... It'll have to be enough for me to buy bigger and better guns... and cash is king. No I.O.U.s accepted.edit on 23-12-2012 by Underworlds because: typo
Looks like a pile of old shotguns mostly. Lots of single shots in there worth about 80$ a pop if that. Cant see any assault weapons. And whos going to turn in one of those worth about 800 to 2500$ of 200$.
Looks like possibly on the back table, directly in front of the guys in the background, a handful of AKs and variants, and maybe a few large caliber guns. But, yeah, for the most part a bunch of most likely inoperable JUNK...

As you may know many of the SKs that found there way into the US in the 80s and 90s were junk surplus. Many had bent barrels.

"San Francisco And Oakland Crowds Hand Over Guns In Buyback"

(visit the link for the full news article)
In San Francisco and Oakland on Saturday, citizens brought their guns to sell to the police in return for cash. Every volunteer who returned a gun was $200 richer walking away. The line was so long in San Francisco that there was no cash left after lunchtime and I.O.U.s were substituted instead.
Oakland’s police chief, Howard Jordan, said, "When we remove guns off our streets that could be used in a crime, we reduce the possibility of our youth and community being a victim.”
There’s only one problem with this scenario: in all likelihood, it’s the law-abiding citizens returning g
