"There was an overwhelming response to the Austin Police Department’s first ever “Guns for Groceries” event. Hundreds of people turned out Saturday to exchange unwanted guns for vouchers to buy groceries. "The line is very shocking to me. We had people in the parking lot at 7:30 a.m. waiting to turn their guns in, and the event did not start until 9 a.m,” APD’s Sgt. Ely Reyes said. Department officials ran out of grocery vouchers after about two and a half hours. APD asked the community to turn in any gun, no questions asked. In exchange, people got anywhere from $10 to $200 in grocery store gift cards." It's bad enough when governments want to take everything you have but to entice people with food to turn in their guns is pretty bad. There are 2 ways to look at this, one is it might actually get some guns off the street, second it only gives thieves another reason to break into houses and steal more guns. It is pathetic for any police department or government to do this. The politicians and police in this country make me sick. And to think I served this country for over 3 years risking my life so they could pull an idiotic stunt like this. Had I known over 40 years ago what our country would end up like I would have told them to shove it.

Probably a big percentage of them. I assume this was probably done in the poorest part of the city because you know the rich don't give up their guns.

I guess those guns should be be utilized to track killers who just recently turn hungry on the streets. |
