I found this line funny. One man brought in a Soviet-era semiautomatic carbine. "If that got into the wrong hands of gangbangers, they could kill several people within minutes," Woods said."
I didn't realize that Soviet era semiautomatics were more deadly than the others. I sometimes chuckle when I read such idiotic comments until I realize that this is serious stuff.

"One guy said he had just got laid off from his job," Woods said. "He turned in five guns and said it would really help him to put food on the family's table."

I wonder what this guy will do should the shelves at the grocery stores become bare? Guess he didn't think about the possibility that he might have to hunt for his families supper some day. Not to mention protect his family from raiders that might invade his home looking for something to eat.

Dumbasses!

They say that deputies check to see if the guns had been used in a crime, then destroy them. I wonder if they check to see if they have been stolen so that they can be returned to their owners.

Gun "Buy Backs" are evil. They do not reduce crime, they take up valuable resources that could be productively used elsewhere, and they condition the population to turn in firearms to authorities.

Any AK today will go for $500 and up with no effort at all. This individual is either the stupidest person on Earth, earth a thief who had no idea he had more than a "gun" to get rid of.
