Ok We-the-People, I think I know you now, from your description of the 2 junk revolvers and handing out the pamphlets.

Me: black SUV, multicolored sign on the vehicle, OC Beretta 92FS:

We talked briefly a few times, good to meet ya.

Yep, 485 total, including 4 "assault" rifles. If they were in good shape, I would have liked to snag one of them on the cheap, oh well.
Five hours, sunburn, and didn't find anything I was interested in making an offer for, but it was still fun and interesting.

Not sure why you get a warning from the other link, it's Strimedia.com, but play it safe, I covered the main points the author made in the article.

Yes, we talked a couple of times. Sorry to hear that you didn't find anything you liked and had the opportunity to snatch up. I did see one "assault rifle" go to a private party (if an SKS is an assault rifle).

I'll be posting video on my youtube channel when I get it edited. First of the buyback, later of the weapons and firing them.
