Gun surrender in Dallas

https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/n...o-police-through-new-initiative/2701965/

Makes me sad, some great old firearms were seen in the pics. I’m sure all the ones turned in we’re done so by criminals…

Idiots could’ve got more than $100 if they’d a sold them probably

OMG!

Can you buy scratch-offs with gift cards? 'Just axing.

Sho ya can cuz! Just cash bro

What a bunch of dipchits, I bet that little campaign really made that town safer.

Where is DeSoto?

Misspelled and clueless. Wake up.

When I was a kid every so often in San Antonio they had an auction at the Police Station selling stuff they had confiscated. Guns, tools, everything. I got a 22 single shot for $2. Times have changed.

It was a test. You passed.

I’m sure all the ones turned in we’re done so by parents of criminals…

I saw this comment:

Don't forget, TX law requires you to sell/auction all those guns to licensed dealers. You cannot destroy them.



Is it true?

being as most in desoto are from chicago, la, or atl. I would say its a false

At times you have to do it yourself if you want it done right.


"DeSoto is a city in Dallas County, Texas, in the United States. A US Census update in July 2019 estimated that DeSoto had a population of 52,988. DeSoto is a suburb of Dallas and is part of the Best Southwest area, which includes DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, and Lancaster"

nearly 300 guns , then the video in the link shows 270 guns with the title saying 250 guns . Sounds like a bunch of horse poo.

No, that is not true at all.

This is in Desoto. Suburb of Dallas with 50k people.

5 murders is a lot for 6 months for a city that small. This is a desperation PR move.

Idiots, every one of them.

Not true.The sheriffs office called every once in awhile to have us cut guns up with a torch where they were useless,every moving piece.Don't know what they did with the scrap metal but we did our job.

Libs that inherited a gun collection turning them in to “get them off the streets.”

Those bolt action deer rifles are popular in the hood ya know.

I bet I can guess which way they vote

Last election was 85 percent democratic vote.

didnt see anything id want. mostly .22 bolt rifles that Grandpa shot rabbits with when Desoto was dirt.. M66 Remington Nylon .22 POS and a Ruger Redhawk POS.

$100 buys a lot of Cool Cigarettes and Peach Black n Mild's and 40oz Mickey's Malt

I would have bought them all for 5k and not thought twice. Such morons

No, they will get a destruction order signed by a court.

" we got a bunch of hand me down guns out of libs closets and now Desoto isn't hood rat anymore" Desoto Police Probably

Watch here comes Creekrunner. Correcting you to DeSoto.

"There's no fool like an old fool."

I knew you wee getting up in age correcting every little capitalization. D not d.

Desoto, Duncanville, and Pleasant Grove some of the Crown Jewels of Dallas...........

Most were probably garbage guns anyway.

DesoYo, Drunkandvile and there is nothing Pleasant about the Grove!

Learn how to recognize if your kid is a liberal and don't leave them any firearms in your will. For crying out loud.

It's sad for me to see what these suburb cities of Dallas have become......when I grew up in Oak Cliff in the 60s and 70s DeSoto was a great thriving suburb that was safe to live in and great schools to send your kids.......

It sure was and in the 80s, it had the second highest per capita income in Dallas County.
Only Highland Park was higher.

Coming soon to another city near you. Maybe even your city.

I find that hard to believe.

Maybe a town like Irving or Coppell

Truth. DeSoto was even referred to as Highland Park South. Then something happened.

I never knew that, nor heard that

Bussing?

That happened to my neighborhood in Austin.

Years ago I remember a group sitting outside one of these "surrenders" outbidding the local officials and buying all the guns from the surrender-ers. I'd like to see more of that.

I can’t believe people will just throw away anything of value these days. Pawn shops would have given them something

If you watch the video, it’s a bunch of old bolt actions and pump shotguns. Presumably the point of the gun “buy back” was to remove guns from society that would be used in crime. How much crime is really being committed by thugs wielding pump shotguns and grandpa’s rusted out .30-06?

This is just another liberal PR stunt.

Probably not $100

Hell, if I had some Raven or Jennings pistols I would have turned them in for $100 gift card.

Knew a guy that lived there a long time ago. He told me when the busses started running in DSoto, it went downhill quick.

That and court ordered section 8 housing.

Lancaster too.

Hurts to see

Pitchfork we must have chewed up the same dirt. Spent 60s and early 70s 4 blocks from Kiest Park. Folks moved us to DeSoto in 75 to avoid the bussing in Dallas.
When we moved out there Tuft still ran a 200 head dairy operation on the north side.
Mary Kay, Lulu Roman, Bill Deer, Deon Sanders, Spud Webb, Dez Bryant just some of the hood rats that lived out there.

Bussing never came to DeSoto, it’s hard to bus kids if there is only one high school…
Its simply a matter of migration over 50 years, Oak Cliff to DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Duncanville and still going south today.
Less than 5% of the people I graduated with (178) still live on the south side…
It’s bad, but it ain’t south LA gangland bad.
Giving back firearms for a pittance of their value for a gift card=uninformed opportunist seeking immediate gratification.

Bird hunting guns in DeSoto? Yeah, something tells me those shotguns and other Fudd guns were "liberated" from collections of people who don't live in Desoto.

I plan to give mine away.

Well, hello there, ol' buddy.

Got a rusty old POS revolver i picked up on the road years ago i am saving for a buyback.
If i paint it black would i get assault weapon money ?

Flat black will get you a 15% bump. A punisher on the cylinder will get you another 5%.

tell them it "identifies" as an assault weapon.

Do you think they run the serial numbers to see if they have been reported stolen and then return them to the rightful owners before destroying them?

People that have guns stolen report them to their insurance and get paid so they don't own the guns anymore.

Yes

Wife had one stolen in McKinney.

Two years later, Mesquite PD recovered it while serving a warrant. She got it back.

Idiots

Ox don’t want his sold to a buy program so I doubt he’ll turn them over to a lib.

Not 1 desirable area.

Maybe if its multiple guns or a high end gun. I've had a pistol stolen out of my truck and just reported it to the police, it wasn't worth making an insurance claim on.

My buddy whos house was broken into 7 or 8 years ago had a gun stolen from him in the process. His insurance paid him for all his loses including the gun. Well fast forward to last month, he got a call that the gun that was stolen was in the possession of the police because someone tried to pawn it. He drove his happy but down to the police station, signed some paperwork and got the gun back.

How much per gun? Wonder if they accept snap guns. LOL
