Thanks for the Money Groot

  • Guns Save Life members netted our second biggest haul ever as we once again turned in broken-down, often rust-laden junk for perfectly good cash at a July 13th Chicago gun “buyback.”

    GSL will use the proceeds from this event to fund organized youth shooting programs, including sending young people to the nation’s longest-running NRA Youth Shooting Camp in Bloomington.

    I serve as GSL’s executive director. On Saturday morning, I and an undisclosed number of my fellow GSL member patriots turned in 23 guns and three pellet guns. Staff at the event mistook one of the pellet guns for a real gun and issued us a total of 24 $100 debit cards and two $10 cards, for a total of $2,420.
We have to wonder if Groot will find it amusing that Chicago taxpayers end up funding an NRA program. If you don't regularly follow The Truth About Guns website, you ought to.

When a business sells a dangerous product, they have to label it as such. If they don't they get sued. It's too bad these democrat run hell holes of violence can't get sued for not labeling parts of their cities as dangerous. Of course, it would be racist according to democrats, except maybe a city like San Diego, where it's sort of republican, or Dallas, it's sort of republican also. I went to New Orleans a couple of years back. It was a trip I planned since my college days that just never happened. Well, some fool tried to pick my pocket and my loving wife saw him reach for my wallet and she grabbed his hand and made such a commotion that the thieves all left in a hurry. There was a team of like 3 of them. Never grab a mans money, the wife has 1st dibs on it. At any rate, New Orleans should come with a warning, I don't need it, my family doesn't either, we know what happens in cities. But some poor bumpkin from Kansas? I'd love to see the marxists in this hell hole scream how unfair a warning label is on a whole neighborhood.

So when you venture out of your cesspool city to look for food, because there is none, if the bands of savages roaming the streets don't get you, you will find no welcome mat at our farms in the country.

I'm glad to see the word, buyback, in quotes. Anyone with an IQ above that of a rutabaga knows you can't 'buy back' something you never owned in the first place.

BTW, in case anyone's wondering the first known 'Buyback Program' was in 1974, in good old Baltimore, MD, USA. It was allegedly the idea of the Police Commissioner, Donald Pomerleau. But the Mayor was a Democrat and I have a feeling it was his bright idea.

Many years ago as a tact Sgt, I took a call from an elderly woman who wanted to turn in her deceased husbands six guns. I told her to make sure a family member wasn’t interested in the guns but she was adamant about turning them in. I told her if she holds off for a couple days, she could bring them to a turn in being held within the district & get $100 per gun.
She stated she had no means of transportation & wouldn’t feel safe taking public transportation to the turn in. I convinced her to hold onto the guns for a couple more days & made arrangements to have a tact car pick her up that morning & bring her to the turn in. The woman was very thankful for her $600 and was escorted back home!

Concealed Carry is the best deterrent to murder and mayhem in Chicago. The Murder Mayor wants gun turn in to be a solution to Chicago's crime problem. The Socialist Mayor will look in any direction and provide any excuse for the gun problem in the city but not blame the offender in the Community. Your sober and serious talk about crime and poverty sound so righteous and the lapdog media buys into the same crap for the last 60 years.

Keep peddling that sophomoric line of thinking as the Community keeps bleeding out on the city streets. Take a look at yourself in the news clips of you getting tough on crime. You look like the a angry little girl that can't get her way.

This weekend 8 killed and 34 shot. Hey, what are you doing for us on the RED LINE. Another week of stabbing and murder on the Red Line again. Nice work Mayor with only 48 families traumatized and ruined forever this week. What's the new strategy for this weekend. How are you gonna stop Dude, Inc. What's it going to be at this weeks Reckoning session with Special Ed and his staff of Mutts. Can't wait to hear the new strategy or better yet the joke of the week.

The truth of the matter is they tried to get off cheap and hire 1 goof in a tiny boat to track a vicious predatory animal and allowed it to escape into an unfamiliar urban environment. It took over a week to hire trained hunters and fence in the area as a CYA measure but if anyone gets hurt its on them. They should have flown in experts from Fla or La on day 1.

Chicago Lawmaker Encouraging Concealed Carry
Jul 15, 2019 | nickgale
By Nick Gale, WLS-AM 890 News

(CHICAGO) After another violent weekend that saw eight people killed and at least 32 others wounded, one lawmaker is taking action by encouraging his constituents to arm themselves.

Bullets from a shooting that left a 22-year-old dead in the Austin Neighborhood on the West Side Sunday also found State Rep. La Shawn Fords (D-Chicago) car.

Bullets were also found down the block, lodged in a love seat in a nearby home in the 800 block of North LeClaire Ave.

Ford tells The Mancow Show on WLS-AM 890 that he is encouraging his residents to arm themselves against the violence.

I think about it all the time, Ford said of the shootings that plague his community. Thats why Im working with a concealed carry instructor and were going to go through the neighborhood and were going to encourage people to get their concealed carry license because it makes no sense for people not to have the protections that they need.

The shooting remains under investigation.

Does the city of Chicago have a federal firearms license? They’re likely violating their own gun laws too with these buy backs. Im all for getting guns out of the wrong hands. So very often, the collectibles wind up getting misplaced. Knowing how corrupt the Chicago government is, I’m betting there’s some cash and guns changing hands. I feel all collectibles should be auctioned off by a FFL gun dealer to any qualified buyer. That would be a better return of money to the taxpayer. I know, wishful thinking.

I just read where Albuquerque NM just had a buy back too. They took in 416 guns and ran out of money before the event was over. They’re just as corrupt as Chicago. They have the same shitty judges and district attorneys. They’re also #1 in auto thefts nationwide.

Many years ago as a tact Sgt, I took a call from an elderly woman who wanted to turn in her deceased husbands six guns. I told her to make sure a family member wasn’t interested in the guns but she was adamant about turning them in. I told her if she holds off for a couple days, she could bring them to a turn in being held within the district & get $100 per gun. 
She stated she had no means of transportation & wouldn’t feel safe taking public transportation to the turn in. I convinced her to hold onto the guns for a couple more days & made arrangements to have a tact car pick her up that morning & bring her to the turn in. The woman was very thankful for her $600 and was escorted back home!

AMAZING STORY!

Surprised the tac guys didn't pinch her!

.....They’re almost always exclusively in “the community” and not really advertised outside “the community”
In fact at one of the previous buybacks a black Sgt. told a male white( retired copper), that he couldn’t turn in any guns.
It’s a pretty racist program.

The race pandering part is taxes are paid out.

The race basis is the part, unadmitted to, that acknowleges that those within the selected communities are not trust worthy bearing firearms.

The racist objection here is that only those of a specific race can avail themselves of tax financed tomfoolery. N this there is a basis for valid racial discrimination, which is unlawful.

Said unlawful racial discrimination committed by a sworn law enforcement employee merely increases the violation of law.

I work for Park District and the bosses are in full panic mode.over that stupid gator. They treated it like a family feel good story and huge concession stand $$$. The truth of the matter is they tried to get off cheap and hire 1 goof in a tiny boat to track a vicious predatory animal and allowed it to escape into an unfamiliar urban environment. It took over a week to hire trained hunters and fence in the area as a CYA measure but if anyone gets hurt its on them. They should have flown in experts from Fla or La on day 1. I'd hate to be the cop that gets the call of a gator attacking a child and has to shoot it. We all remember the cougar and how the crazy PETA people responded.

Yeah, I'm thinking that "Alligator Bob" was as about as credible as "Commander Ed" with his bullshit story about being needed back in Chicago because he was so important to an investigation. At least "Alligator Bob" can actually verify that he once caught an alligator (that escaped from a pet store in Lincolnwood). "Commander Ed" cant verify that he ever put handcuffs on anyone.

My problem with these "sanctioned" gun turn-ins, as a VC detective, was that you were guaranteed "no questions asked". So, If I murder dude on Friday night because he was eyeing my bitch up; on Saturday, I walk over to St. Sabina and turn in the murder weapon for $100. That's a win-win for Dude! No ballistic testing? Just turn it in and it disappears? And they wonder why the clearance rate is currently so low! DUMMY-CRATS! I'll never figure them out. My parents always voted for them, but at 89 years old, my mother recently told me that she'll never vote for another one. Hopefully, she gets to cast at least one more for Donald Trump and whatever person runs against Kim Foxx.

You'll be sent a free tickets to Hamilton that can only be used by you and verified with your identification. Then while you are gone, the size 12 Chicago key is used....well, you know the deal. Leave cookies and milk on the table for the Groot. She'll be with us and you'll want her to feel welcome!

No kidding!

Tact Superstars are NOTORIOUS for jumping on
senior citizens backs and "turning-in" heirloom
quality firearms...

Colt New Service.

Smith & Wesson New Century.
("Triple-Lock")

We even saw a Merwin Hulbert break-top
sitting on the table that that some
tacticool geniuses couldn't figure out
how to unload.

Several nitwits gathered around a 120
year old revolver and all scratching
their heads...

We got the hell away because surely as
shit stinks, somebody probably would've
dropped the hammer on the ONE round that
might have had a primer that WASN'T a dud...

"So howdafukdoyou..."
>Bang!<

Oh yeah...
Be nice to your Range Officers and follow the rules.

Ask them to point out the bullet holes in the wall
BEHIND them and see why they get crazy when there's
a deviation from the safety script.

Groot's main focus is protecting criminal illegal aliens. She is a sad excuse for a mayor of a city in the United States of America.

Haven't you heard? If you don't like a law, such as the immigration law, you can just ignore it now.

I'm not real fond of the state tax code, particularly with people like Madigan and Pritzker in office, so come April, I'm not going to file Illinois state income tax.

Referring us from Second City Cop to Mr. Minter's opinions is odd. He thinks the solution to gun violence is identifying the dangerously mentally ill and preventing them from shooting people. You think murders in Chicago are chiefly a mental illness problem? I don't. I think it's a savage youth problem--taking "youth" to mean fifteen to forty.

***Make sure you send a copy of your interaction over to Anthony Guglielmi. Perhaps you'll get a $100 for a happy story turn in!!

That happens to a lot of liberals when the antics of their constituents cost them money out of their own pocket. Fixing bullet holes in cars can be expensive.

Maybe you could have advised her/made arrangements for transportation so she could get to a gun shop, where she might have gotten a lot more than $600 for those guns.

It was sarcasm. Buy a sense of humor dude.

Besides, if it ever really gets that bad, they will not worry about getting us out of the house. They will just do a Czar Nicholas II on you and take the guns.

But, just in case, would free tickets to a monster truck rally be more to your liking? Or a little people throw contest? Or bare-knuckle fist fighting? MMA? One of them has to be up your alley?

So in your world, if somebody doesn't want to see Hamilton, these are the only possible types of entertainment they could enjoy?

You need to get out more.

Again, it was sarcasm. One thing is for sure. You need to purchase a personality with a side dish of humor.
