Sheriff's Deputy Gregory Anderson tags a gun after rendering it safe during the "Gifts for Guns" exchange at Lennox Middle School. [More]Gosh, is that all it takes to render a gun safe enough to have at a middle school, so that we don't all go stampeding in hysteria...?
A piece of removable plastic and a uniform...?
It must be that powerful "Only Ones" juju at work again. Thank goodness, I can swallow my cud again in contentment and oblivion...
Speaking of which, check out some of the quotes from the herd.
Peter Jacob's wife Carol insists on his castration, and like a good steer he complies. What he'll be prepared to do should he and she encounter a bull is something we dare not contemplate.
And the unidentified retiree is evidently secure enough in his location, prowess and prescience to know he no longer "needs" the means of self defense.
Sounds like more bulls... to me...
Speaking of which, funding for this came from the Sheriff's Department. Remember that next time Lee Baca tells you he doesn't have enough, and needs to raise sales taxes.
Talk about bs...
Well, what else do you expect in California? If those sheep are willing to cut off their own last possibility of self defense, then they don't deserve much sympathy.
ReplyDeleteBut I suspect there are still a lot of people there who remember the riots and understand that their safety does not come from the police.
The smart ones are keeping their mouths shut, and not attending LEO giveaways.
OK, lets count the crimes....
ReplyDeleteNot being too familiar with all the "laws" in the peoples republic of kalifornia I might need some help.
instant checks required for pistols sales?
waiting period?
gun and ammo transported in car together?
purchase of stolen property?
Possession of stolen property?
destruction of private property? (in the case of any stolen guns turned in and not returned to the rightful owner)
What are the odds that using those funds (homeland security cash involved here at all?) is likely to be illegal?
misappropriation of funds? If the cash if for combating crime how is a no questions asked event where guns are most likely sold by people NOT using them in crime a "reasonable" use of that money?
Does the school have cameras? Do the police have access to them to review the plate numbers since this was a drive by, err, through event?
OK, on to the feds...
gun free zone.
Conspiracy, they DID plan it.
If any guns were out of state....
Ya know, there's so damn many that they're encouraged to break it gets a bit pointless to document.
In fairness, a couple of zip ties and a uniform are not all that is required to render a firearm "safe" at a middle school. Since this program was carried out during school vacation, not having the student body around probably helped as well.
ReplyDeleteI would feel a lot better if Deputy Anderson there didn't have his thumb inside the trigger guard, "plastic safety band" or no. (I assume a "plastic safety band" is what would be called a "zip tie" in the hands of a private citizen, but in the hands of an LEO it magically changes identity, just like an AR-15 ceases to be an "assault weapon" and becomes a "patrol rifle" when it's issued to a cop.)
I'm not going to get pissy about these people getting rid of their guns. They don't want them any longer, that's their choice. Peter Jacobs' .22-cal pistol isn't going to do him much good; he lives in LA County, so he has zero chance of getting a CCW permit anyway (though I'd hope he buys something better to replace that PoS). What does perturb me is that the examples cited in the article all seem to be of perfectly legally owned firearms, so I have to wonder why the owners didn't simply sell them?
Sheesh - someone should go stand out in front of those events holding a billboard for gunbroker.com. It's really a seller's market right now after all.
