2 Rocket Launchers Turned In During LAPD Gun Buyback (PHOTOS)

By Dennis Romero

Yesterday's LAPD gun buyback was so successful that two-hour waits and gift-card shortages were reported.

The department says it picked up 75 assault weapons as part of its no-questions-asked effort that saw $100 dollar cards handed out for handguns and long guns and $200 for the kind of rifle used in the Newtown tragedy. The LAPD says 901 handguns, 698 rifles, 363 shotguns will also be destroyed.

Good stats. But this is the one that got us saying WTF:

Cops picked up two -- count 'em two -- rocket launchers (!) (and not one, as other outlets are reporting), an LAPD official with close knowledge of the program told us. Holy hell why do people on our streets have military grade rocket launchers?​

Probably a phony incident concoted by the left wing control freaks to try and help the Gun control debate. Who the hell would trade their rocket launchers for $250.00 when they could wayyy more on the street for it. Yeah right, "no questions asked", what a coinkydink.
If some dude brought in rocket launchers, it doesnt matter what they say about "no questions asked", theyd do more than ask questions. Looks like See through libtard propaganda bullshit to me.

Gun Control Support Soars In New Polls

It's a HuffPo poll!

Here's one from CBS:

Poll: Inconclusive support for gun control - Political Eye - CBS News

Inconclusive. Meaning: Unsure. Can't draw a conclusion one way or another.

You're right and because of that some gun Rights Advocates have their own "Gun Buyback" or "Gun Rescue Programs":
“Buyback” Backfires, Again | Shooting Illustrated

A few weeks ago, Detroit police—in cooperation with the Archdiocese of Detroit and the nonprofit group Crime Stoppers—staged a no-questions-asked gun “buyback” at St. Cecilia’s Church. Last year, the St. Cecilia buyback netted 737 guns. This year, the total dropped significantly to 365. That’s because on Aug. 30, the program faced competition in the marketplace from Michigan Open Carry, Inc., and supporters of the “Legally Armed In Detroit” blog, who implemented a “gun rescue” rally across the street from the church, offering fair market value prices for quality firearms.

He says that police believe the "shoulder-fired" weapons are antiquated, decades-old, launchers from wars past often picked up by collectors or passed down to family members by veterans.

The article also points out they were non-working.

Duh, why were they non-working...?

They propel rocket grenades, but the official called them "non-working" because they did not have the "projectiles" with them. Thank God!?
