In my opinion yes if don...Does gun buy back work??? In my opinion yes if done correctly. When citizens bring back the guns they expect those guns to be destroyed as so to never see the streets again. Oh but in my City of Chester that's not the case. Especially when you have a police Commissioner that allow local gun dealers(Dusty Roads in particular) who is a personal friend of Commissioner Joe Bail I might add, to come in the CPD evidence room to take parts off of decommissioned fire arms so to fix and re-sale guns. I mean for real??? So let me get this straight, the CPD is now in the business of putting guns back on the street right??? Although this is not illegal according to State and Federal law it is Morally and Ethically wrong on every level. It totally undermines the whole buy back primus not to mention it's done unbeknownst to the City of Chester citizens. I mean, think about it. Can you imagine finding out that a gun you turned in was used to murder you son, daughter or a close friend etc. Just the thought turns my stomach. Hold up, is someone making money off of these acts of deceit??? Hmmmm I wonder an if so who??? Smh our administration is the worst. I'm thirsty impeachment anyone???

I agree with you, the guns that are sold back are broken or the good guys are the ones who are selling them. That leaves Pookie and Peanut with their guns waiting to used them as weapons of mass destruction. With that said, I'm keeping my guns and if Pookie or Peanut break in my place they will be confornted with a man bearing a weapon ready to blast without questions. Not one wishing he had not sold back his weapon for $40.00. Be ye also ready to shot when confronted. By the way, I am a licensed carrier. <br /><br />LWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086135269585425380.post-29465576463101782042013-03-15T11:10:59.028-04:002013-03-15T11:10:59.028-04:00I recommend giving the guys a Freakonomics a liste...I recommend giving the guys a Freakonomics a listen. They covered this very top recently. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.freakonomics.com/2013/02/14/how-to-think-about-guns-a-new-freakonomics-radio-podcast/" rel="nofollow">http://www.freakonomics.com/2013/02/14/how-to-think-about-guns-a-new-freakonomics-radio-podcast/</a><br /><br />The say that most people that give guns to buy backs are the ones are the ones that wouldn't use the guns in a violent crime. They also estimated that a gun kills a person 1 every 10,000 years so you would need 10,000 guns in a buy back to prevent 1 murder. Of course that is an average and we all know in the real world one gun can kill more than one person but it's an interesting look at your questions.blkbamhttp://www.chesterpa.infonoreply@blogger.com
