destruction of firearms

 This guy in front of me turned in a new ak and glock 22 for destruction and refused to let me buy them even though I happened to have lots of cash on me.  :'(

Apparently his girlfriend made him melt them and not sell em. Id probably rather turn in my gf for destruction! Even the officers behind the window were trippin n making offers. There was a crowd of officers that wanted to see what was going on.

P-whipped to da max!!

If she used the "If you love me, you'll turn in your guns" ploy, he should have considered:  Why does that not work the other way around as well?  If SHE loves HIM, she'd let him keep his guns to make HIM happy.

What a dummy for two reasons. One for being whipped and unless she was there with him, he should have sold them and kept the cash for himself.

She sounds like the kind who would ask to see the destruction receipt!

As far as him lying about turning them in/selling them, honesty is going to be the LEAST of their problems in this relationship, I predict!   :wacko:

Just thinking ...

I hope they break up in the next few months.  It would teach him an important lesson.

Love has no conditions.  If it does, it's not really the kind of love that will last to begin with ...

On a related note:

Officers stunned when woman drops off $40,000 WWII German rifle to be destroyed

Quote
A World War II assault rifle that belonged to an SS officer was handed in to a gun buy-back organised by police in Connecticut.

The rare find, which is worth up to $40,000, would have been sent home by an American soldier who had taken it from a prisoner of war or a German he had killed.

The gun was developed in 1944, holds a 30-round magazine and can shoot 500 rounds per minute.

Maybe they were used in a heinous crime on the mainland and needed to be destroyed.

Who would do what he did ! It doesn't make any sense.

I can kind of understand where shes comimg from if she didnt want guns in the house if theyre living together, but to deny him the thousand dollars he could have easily recouped is just ridiculous and selfish.
The guy seemed so shame to say hes not allowed to sell it.

I was at HPD one time and saw the same type of crap go down......guy turned in 7 guns.....everyone in line wanted to buy them....his GF wanted them turned in.

Even the guys at the window told him to take them to a shop to take it off his hands.  Several people made offers and he refused.....so sad.....

Not Allowed ????!!!!!

That was me thinking what my response would be to my wife/girlfriend if she told me turn in my guns and I'm not allowed to sell them.

I feel bad for the guy.  :(

I feel worse for Jaynick cause he could have scored a mean deal.  :geekdanc:

Edit:
Actually had to edit this before Aiea78 called BS.
I was only "allowed" by the wife to buy guns a few years ago.

Maybe this was for the best ... this guy obviously can't be trusted with firearms ...

...  too emotionally unstable, lacking common sense & good judgement!!

You should've offered to melt them for him ;). You could've said something like, "I'll pay you to transfer ownership to me, and then I'll personally melt them down with my acetylene torch. These police officers can't melt these in an environmentally safe and clean way as I do. I know your anti-gun, save the Earth girlfriend will appreciate my environmentally sound way of destroying these evil, evil killing devices."

If he said he wanted to watch them be melted down, then you could just say you want to spare him that 'pain'.  ;D

Getting serious now, an AK and Glock 22! Sounds like this guy has good taste in guns, not in girlfriends. I bet she buys him a rape whistle and pepper spray as substitutes.

Could have been worse.
It might have been a colt AR and a Colt 1911.
