Where did they drag up this moron City Councilman, Mitch Englander?

“Had we done this all for one gun, it would have been a success — one less victim,” Englander said.

Mr. Englander apparently believes that 100% of guns are used in a crime at some point. SMH.

Looks like several vintage Chinese AKs...huge shame they will be destroyed.

I find it amusing that many of the same (left-wing) politicians that cite research on climate change fail to read/follow the research on this topic. Just goes to show how we all lose when we play partisan politics.

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot

"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker

A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell

"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...

For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

Honestly I don't care. If you're stupid enough to turn in your guns for far less than they are worth, that's on you.

Not my tax dollars being handed out.

LA Times is a liberal rag short on facts and long on emotion, and us commenting on such here on WaGuns isn't going to change that.

I think they keep using the same "Rocket Launcher Tube" at more than one of these "Show and Tell's".


My first thought when I saw "800 guns" was "in LA that probably just disarmed one city block". :bigsmile:

Destroyed the evidence, like the rest of the innocent guns. How to get away with murder...the politician version.
