So, if it’s a stolen weapon, the burglary or theft case doesn’t
Get solved and there’s no prosecution…SA Brian Kramer has the authority not
To pursue or prosecute my or your crime (i.e., we are victims and the perpetrators go free?).. If it was my stolen gun,
I want the case to be prosecuted to the fullest extent
Of the law and want restitution for any other losses
Related to the gun theft…is this letting go of criminals
Part of king poes & the SA “equity” plan to “sorta build
Back better” by not prosecuting black criminals?
What if the gun was used in one of those recent black on
Black “drive-by’s”?….the gangbanger doesn’t get
Prosecuted? Sounds like someone may be able to
Get away with murder with this amnesty thing…I don’t
Like it…
So… How can it be called a “GUN BUY BACK” when it is also stated that “Each donor will remain anonymous, and the only information collected will be the manufacturer, model, caliber, and serial number of the surrendered firearm.”??? Note the term DONOR,
Will these “donated” guns be destroyed or will
Big Daddy’s put them back on the street? How much
Is the visa gift card for for each weapon?
