War Philadelphia Police Ask People to Turn in Unwanted Guns as Violence Surges Across City - Stupid Pigs Target Citizens Because They Can't Do Shit to "Peaceful Protesters"

CBS Philly / Archive


PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — With gun violence in Philadelphia at epidemic levels, local organizations are joining forces to try to make a difference. Philadelphia police and other groups are holding a “Home Gun-Check Campaign” this weekend.

They’re asking people to go through their homes, locate guns they don’t want and turn them in with no questions asked.

It’s been said bullets don’t discriminate. Unfortunately, we’ve seen that firsthand this summer in Philadelphia.

Seven-year-old Zamar Jones was killed on Aug. 1. A 6-year-old girl was pierced by a stray bullet that was fired into a crowd less than a week later. And two more children were struck this past weekend.

So now there’s a plea in the form of a gun check campaign from the police, city and religious leaders.

“Get those guns, run that room, see what’s in there. Find out what’s being hidden in your house. Take it out and turn it in,” City Councilmember Cindy Bass said.

Two churches — one in North Philly and the other in South Philly — will accept the firearms on Saturday, no questions asked.

“It must be stressed that community members who submit firearms will not be asked to produce identification. In addition, the submission of a firearm will not trigger an investigation of the person who relinquished it,” Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said.

This isn’t a buyback program, organizers are simply hoping to appeal to your conscience.

“You can possibly save their life and the lives of other people,” said Rev. Gregory Holsten with Janes Memorial United Methodist Church.

“You might be saving your child’s life because gun violence is as dangerous as coronavirus,” Councilmember Curtis Jones said.

Guns can be turned in this Saturday at Janes Memorial United Methodist Church and Tasker Street Missionary Baptist Church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Spoiler: What to do if the police show up to your door asking for gun gibs

1. Look through a peep hole or a window
2. Start recording a video
3. Ask them through the door what the hell they want
4. Tell them you're not opening your door and you can hear them just fine
   1. This part's important because they may lie and say they smell weed to justify confiscating your possessions
   2. That and they'll probably kill your dog
5. Tell them in no uncertain terms they do not have your permission to enter your house or take anything
6. If they persist, politely yet firmly ask them to leave

Forget defunding the police, defund these stupid "buyback" programs.

I love how they're implying that such weapons are the property of the state in the first place.

"We gave you your freedom now we want it back!"

Now stop me before I rant about how gun control is racist, etc.

Buybacks literally only disarm idiots

Never attribute to malice what is probably incompetence. ....

No it's safe to say this is a result of malice. If the suburbs in Washington state had no fire arms what would have antifa done? Pull white people out of their homes and beat or rape them while setting their house on fire.

The disarming of america is done with intent of making it easier to take over.

Not by street mob, but by those at the top.... the fact the mobs are "ruining" it all right now was never on the cards for those who kept proposing more gun control.

The stupidity was never seeing that pushing for no cops (because racism) in tandem with gun control would result in BLM storming the suburbs.

I should have said no CONSCIOUS malice, they ARE doing harm, but they are so stupid they think they're helping... like, a person so dumb as to think that they can perform surgery on a live human because they played "Operation" and don't understand why making a heart-shaped hole in your chest and reaching in with a pair of tongs will kill you. "But it works in the game".

And they never learn from the deaths that they're doing harm, just that there's something wrong with the patients.... and it can't be THEY who are killing them , they mean so good, it must be racism...

But the majority of this is all driven by Dunning-Kreuger levels of stupidity and ignorance, not a cackling desire to see people suffer. While there ARE those who subscribe to that idea of mass genocide of political nonbelievers, like Movie Bob, they alone can't get shit done without a bureaucratic class stuffed with idiots who think they're doing good.

They disarm idiots, but smart people whip up zip guns for $10 or less in parts at a hardware store to get traded in for hundreds.

 

[RejectedLynx]

How about - uh - no. Due to me not living in a city with this form of lunacy - I don't think we've had a gun buyback program for a long while. These type of programs is willingly putting your city at risk. It would be easier to team up with people who know how to use guns and gun safety. Though let's be real anything coming out of that shit-hole of a city wouldn't be useful at all. Gang violence is your problem, do your damn job.

Though tbh, if Granny or Laqueisha brought in her boy's guns - give them free health care/baby care or some ebt shit, you would probably get quite a bit more dumbasses.

 

[Bland Crumbs]

Just tell the police you are peacefully protesting. They will be required to leave you alone. No need for all that other nonsense.

I am peacefully protesting! Black Lives Matter!

Off they go.

 

[RA-5C Vigilante]

Buyback programs have NEVER worked.

The type of weapon handed in are shit like single-shotguns, hunting rifles, antique world war bolt actions and the like. Guns like Glocks, Sig Sauers, or whatever shit Hi-Point type garbage gangbangers love NEVER show up. And for rifles like the dreaded AR-47 death machine with chainsaw bayonet, no one hands that shit in. And the gangs that have access to that firepower already pay the police off to ignore them anyway.

Let's just call a spade a spook here. The Philly PD wants to look like they are helping the communities getting torn apart because the same community protested their existence and now are being paid back in their stupid naivety in blood and lead. The churches, still somehow looked up to, want to show the community they pretend to care and take their donation money so the pastor gets a Caddy SUV to drive to city hall and complain to the council till he gets paid off or in some kind of power. The only money gained is the people who get rid of shit that didn't work anyway. The program will be a failure, crime goes down because all the criminals die or get tired of heading to the ER all the time, things cool, a few years later, it goes to shit again, start the cycle again.

These people are lucky Frank Rizzo is dead, he would've broken limbs, shot people down, run his own unmarked van op, and maybe ride in on a horse and shatter skulls with a sword sized baton.

EDIT: Wait they aren't even offering money, they want people to listen to their "conscience".
Fucking retards in charge.

 

[Socrates]

Lol the city government is desperately trying to get some kind of control of the situation without spending any money (because there is none left). This is still only the tip of the iceberg ladies and gentlemen, the shitshow is about to hit its climax.

 

[DeadFish]

I heard rumors the buy backs end up laundering firearms to criminals. So good luck with that.

 

[Leibowitz]

It sounds more like they’re trying to get Ray’quan’s baby mama to turn in his gat while he’s not looking, rather than door to door searches.

Or to get Ray'quan Jr's mom to dig through his room and find the guns he's been posing with on Instagram, before he meets the fate that awaits all teenage gangbanger wannabes.

Buybacks literally only disarm idiots

Only if "trusting your wife" qualifies one as an idiot. (Which is a bit harsh, in my opinion.) It's consistently much easier to convince women that guns are babykillers than men, but no easier to convince them that stealing is okay. The point of the buybacks is to give them a way to be rid of the scary guns while also giving them a moral "out" in the form of cash that they can give their husbands or spend on the family. "I'm not stealing the gun, he likes it so much I could never do that. I'm just trading it for money to do something that matters to both of us! Hooray for compromise!"

I really doubt that more than 15% of guns bought back are sourced from anything other than this.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Yeah, you can shoot the fuckers who are trying to break into your or your neighbors home. Plenty of lives saved that way.

While being a blatant lie, how does giving up your gun save your child? If anything your putting them at greater risk since you can no longer protect them. Not like the police can actually do anything now thanks to BLM.

Criminals will not give up their guns willingly and good people need guns more than ever as police have been gimped to high heaven. Such a stupid idea.

So they're basically saying gun violence is a myth?

Marrying a woman who can't handle a gun makes you an idiot

No lives matter. Black, white, blue, whatever. I'm honestly tired of this crap.

Never attribute to malice what is probably incompetence. They propose this stuff not because they're puppets of criminals, but because they're just so STUPID they think it will work.

Or they know it won't work, but, have to "do something" or else they'll be voted out as the incompetents they are for failing to get crime under control. They slashed the police budget to the point they can't arrest you for shooting someone, so the next best thing is to ask you to stop, pretty-please.

It's taken 30 years instead of 22 minutes, but, the plot to the children's morality play in cartoons where the "nice" person replaces the "mean boss" at the helm of a company/school is reaching it's crescendo in our cities. You know it goes.... The new chief executive at the top thinks that just being your friend and letting you do whatever feels good is the way to go, and the institution falls apart because nobody has a clear command structure to work within and a total lack of discipline means those who are TRYING to do the right thing are helpless when the guy at the next desk refuses to do his part.

Turns out what was "mean" to a casual observer was just the necessary force to keep society working. And that lesson is finally playing out in real life because dozens and dozens of successive civic governments felt that being nice and giving free cookies to misbehaving people would solve all the problems.... and when things go out of control, not only are they caught off-guard, but they can't even envision any way to respond.

They never dreamed their ideas wouldn't work, and using force is so alien to them they'd rather die than fix the mess.

That's what all this is, PC-ism , come home to roost, turns out you can't make a functioning society by giving everyone free gibs a trophy and never jailing spanking brats...

These cities need the "firm but fair meanie-head" boss back, pronto.

Eh i dont think you need to be mean per see but what you need is being able to react appropriately some people can be trusted some need to be overseen even if they are not malicious.

 

[PorkLord]

This is just a thinly veiled attempt to get people to turn in other people's guns. Karen doesn't like her neet son's big scary black gun so she takes it to the turn in, no questions asked.

 

[President Joe Biden]

No lives matter. Black, white, blue, whatever. I'm honestly tired of this crap.

White lives matter, I like having running water and electricity. Democrats are dumb as fuck but at least they know who keeps the lights on. For now.

Nature eventually kills all

 

[MembersSchoolPizza]

I entirely support this.

In fact, I'm going to get on board.

People of <my city> are free to turn in their unwanted guns to me, too. I will make sure they never fly out of your drawer and murder your loved ones all on their own, as guns are wont to do.

I mean... free guns! That's an awesome scam! Then you turn around and sell them to a pawn shop for pennies on the dollar, but still. And you might get a few valuable ones worth keeping or selling individually, too.
