Reminds me of that article a few years back when a woman in Connecticut brought an StG 44 that her father had brought back from WWII to a police buyback. Fortunately some of the officers recognized what it was and let her sell it instead of taking it to destroy it.
The Fact that the Story of the Old Lady who was Told not to Sell the STG 44 in her Possession for $300 and a Wendy's coupon and Instead helped her Offloaded to a Reputable Collector for what the Gun was actually worth is the Exception and not the Rule.
They supposedly destroy all the guns they buy back, but a lot of cops end up with them in their safes at home. My former brother in law was a deputy, and he told me as much.
I was a "participant" in the Seattle gun buyback about a decade ago. Paid $800 for 6 firearms including a WWI Enfield and an M1 Garand that saw combat and had matching serial numbers. *To add more to the story* - I was also the one who discovered the "anti-aircraft missile" and tried to keep the guy from turning it in. It was a training tube and the idiot thought it was a "bazooka". I told him I wanted to buy it simply so it wouldn't end up in the papers as a story about getting an anti-aircraft missile "off the streets". He wanted some insane amount of money for it. I declined. He tried to turn it in and the tube was confiscated and he was temporarily detained.
Damn nice find I highly respect your effort to save such nice historical collectors pieces whoever carried those rifles back in the must be proud to know they weren't destroyed by tyrants.
@@manubishebuying and selling guns with the intent to profit without a license is already a felony. Private transfers are just that, not to make profit
Glad I came across your video. Reminded me of our gun buyback here in Australia some 30yrs ago. We just had the biggest massacre and the government implemented a buy back where we just went to our local police station and got paid more for our guns than we actually paid for them new. It was such a weird experience walking into a police station with shotguns and all the police were calm. I only handed 1 shotgun in (Mossberg 500) and kept a few rifles I had. There was no real register etc at the time so they was no way of tracking who had them so I wasn't going to give those ones up. The only thing was that the law was changed at that time so if you ever got caught with them down the track you would be in serious trouble. Over the years they have gun amnesty's where you can hand any guns in you still have with no questions asked. Every since then only the criminals had guns and still do.
Have you heard of the case from Hartford Connecticut where a woman tried to turn in her father’s StG-44 he brought back from WWII? Luckily the police recognized it and saved it from the crusher.

Gun buybacks are awesome events for those who know how to play it. In Seattle back around 2010 it turned into an open air bazaar. Tons of people in the alleyways and streets surrounding the venue were buying, selling and trading. There was a big to-do in local media afterwards, making hay about how there were too many “opportunistic” people involved and how it defeats the spirit of the program. I loved it.
Kinda reminds me of here in Oregon. After measure 114 passed which included a magazine ban. The ruger BX-25 mags were sold out in every store from Salem to Roseburg. There was a large boom in firearms sales overall. It’s always funny to see how when the state governments do shit like this it usually results in more guns being in circulation by the end of it.
We had one in Dallas about 10-15 years ago and it was awesome. People turned in electrical conduit attached to wood stocks and got $100. No one in the buying group had any idea what they were looking at.
That is because the buying group is as good at identifying a gun as the ATF. These no question buybacks are a waste of tax dollars. Every time they have them people go out and buy pipe and wood to make a few simple shotguns to trade for a quick and easy couple hundred bucks with absolutely no questions asked. Criminals aren't going to give up being a criminal for a $200 gift card.
@@stevecole90099 I didnt know the purpose of these buybacks was to stop criminals from being criminals. I thought it was to get as many guns off the street as possible, in an easy way.
i've done it before, most of the time for people that own guns if it's not politically motivated it's either to dump something that's worthless or damaged beyond repair, like the one guy Brandon talked to said "i'm just here to get rid of junk"

Our local gun rights group set up a table outside the city's 'gun buyback' 25 years ago. I recall one guy scoring a couple of nice Browning shotguns another scored a really old Winchester rifle. We stopped a lady from giving away her dead husband's antique Colts and hooked her up with a shop which gave her top dollar. Organizers tried to get the cops to drive us off but the cops agreed that we were legally entitled to be where we were and said there was nothing they could do to stop our activity.

@@RJN31428 True, although it's almost impossible to actually match a gun to a murder scene. Forensic ballistics are usually just a small component of a larger evidence profile, but a criminal having the murder weapon will never lead to them being convicted, it only establishes them as a suspect. There has never been a single case where a gun was able to match to a crime scene independent of any other evidence. Things like fingerprints on the ejected cases, tracked material such as on shoes, and most importantly crime tips by a CI are most common.
Suggestion for the cheap shotguns. Tap a slug into the end of a barrel, set it up on a bench rest and rig it so you can fire it with a string from a safe distance. See how many rounds can stuff the barrel before it breaks.

I'm sure most of the people were likely boomer-tier democrats with old, relatively worthless firearms or just people who wanted to dump off old, worthless firearms.
If they were serious about gun buyback and wanted it to have an impact, it's gonna take a lot more than half a day in one city and a $100k like we talking 50-60 Billion dollars and you can just hand them in at any police station no questions asked.
@@joik2ww269very fair argument. Just sad there was a lack of planning on our vet to have a plan on what to do for his gun collection. Gosh forbid he sees the other side it was going to be given up anyways. I have already spoken to my family members on what to do with my guns if I passed unexpectedly.
I've seen this (gun buyback) before... in Brazil. We were nowhere close to gun right or ownership as Americans, but after disarmamentist laws and gun buybacks here in Brazil, crime with (illegal) guns skyrocketed. It's also now easier for government to stomp on citizens at any sign of rebellion against the corrupted system, or for criminal parallel powers (like drug cartels) to rule over the people of some areas.
@@oif3vetk9 that's why they're leftties, they ignore reallity, I am a bodyguard for a politician, and in 20-and some years in this job, I've never saw a VSPP(Bodyguard here) saying: -"The fuck, if the moron I should protect with guns, don't trust me with guns to protect my family, but needs me with guns to protect their families, fuck off, in case of an attack, I'll use the gun to protect me and fuck'em dealing with that, they're literally paying me for nothing, I refuse to use the guns to protect people that says that guns are the problem, fucking hypocrites!" And believe me, before some of those politicians made that statement, asking for a more strict gun control, those man would totally risk their lives to protect their VIPS, but not anymore, that's why they're creating organizational polices like "Polícia Judicial" and others, so they can create their own police force to protect the judges and general attorneys, and they're seeking the creation of the "Polícia Legislativa Municipal" (Town Council Police), because they know that they screwed up and need to create new "apple polisher" government jobs.
I'm surprised that more departments don't auction off some of the antique and collectible fire arms and have the money either fund the department, go into community programs, or get donated.
san antonio police department is transitioning to 9 mm S&W M&Ps from the .40 M&P. Officers get a chance to purchase their old guns. The ones not purchased are getting destroyed. What a waste.
This program is quite literally a waste of taxpayer money. It has zero effect on gun crime (surprise surprise, criminals don't partake when cops are involved), nothing is gained from it, the money is literally burned. If I were a taxpayer in a state that has a gun buyback, I would stop paying state taxes.
Nobody would ever turn a gun in again if they saw that shit happening. Entirely defeats the (already stupid) purpose and the govt would be pocketing money the people could have gotten
Event Organizers or the Stadium: "We don't want guns sales on our property." Event Organizers or the Stadium: [LITERALLY HOLDING AN EVENT BUYING GUNS ON THE PROPERTY]
Let's be fair, they didn't say they didn't want guns sales on their property, they didn't want Brandon (and presumably other private buyers) buying guns on their property; which is 100% within their rights. Ultimately, it is clearly the organizers/owners just pulling a power move because they didn't like someone making them and their buy back look bad and I applaud Brandon for doing it (as well as all the others that I'm sure did the same sort of thing). I only comment to say that let's make sure we are being accurate and fair in our criticisms of these brain-dead idiots who thing that this actually does anything to stop/slow gun violence. They give plenty of opportunity to laugh at what they actually say/do without us having to mis-characterize.
The people doing this shit don't actually believe their own lies about safety. When you see a government consistently act toward social and economic destruction, that is their goal. Action describes intent.
Here in Arizona, we have a law that prevents cities from hosting gun "buybacks". They can buy guns, but then they are required to resell them at public auction!
Look at their guidelines. In Missouri, a guy completely bankrupted the system by making pipes, with nail strikers, and a shotgun shell for 3 bucks a pop, selling them for 50. He made like 50k and the buyback closed down in a couple days
@@happyjohn354 When gun buybacks were first started this was a common complaint. If it's purchased during an implied amnesty it can't be used as evidence in court. The reward being offered isn't much, but more than they'd get by tossing it in a river after using a rival for pew pew practice.
If i were pressured by my constituents to do a "gun buyback" I'd rally with local gun stores and just turn it into a giant gun show basically. Proliferate the culture in the community and make it an incredible networking event
Stand by the people do the buy back, listing off the *Real* value of each gun. People wouldn't ever sell to the government if they realized they were getting pennies on the dollar.
Considering Reagan and Trump did more gun control than Obama and most democrats, it makes no sense. Then again neocon goobers fall for all sorts of this silly quick phrases and crap.
I believe if the republican reps would not be as lobbied by big corporations as they are now, they might actually care about the non-existent social net, the health of the citizens, integrity and fairness of the markets, rights of indivitual citizens (men and women).
One of my cop buddies said that their department does auctions for LEO exclusively with all the firearms they confiscate or obtain. Even if the person is acquitted, the state allows them to refuse the return of any firearms they confiscate for any reason. So if you're involved in a legal defense situation they'll take the gun and melt or sell it.

*To add more to the story* - I was also the one who discovered the "anti-aircraft missile" and tried to keep the guy from turning it in. It was a training tube and the idiot thought it was a "bazooka". I told him I wanted to buy it simply so it wouldn't end up in the papers as a story about getting an anti-aircraft missile "off the streets". He wanted some insane amount of money for it. I declined.

Glad I came across your video. Reminded me of our gun buyback here in Australia some 30yrs ago. We just had the biggest massacre and the government implemented a buy back where we just went to our local police station and got paid more for our guns than we actually paid for them new. It was such a weird experience walking into a police station with shotguns and all the police were calm. I only handed 1 shotgun in (Mossberg 500) and kept a few rifles I had. There was no real register etc at the time so they was no way of tracking who had them so I wasn't going to give those ones up. The only thing was that the law was changed at that time so if you ever got caught with them down the track you would be in serious trouble. Over the years they have gun amnesty's where you can hand any guns in you still have with no questions asked. Every since then only the criminals had guns and still do.
Except we don't have mass shootings anymore, the US still has them weekly.
What really sucks is that these buybacks are probably leading to the destruction of some amazing rare antique firearms.
I bet you they resell the real unique shit to make some of the money back they gave out lmao

Gun buybacks are awesome events for those who know how to play it. In Seattle back around 2010 it turned into an open air bazaar. Tons of people in the alleyways and streets surrounding the venue were buying, selling and trading. There was a big to-do in local media afterwards, making hay about how there were too many “opportunistic” people involved and how it defeats the spirit of the program. I loved it.
as a response the state, under the guise of "universal background checks", banned private sales.... or as some see it: free trade.
Kinda reminds me of here in Oregon. After measure 114 passed which included a magazine ban. The ruger BX-25 mags were sold out in every store from Salem to Roseburg. There was a large boom in firearms sales overall.
It’s always funny to see how when the state governments do shit like this it usually results in more guns being in circulation by the end of it.

We had one in Dallas about 10-15 years ago and it was awesome. People turned in electrical conduit attached to wood stocks and got $100. No one in the buying group had any idea what they were looking at.
That is because the buying group is as good at identifying a gun as the ATF. These no question buybacks are a waste of tax dollars. Every time they have them people go out and buy pipe and wood to make a few simple shotguns to trade for a quick and easy couple hundred bucks with absolutely no questions asked. Criminals aren't going to give up being a criminal for a $200 gift card.

One of my cop buddies said that their department does auctions for LEO exclusively with all the firearms they confiscate or obtain. Even if the person is acquitted, the state allows them to refuse the return of any firearms they confiscate for any reason. So if you're involved in a legal defense situation they'll take the gun and melt or sell it.
Dude, you met so many cool people. Even the cop that trespassed you was chill and didn't want to actually do it. Glad you had a good time!
@Tundra_Z3R0 It really is! I know Brandon made the hearts and minds comment as a joke, but it really is how you positively influence people to come to your side or see things from your point of view.
@@KovitlacI have to say the dude who sold his gun BC his wife has dementia has my respect
@@blubbblubb.7867 Absolutely. I hope she does okay - dementia it's a hell of a thing to go through. I'm glad she has a husband who is putting her health and safety first.
Suggestion for the cheap shotguns - it's 30 years since Kurt Cobain died in April, maybe you could do one of the fun and totally wholesome re-enactment vids to show why 20-gauge light-load birdshot is such a weird choice to commit suicide with.
Utterly insane that they would openly admit they know this is useless at having any impact on lowering crime rates but yet still pour thousands and thousands of dollars into it
Politicians love them. Lots of anti-gunners will vote for for politicans that does these sham events.
its not crazy, its insidious. They do it for the easy publicity and false claim that they are reducing crime. Remember what that lying reporter said, " likelihood that it will reduce crime". They are very unethical professional liars.
I mean a person has a choice to take a gun there to turn in. They don't go house to house trying to confiscate guns and leave gift cards.
@@ChristopherJones-lt3lewhen it’s tax money used for the gift cards, it’s a fucking problem.
It’s literally just corruption
I despise the fact they call these Gun Buy Backs. You can't "Buy Back" what never belonged to you.
"Who said you owned anything? We own you, and your guns." Is kind of the vibe i get anymore. This is the "Experts" country, we just live here
can't own people either and y'all never let that stop you
@@c.f.bellairs1055 Let me guess…you’re under the delusional impression that you are a member of a race or society that was never involved in some form of enslavement. Can to share any of those specifics?
@@c.f.bellairs1055 That statement makes absolutely no sense. What argument are you trying to make here?
@@The_Natalist It does almost feel that way.
the fact that a buyback was happening in texas is actually frightening
Power move right in the spineless republican stronghold state. Best part is that it's totally free because the concept of a republican doing anything is laughable.
There's been 2 , recently in Houston.
Texas is very purple these days, with many of the ex-cali people going to Texas.
@@addhoardingprocrastinatoryup Texas is the new California
No kidding
Wow, I watched this when it first came out, I was just beginning my gun journey. About one year later went from 0 to 8 firearms in my household really quick
the cop in the beginning was so chill, he really let you finish that. you wouldn't see that happening anywhere else imo
yeah and the handshake capped it off, good dude.
Not really, he knowingly kicked him off public property when he hadn't broken any laws. Alamodome is owned by the city. It's not private property.
The officers probably knew who he was.
@@seanm9227 The stadium and parking lot technically isn't public property, but the sidewalk out front is..
@@joeblow5214 It's owned by the people of San Antonio, so how is publicly owned property not public property? Serious question, I'm not trying to be snarky.
That poor SKS!!! Seeing all these Shelter Guns put down like that breaks my heart. Let's hope all the ones that didn't make it to the Buyback find a warm and happy home this Christmas!
Haha I always wanted to do this
When I heard about the guns being destroyed, especially an in box Uzi, not even lying I cried. Remember the evil they have done brothers.😢
The irony of that dude driving by calling you guys “leeches” is honestly next level.
not irony
@@BenState The fact that they're offering a private alternative to a state-funded initiative, it is indeed irony.
That’s not what irony means
@@SupremeShuckle That is EXACTLY what it means, and a prime example of it too. That mouthy guy is 'leeching' off of government to give him free stuff for an item he is afraid to keep.
@@praeamble no its not. usa schooling failing again
As a San Antonio gun owner, I'm proud to announce I had no idea this pointless buy back was occuring
Me either I could of done the same as them guys and add to my collection
They do these here in Seattle all the time lol and we have our own Brandon’s buying them off people lol
Wish I would’ve known. Would’ve gone down to San Antonio to try and cop a full auto somethin or other
Yea same.
I had no idea SA held a voluntary gun confiscation until last week when I saw an article about it. Love what you’re doing man! If I had known you were gonna crash it I would have come to see what you have to had to sell. “Sell your gun to us for a measly $200.” These people would have been better off selling to Dury’s Guns.
I know I'm a little late to the party but with those mighty fine looking shotguns hahaha make some unique shotgun door handles for your business doors
Law enforcement can't "buyback" something they didn't pay for in the first place. It should be called voluntary confiscation of legally owned weapons.
huh
💯 My thoughts Exactly 💯
How is it "confiscation" if it's voluntary?
@@randomactsofcruelty1795EXACTLY
Hand it over, no
Hand it over here is money, ok
The uzi still in the box made my heart hurt… it’s wild to me how people own stuff like that and then basically give it away for a gift card worth a fraction of what they could get in cash at any gun store.
You are not alone here. I also watched a plenty of EXTREMELY rare and valuable electronic components be absolutely destroyed for a couple of grams of gold. One of the main reasons why older electronics are so freaking rare. They could be sold for thousands of dollars to a collector, but were turned in for just 2 bucks.
@@deauthorsadeptus6920 oh yeah I’ve seen people destroy some cool electronics just to get the rare metals out of them. Which is usually just a few bucks worth.
A fool and their firearm are soon parted😢
Not even a fraction more like a fraction of a fraction
@@Malix-Pikerman Which is still a fraction
There's nothing more suspicious than Brandon walking up to you saying, "I like the AR".
Lmao!!!
I can't believe that slipped past me.
Skinwalker??!?!? 😱
It’s a trap!
Not even in Congress yet and already lying.
That demolition ranch joke was slick.
Imma be honest, I’m a European and this hurts real bad. Being allowed to protect yourself and giving it up to the government, it really hurts
Your country recently joined?
Ikr. They have the privilege of the right to own guns and yet they don't want it. Bruh
lol "allowed." It's a right.
Imma be honest with you. As a texan it breaks my heart. This is basically spitting on our culture and dooming their children to being defenseless. These people in this line will not teach their children to respect their rights and freedoms.
I'm Canadian, we get all the crime problems from 300000 illegal guns hopping the border, without being able to use any to protect ourselves. A woman can't even protect herself from a r@pist with pepper spray here, it's actually fucking insane.
Keep fighting the good fight brandon!
Donate them to a local gun club so they can hold a gun raffle. OR start your own "gun sell back" program 😊
Yeah, this is what I was thinking as I watched: how successful would the civilian-run, well-advertised "gun buyback" program be?
Why sell them back to the community for 3x, 4x the price? That also hurts the community due to greed. Stick to a raffle or something else.
