Denver Gun Buy-Back AAR

[libertyordeath]

One of my buddies dug a little deeper into that Denver gun buy-back a couple weekends ago that was supposed to be rescheduled - but it looks like they still (illegally) held it and (illegally) purchased 10 firearms for $500 that day. Here's his article:

"I Haven't Read Any Statute" on Gun Shows, Buy-Back Organizer Says

The New Covenant Christian Church intends to host a gun buy-back on December 27. Volunteers with the effort also collected ten guns at or near City Park on December 6, for which they paid a total of $500, according to Pastor Reginald Holmes of New Covenant.

According to Colorado law, the event on December 6 as well as the scheduled event on December 27 qualify as gun shows, yet organizers made no indication that they followed the gun-show law on December 6 or intend to do so at the later event. Holmes said, "This is not a gun show," but he admitted, "No, I haven't read any statute" on the matter." He said he would evaluate the text of the statute and get back with me. <read the rest>

3 or more people get together to buy a gun and its a gun show. Way to run a foul of the law. Don't worry though. After the trial the police with destroy the evidence for you.

You should and you should video them buying guns ilegally and give that tape to the cops. It would show that gun owners can talk care of their own. And we make no exeption for law breaker no matter how PC their cause is.

A friend of mine wants to sit out on the sidewalk outside this event with a table and a sign that says "Appraise your gun here". Add a blue book of gun values, and advise them they can go to the Tanner show and sell to any licensed dealer. Then they can be sure that their gun won't end up in the hands of anyone that hasn't passed NICS.

The DA would be the one who prosecutes. And well, In Denver... I wouldn't be surprised if they prosecute the person who made the video for "illegal surveillance of at-risk adults" or some other made up charge! (yes, I know there is no such thing).

You can video tapr people in public. I would be willing to do it just to fuck with those cheap skates.

public property, yes you can film on. so the first one that was "cancelled" at the park would have been a go. this saturday will be on private property and you need to ask permission to video there. however, that being said, sidewalks outside the church are public property. as a suggestion if you do come, don't be contentious and show up to stir up trouble at the event. attend as a citizen concerned about their cause - you'll be welcomed in and likely get better footage to use later... you get more flies with a drop of honey than a gallon of vinegar.

As someone who lives out in the country- I can say that you get by far the most with a big pile of poo!

other than that- it's good advise... if anyone asks, you're doing a "documentary" about guns

Seems as if they didn't raise as much money as they would have liked for the "buy-back".

If anybody sees me there stop and say hi, I'll be in my white 2003 dodge truck. I plan participating in the "buy back" by buying some guns back from people who dont want them.
