Man running "gun turn-in" in Pueblo is convicted felon, doesn't do BGCs, etc.

I'm really not sure what to make of this:

Frank Arteaga parked his blue and white pick up at the corner of East 4th Street and North Glendale Avenue Thursday. It's the same place he's parked all month. US and Mexican flags wave from the bed as framed Denver Broncos and Star Wars memorabilia sit on the ground. Close to the street sits a sandwich board sign with a large picture of a dove and the words "Peace for the Holidays," and "GUNS EXCHANGED FOR FOOD OR $$$, CONFIDENTIAL."

Heart is in the right place but, he's a felon.

It stops or someone is getting charged, beginning with the Sheriff, Mayor, Chief of Police, etc...

I have contacted the State's AG and CBI about this malfeasance.

Tricking poor people into giving up their means of self defense for trinkets and PC points is evil (especially when all you really end up doing is help criminals dispose of crime guns). Its wrong when politicians do it ... its wrong when philanthropists do it. Its just wrong.

Heart's in wrong place ... head's in wrong place ... if he's not careful his backside will end up in the wrong place.

This story needs to go viral and these people involved need to go away.

Well, I guess Pueblo is the place to go for a FtF gun transaction, right? No background checks or other annoying laws to follow. Imagine the number of guns members could "get off the streets". It's for the children.

You should have just bypassed these people and gone straight to the top. I'd like to see what Chickenpooper does if he was notified personally that someone was openly and publicly violating his law.

Welllll, I just read that he signed a law banning microbeads in skin care products, so get off his back! He's busy with IMPORTANT shit!

The Pueblo Police Department is now running a program to destroy all guns used in the commission of a crime. No questions asked. It is an amnesty drop off with no way to connect the gun to a criminal and the city will then destroy the evidence.

Why destroy, hide, or worry about getting rid of your own incriminating evidence? A government service any politician could get behind and support.
