Chicago cop tries to remove "killer" .22s with a hammer

[Clay Turner]

Straight from Chicago's gun buyback program, where they netted a "killer" ancient .22 from a 64-year-old widow.

You can't make this stuff up:

I hear if you suck really hard on the barrel you can dislodge a stuck bullet...

Just sayin..

Dumb shits.

You can tell he's an expert, because he's on the official anti gun enforcement team!

What is to stop someone from just setting up and doing a gun buyback program of their own? No promises of destruction of the weapons. Just offer to get them off the streets.

You could even run it like Chicago, and make it seem like it's mandatory. Like that Drug Checkpoint thread last week, just because the government makes it sound mandatory doesn't mean it actually is.

Ah yes, the streets in Chitown are much safer now.
Thank God I don't have a 22, they are too dangerous and a "killer".
I would be very curious to know what "machine guns" were turned in as well.
How many of these clowns are going to get mugged on the way out of WalMart where they just spent their 100.00 windfall?
Plus how many want to bet the real number of firearms turned in was half of what is claimed.

“That’s a killer right there. That small gun,” said Chicago Police Sgt. Kevin Johnson, a member of the citywide Anti-Gun Enforcement Team. “It’s a North American Arms .22 caliber,” Johnson said. “That bullet is so small it will bounce. It will travel and you’ll have internal bleeding going throughout your body.”

I wish I had the opportunity to tell Sgt Johnson he was a dumbass.

Yes he is...

Well, I lived in the Chicago metro area for well over 25 years and I truly believe that a good number of the better "turn in" guns will soon be in the homes of some of the cop's relatives. That's just how it normally works in Chicago.
