<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nRichard sends us a link to KIRO 7<\/a> in Seattle about another police department that was conned into buying back an “RPG” (yes, I know it’s an expended Stinger missile tube – Stingers are for shooting down aircraft) during their gun buyback program. The picture comes from their Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n Police said if people turn in a handgun, shotgun or a rifle, the exchange will be a $100 gift card from places like Amazon.com. For assault weapons, it would be a $200 gift card.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So you know that the police paid $200 for something someone bought at a surplus store for $25. Yeah, there’s no waiting period or background checks for buying an empty fiberglass tube. You’d think that the police would know that.<\/p>\n According to Seattle police, hundreds of guns were collected but the final count will be released Monday.<\/p>\n The Seattle Police Department said they hope to hold another gun buyback event soon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So you guys out in Seattle have time to turn your PVC tubing into gold at the next gun buy back.<\/p>\n NOTE: Someone on facebook says it’s a “Redeye” launcher which is older than the Stinger, and he may just be right. But what it’s NOT is an RPG><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
