Anti-tank weapon turned in during San Francisco gun buyback http://www.koaa.com/story/37083324/anti-tank-weapon-turned-in-during-san-francisco-gun-buyback
A rocket launcher was one of many weapons turned in Saturday at a gun buyback program in San Francisco, California.
Among 180 rifles, shotguns, and pistols police also received an AT4, which fires a single, unguided rocket meant to take out tanks and other vehicles. The weapon is only good for a one-time use. This one had already been fired or perhaps was a training model.
There were no charges filed against the person who turned the device in. The event provided amnesty to anyone turning in illegal weapons.
Hahahahahaha, I wonder what the rest of the poor folks in the line thought?
Maybe the headline should be
“Great souvenir is lost to gun buyback program”

THEN WHO ****ING CARES?!?!?
I love how these people constantly trot out the bogus “oh, looky here we dun bagged a rocket launcher” headlines every time a city pulls one of these buyback stunts, when they KNOW damn well it’s just a fancy paperweight… :rolleyes:

Um… no shit?
Pretty sure inert one-time-use launchers are legal to own, I’ve seen quite a few pop up for sale here and there…
Hell, back in the day when I played Paintball, one guy had a Nerf rocket launcher made out of the body of one.
It’s important because every gun that we destroy, and we get off the streets, is a potential gun that could’ve killed somebody,or destroy our whole universe, just one of those guns. And so getting any gun, even if we just got one gun off the streets though, one gun, we winnin’," explains Corpuz Jr.

Please tell me this news site is a joke, like, the Onion or Duffel?
I’m pretty sure someone could do a mock up of a suitcase nuke. Would be interesting to see that see the reaction to that showing up. No more dangerous than a spent rocket tube.
Though I have to ask, these things usually have prices set for pistols, l9ng guns, “assault rifles” and such. With the scary shit being worth more. How much for a rocket launcher do you get? I gots to know. lol.
I bet a spent AT4 tube is worth at least $200 and probably more. Never saw a spent M72 LAW tube under $100… I suppose they are super proud of themselves
Everyone is missing the beautiful pair of O/U shotguns that will now end up in some LEOs gun collection… Wait, I mean destroyed per the terms of the buyback program.
Don’t talk that way. We planning on burying your stash with you, along with philosophical writings of the greats and a shit ton of ammo for the rise of the killer AI sex bots… errrmm I mean machines.
