Well, maybe the cops around you are all sweetness and light, but where I come from (and in many places I visit) they are a bunch of bullies who join up for the power and influence. They hate young people, black people, rich people, homeless people, and anyone who gets in thier way and you are lucky if you only get arrested instead of having your head beaten in and the contents of your pockets taken.

I figured it was bannable. Is it? Of course I will meet anyone who wants to meet me.
:laugh:
Somebody insulted me on the internet so I'm going to beat them up!

:roll: Grow up, kid!


Why would you want to insult people in the first place? I think FullmetalChocobo needs to grow up a bit, but whatever.

WTF? Chocobo was the first one to actually provide any factual insight into why the OP should turn the guns into the police... you and others on this forum have nothing to offer other than calling the police "popos" and make other generally untrue generalizations about them. And then you challenge him to a fight???

Haha... frigging hilarious....

Hey, he threatened me first, and I edited mine out immediately. I don't want a flame war over it.

Anyway, my comments about the police come from experience, several of my friends have been seriously beaten by the police. About a month ago a 14 year old black boy who lives 2 roads away from me had his face smashed beyond recognition for refusing to hand over his bag. He spent a week in hospital.

What was in the bag then? It is called cooperating with authority and not putting them in a position to have to get physical unless you are standing up for some moral code. What was the reason for not handing the bag over? Was it drugs, alcohol, a weapon? Was the boy acting combative or threatening?

On top of that, the guy is from the UK, so he knows he'd never even have to think about actually worrying about someone taking him up on the offer.

E-tough FTW!

😉 It is pretty hilarious. Too many youngsters on the internet now. I remember back in the good 'ol days when there were only BBSs and the internet was a brand new thing. People were a lot more mature about correspondence back then. Probably due to the fact that the BBSs were usually small communities and some were even local groups.


*sigh* I'm 23, not exactly a youngster, and BBSs weren't exactly all smiles and hugs.

Am I gonna be flamed for this all day until I apologise? OK, sorry for calling you out Chocobo, it was dumb.

The police are here to PROTECT business, and SERVE the government.
Dealing with the public is simply eliminating suspects.

By the way,
in our family..... "popo" was baby talk for your butt.

idiot.

psst! we already been over this and is his right to a point. the police are NOT there to protect.

First, please learn to edit out some quotes. Second, I don't give a damn what you say about me, honestly. And I wouldn't call me out to a fight either, because I wouldn't fight you. I'd use OC and end it quickly, honestly. Third, I'm terribly sorry that your circumstances with the police have been wrong. But isn't that in another country? And if that is true, how in the hell can you give advice like "don't turn the guns in, they will arrest you" for someone IN ANOTHER COUNTRY? Fourth, I was only offended, and honestly ashamed, that you could say all that, because the police are there to keep things in order, and safe, and protect all those as best they can. Even the ones that might not deserve it, or want it.

Have a good day.

yeah yeah. i know all the nice cops i guess. not the ones that apparently beat up little kids like atheus knows.

Clean them and keep them. Even if they can't work, they will be cool conversation pieces. Don't call the cops... you'll be sorry. Nothing good ever EVER comes from calling the Man.

Edit: If they are totally rusted, any ballistics test are no good anyway. Plus they can't do ballistics on shotguns.

yes they can, but only only on the impact of the firing pin on the primer. they could match it to spent shells from a crime scene.

Including the serial #'s you place on your own equipment. Stuff can be identified with these, and you can have it put into the NCIC system if it's stolen. The number is called an OAN: Owner Applied Number. Just FYI. Good info for people with equipment.

Heh, i know how it works. I put stuff into it often 😛 Damn thieves.

OC? Orange County? Over Clocking?

Yea, in a couple of other countries actually, but not the states. Americans I know do not give favourable accounts of them though...

Personally, I think the OP should hand the guns in anonymously, to one of those 'gun amnesty' things for example.

That sucks. I was just trying to let everyone else in on it too... Something I learned at TLETS/NLETS school that was really useful.

Um, no. Google "Oleoresin Capsicum" or "OC spray". It sucks. Trust me, I know. I'd rather get hit with my fvcking asp than have the skin on my eyeballs peel again...

Yes they are. You're twisting the court ruling. The police are there to protect the public, but you can't sue them if they fail to do so. There are many reasons the police may be unable to protect a citizen, it'd be crazy to let people sue the police for not protecting them when something bad happens.

Guess that's why you call them when someone breaks in your house, huh?
What a dumb statement.
 
Thanks for the pics. Something tells me those guns have fired their last shots.🙂

Edit: Here in Los Angeles, they have those"Turn in a gun, get $100 in cash" deals once in a while. They are sponsored by the police. They pay $100 per gun, for any gun. I still think they make nice conversation pieces. Dip the entire gun in urethane, let it dry and hang them on the wall. Cool.

well thats what it really comes down to. They do not have ot protect a person. this is not saying they won't do eveyrthing they can to protect someone. it jus states they are not obligated by law.

Sure, the police are _supposed_ to protect you, but what they actually do is beat little black children.

Que?¿ 😕


Anyway, this thread has become hillarious. I love the idea that doing your civic duty is "too much of a hassle" for some people. I mean, spending a whole hour or so at the police station or talking with an officer to describe where you found these guns? ZOMG! You might miss some ATOT threads! Oh noes! ;laugh;

And even though I think the OP should definitely contact the police about his finding, I think the most rational explanation is that some hunter tipped his boat in the lake.

But then again, maybe you will help solve a crime. :thumbsup:

QFT

Why else would someone throw a gun in the lake? Not to see how far it would skip across 😛
Take it to the cops or contact the FBI and have them come out and get them and see if they would cross ref to any crimes. I mean seriously why else would you throw a gun in a big body of water and if the feds needed was the guns to solve a crime you and your friend may become heros and maybe even a cash reward as well.
