L.A. gun buy back buys 15-30k STG-44 WWII Bringback for 200$

Original story here: It's quite sad really. was talking about this in one of their threads. It is sad that LAPD bought back a bunch of firearms "no questions asked". What's even worse that a piece of history will forever be lost to the civilian populace. Legal or not, I can't imagine whoever turned it in knew what they had. It's still upsetting to think about. The most that LAPD would pay for a single firearm was a 200$ gift card. We're getting to the point in the country where a state will become a police state. That is very depressing to think about. I may only be 22, but there are many Americans in our country who really don't realize that we are one of the last free nations in the world, and we want to turn in and destroy our civil rights and freedoms. It has become a tipping point in this country, and we are probably at about a 50/50 split within this country. There's really few firearms friendly states left. The federal government is consolidating its power into one branch and throwing states' rights by the wayside. A Defensive Carry user had a great quote as his signature, "Guns are like sex and air, not really a big deal until you can't get any". Makes sense, right? As with the STG-44 that is really a shame to even think about, thinking that a piece of history has forever been lost.
