exactly DF, why would someone spend that kind of money, and the time to obtain one, to turn it in for 200 lousy bucks... those guns arent your run of the mill AK or AR, you will be lucky to see ONE in your life if you are just a guy like me (you, BD, RvDub probably have seen more than one)... and all of a sudden, 3 show up to get a gift card?

i dont believe it...

it was probably weapons that the SPD used and showed to say "hey we got these dangerous weapons off the street", but they were actually the Riot Force's shotguns, that were Police issued... thats what those guns were intially buit for, Riot Control and combat.. albeit, the original is the Striker 12, and the Cobray is a low budget (high price) knock off, but still serves the same purpose...

just like the freakout over the "missile launcher"... guy got 100 bucks for it, and is going to get it back when Ft Lewis says "hey, this thing is ancient, likely from Vietnam or in that area, its worthless, we dont even use them anymore".... oh, plus they are legal to own... so now, the police are taking your guns/weapons, giving you a gift card, then giving your weapon back after its deemed OK to own...

L-O-L.... bright idea...
