NYC Gun Buyback Results in 44 Total Firearms Turned In
Many cities, including the one I most recently resided in, have tried and often failed when trying to implement the "gun buyback" program concept. A recent NYC gun buyback conducted this year failed to procure even 50 firearms from the cities 8 million plus residents.

Confronted by rising crime, a brain drain of wealthy residents, and economic paralysis caused by shutting everything down, NYC city leaders responded by organizing a gun buyback.
Local news breathlessly described the stunning results:
Indeed, the turning over of 44 guns from many possible sources is sure to reverse the trend brought on by a global pandemic and months of Corporate-endorsed faux-revolutionary rioting.A gun buyback program Saturday yielded a “wonderful” bumper crop of deadly weapons, with a Queens church predicting the drop-off of 44 weapons would help ease a crime spike that’s hit the city this summer.
The community should be more concerned by the mobs of young people who don't have guns that have been burning down anything of value these past few months, but what do I know?“That’s one less gun out on the street, that’s one less gun that these (police) officers and this community has to worry about,” said Rev. Evan D. Gray of the Macedonia Baptist Church.
Oh, and how about the thousands of new guns people have been buying as a result of present hysteria?
It also helps not to scorn police.“The way to bring down crime is to be active on the ground,” Jones said. “This is a step in the right direction but it’s going to take more of us coming together.”
“Every one of these guns that you see here is a gun that is not going to be used in a shooting,” Katz said.
That implies they were ever going to be used period at any point in recent years, you silly goose!
Observe that most of these guns are revolvers, many of which seem to be those "saturday night specials" that caused a stir in the 60's.
More notably:
-Top row, fourth from the left and 3rd row, 5th from the left appear to be antique toy guns, unless they're supposed to be chambered in 22SR or something like that.
-3rd row, 4th from the left is missing part of it's grip. Can't imagine trying to fire that.
An Eagle-eyed commenter also pointed out this oddity:
It's a good thing Cole Younger's 1858 Remington is off the street. i guess the pervious owner didn't realize that cap and ball is the only ammo on the shelves right now.
And if you'd been examining the picture closely, you'd notice something much more interesting in the lower right hand corner.
Here's a close-up from another angle to help you out:
How relieving to see those deadly assault airsoft guns off the streets of New York!
In conclusion, NYC authorities continue to be punked.
