Why can't they just donate the damn thing to a museum or something?

>>31814243
can you imagine two guys arguing on ny street corner? one guy leaves and comes back with a fucking lewis machine gun

>>31814317
imagine pulling drivebys with it

>>31814266
MP40 parts kit that was hap hazardly thrown together. There isn't even a barrel.

>>31814317
My question is who the hell in NYC had a Lewis sitting in their house
In addition, who brought that thing to a gun buyback?

I would have loved to see the face of the person at the buyback having to take that in

>>31814290
You forget you're dealing with the NYPD, I'd expect a hippy faggot to know better than gun grabbing cops and politicians

It truly is amazing how things travel and make their way around the world. Never be surprised by what might turn up.

I'm more interested to know if the damn thing works if it was great-great grandpas de-activated wall-hanger brought into the buyback by some retarded millennial of color

What about that black powder pistol? It's not even a pistol technically, unless New York is even worse than I thought.

>>31814578
it would be pronounced "tre oh tre breezy"

>>31814623
NY states black powder pistols are still pistols
Exception is if you own one but do not own powder or ammunition, then it is exempt from the handgun laws.
NYPD doesn't care though. Black powder with ammo, black powder without ammo, Airsoft guns, Metal BB guns, and even deactivated guns are all considered firearms in NYC because different NYC laws

>>31814623
NYC has special gun laws that make black powder and pre-1896 antiques illegal to own without the city permit.

>>31814623
Owning an airsoft gun without a permit can theoretically get you felony charges.

>>31814243
This kills the crab

>>31814760
I refuse to believe that and nothing you say can convince me otherwise

>>31814809

I live in NY can confirm.

Also our state wide pistol permits/CCW permits are not recognized by NYC either.

>>31814809
NYC considers airsoft guns as real guns
owning "real" guns without permit in NYC is a felony

It is on the law books, but I've never heard of anyone getting charged with a felony with an airsoft gun in NYC, only the ones that use airsoft guns to rob bodegas or banks

>>31814427
Probably unregistered.

>Some old dude dies.
>Kids/whoever find old unregistered MG.
>Illegal to sell or have.
>Decide its more trouble then its worth.
>Hand in at buyback.

Not that hard to imagine when you remember most people are normies.

NYPD fags, tell your comissioner that you're about to melt down a piece of history and tell them to calm the fuck down.

>>31814760
this is why new york and california need to burn in a nuclear fire

dear god I live near NYC. Why would any one turn in a lewis gun

>>31814398
>>31814479
It says that some of the guns are crime seizures. I'd guess that it probably came from one of those, probably passed around the underworld for a century and finally came to rest in a cache that got raided.

West Coast fag here.

Someone explain to me, like the idiot I am, why they would melt this down instead of giving it to a museum? I realize it was bought back, but surely someone in the department recognizes its historical value no?

>>31815739
They recognize it, but they don't care.

>>31814290

>implying a museum wants a rusty old mp40

not selling those guns is most retarted thing to do, why dont we just destroy all knifes too because theres potential victims, throw in cars too why not GOD DAMN FUCKING HIPPIES! REEEEEEE!

At least you tried kiddo.

of course they are going to have problem solvers
Literally all the gangs have dozens upon dozens of them

I really hope they realize the value and spare it. Give it to a museum.
I know it's NYC but there's parts of the NYPD that are not pant-on-head retarded and that actually do care about guns/history. Reminds of a few years ago when some lady in Connecticut brought an StG-44 to a buyback. Police told her to sell it to a museum.

In that example the lady didn't know what she had. She was going to get $100 or something for giving it the police.
There's three types of people that go to gun buybacks:
1. People who know nothing about guns/ hate them and want to get rid of a deceased relative's.
2. Criminals dumping their murder weapons to get rid of evidence.
3. Gun owners getting rid of nonfunctional stuff and getting money to put towards their hobby.

>>31815994
That was a local police department. This is the NYPD, the biggest and most bureaucratic PD in the world. If the higher ups deem something to be melted, there is little that the average cop can do to convince the commissioner to reconsider

>>31816041
Look at the grip below the glock and to the left. Looks like a weldod grip to me. Could be a garage gun but it suuure does look similar.

It's probably a de-act they bought and turned in themselves to make it look like the buyback was mildly successful.

They do that shit all the time, remember the "RPG"? It was like a $150 dummy trainer tube.

>>31816127
I doubt this was ordered specifically by the Commissioner (Maybe he's pushing buybacks in general but not dictating where and when they are). I'd think something like this would be done by a Borough Commander and run by civilians/Auxiliary.
If someone notices something special they might be able to speak up if they have the rank.

>>31814243
Was watching the news with my family when this came up, I had to hold my tears in
>>31815848
look here there's even a flintlock
>>31815890
That'd make a great mission not gonna lie

>>31814243

I have a story in my head where a 2nd gen immigrant/war veteran brings it over in a big luggage box and stows it in his parent's attic because why not. Mom and pop so busy running the laundry service they don't ask about the bug trunk. Someday he inherits the house and he eventually forgets about the gun. He dies at 97 and his grandkids are told to go clean the attic out by our war hero's boomer children. Little Vin, now 17, walks down from the attic and says "Whats this?!"

>>31814848

Can someone explain to me again how this shit is able to be found constitutional

>>31814243
thats not an lmg, thats clearly a powerful calibrated long-barrel assault rifle. if they were smart they could get mad caps for it.

>>31814243
god, i get why people are weird about guns but it's a century-old piece of famous technology, how is it hard to get that you should preserve them when you can?
>>31820783
i get it

[spoiler]it's lazy that they decided to just rename their machine gun model to an assault rifle and not bother making an assault rifle but i actually liked the pseudo-lewis look[/spoiler]

Do these coos have no sense? I thought they were redpilled compared to the normie scum. Why melt them? Why not museum or resell? Why not respect old relics? What is this planet? Does no one care about the past (or learning from it for thst matter)?

Somebody brought it home or bought it legally, then after generations of disuse and being ignored in the attic, somebody finds it when grandpa dies.

correction

technically in both NY and NYC, black powder pistols with no ammo are considered non-firearms

(i don't remember the stipulations about BP rifles)

but expect them to bully you anyways like they did to that article guy

that's why you can order BP guns to NY from cabela's or whatever with any normal mail service

If you own any components to shoot the gun like powder, lead ball etc they will rape you twice as hard. Want to shoot it legally? You need to add it onto a firearm license

funny how airsoft requires a license and antiques BPs don't but not gonna complain

I used to be good friends with a sheriff's deputy from down South who told me this little old lady once came in to melt a gun from her recently passed husband.

It was a M1921 Thompson in fantastic condition. They had to lose it and look the other way, but they saved it and kept it for the department.

Not that anon but my friends dad had a chauchat when we were kids. It was deactivated but the bolt and trigger still worked. Pretty fun to play with but just a huge paperweight.
He bought it out of some catalog in the 90s for a hundred bux.

>gun/police buy backs
what are these events? like auctioning guns found by police? seems pretty cool

>>31831118
>seems pretty cool

Its where scared soccer moms convince their pussy fucking husbands to trade in their funs to the police station for a couple hundred dollars (doesn't matter if funs are worth much, much, much more) and then the police destroy all the funs.

Now in CT, I think it was Greenwich, NYC communist neighbor, an old lady handed in an STG44 found in her dead husbands WWII trunk. Thinking this was an AK47, the police took it obviously and started calling it an AK47 like a bunch of retards. THANKFULLY the chief of police recognized the STG for what it really was, took it out of the melting pot pile, and donated it to a museum. Turns out it was worth around $45,000.

police buy backs are probably the worse thing I have ever seen and they make me cringe harder than anything ever. This is why im moving out of the northeast, because I just cant take this shit anymore.
