KOLD Says “Guns Off Streets”

If you’re a viewer of KOLD TV in Los Angeles you might have heard that things are going to be so much better now. At least that’s how a recent news story sounded:
“More than 2500 guns, rifles and assault weapons are now off the streets of Los Angeles. Over the weekend, L.A. residents were encouraged to turn in their weapons in exchange for $100 gift cards. It was part of the Los Angeles Police Department’s gun buyback program.”
Again, we ask whether there is any proof these guns were ever “on the streets” in the first place? Likewise, we ponder the question whether taxpayers realized that they paid $250,000 to get buyback these guns? For a state that has a hard time running it seems like a waste of a quarter of a million dollars. Couldn’t more police officers have been hired with that money instead?
