I thought you could always take guns to the police to dispose of them? I've taken a knackered .22rf to them and my shooting buddy took what was left of a baikel 12bore after it decided to fire both barrels as he broke it :oops: (that was quite a bruise!).

 

You can

I honestly can't seem to remember anything more useless than a "gun buyback scheme".

 

They love in the US get $50 for $5 scrap value!

Ill never forget seeing a copper pulling a ww2 german MP40 submachinegun complete with mag and sling out of an amnesty dustbin in either the late 80s or early 90s.I really hope it didnt get chopped up!

 

They must be running short of war souveneirs by now. Here's some amnesties on film:

If someone wants to get rid of air guns why would they want to take them to the police station? They can just take them to the gunshop and get a few quid for them. They show them on the news as getting firearms off the streets and most of them are air guns by the look of it.

 

Looks good on statistics.........
