- One way law enforcement works to "protect and serve” is by getting guns out of the hands of criminals, but CBS News discovered thousands of guns once carried by officers turn up at crime scenes around the country every year. A survey of more than 200 police departments found most sell or trade their used guns.

What a coincidence these firearms that are sold by law-enforcement end up in crime scenes!
I’m totally shocked!
You’re a dumb liberal, the cops traded their old guns for new ones at a discount. Just like you traded your old car for new ones, all this was a business transaction so taxpayer don’t have to flip the bill. The gun dealers than sold these guns to the public, now you want to blame the police?
These clowns arent telling you the full story it was stolen. You cant sell a firearm to a minor and its a felony to purchase a firearm out of state without going through a legal process. They are given to gun stores to sell which is normal and still have to go through the legal process of background check. Other than that this is an outlier when it comes to gun crime
Why do police departments have gun buyback programs😢😮 wtf
They just flippers. They buy then back, then sell them for more/
On Sneaky 👤
Police departments are trash....,you just can't turn a negative into a positive. #DIRTY
Selling your firearm after retirement isnt a buy back sweetie everyone does that
in california the police will buy private citizens guns, they call it buy back to get guns off the streets and which they melt the guns down and give 200 bucks per gun no questions asked
What's the problem???? It's a tool what you choose to do with that tool it's your choice
right theyre exaggerating the hell out of this and tried using some misleading ATF data. This doesnt even make up 1% of the crime in this city
True
Never hold criminals accountable 😂 just blame game
You're right. Let's hold the police accountable.
@@iwatchyoutube523 as long as laws and accountability standards keep changing you won't need cops or prisons for anything. Think about it what crime happens that you would want to lock up a person? There aren't any
@@iwatchyoutube523 you probably won't answer
@@strongmermaid4651 You're making about as much sense as these cops selling their decommissioned weapons to the public.
@@iwatchyoutube523 nope, I don't believe any person for ANY reason should be locked up. There is no reason for law enforcement or prisons NONE. 0 crime
And Pritzker wants to taje away our guns
Ever notice the Gun Back program, always show the same pics of the guns from years ago,
It’s not like the police department sold it to the criminals people legally buy used firearms, but sometimes end up stolen by the criminals in home/car break-ins
I was wondering where all the guns come from in the neighborhood . wtf it's true police are arming criminals 😮😢
To a point. But crim crimz are ALSO arming other crimmies. 💪😎✌️ I mean, that's the point of BEING an illegal operator, baby! 😂 Ya don't follow the rules, ya lie, ya cheat, ya steal, and ya find ways to blame as many ethical folks as ya can for your own heinous deeds. That's the modus operandi of a crim crim! #norules #noconsequences
Nobody can get rid of guns! 😔
And thanks to the internet and 3d printing, guns are even more accessible to everyone than they ever were before!
Australia did, U.K did, Europe did.....
@@dariobrum They had a lot fewer to get rid of. Something like 400 million in civilian hands here.
@@gnosticnight yeah but you guys have to start somewhere. And guns sold by police ending up killing innocent people, its not acceptable.
Would it be ok if the people weren't innocent? Like if thats all that were involved were not innocent people?@@dariobrum
@@dariobrumthere are more guns in Australia than there was before the so called “ban”
Gotta close the police department loophole !!!!!!!! That's where criminals are getting firearms !!!!!!!
He trying to clean it up
Of course they sell them. What do you expect them to destroy them with a crusher?
Why are they trading guns so often if the guns are hardly used?
They cycle every gen of glock, smith & wesson or every 5 years.
It's an election year
Im the cop that sold rondonumbanine the rocket launcher
1:51 are you serious
MY first Gun I bought at 15 was from a older white guy probably a former cop, Im older now and like what was he thinking.
I am so very shocked and surprised...
Wow, it took how many decades/centuries for the news to find out that LEO Agencies sell off their surplus guns? They do this to upgrade or replace guns for various reasons. The biggest changes came when Law Enforcement went from revolver to automatic & the now recent switch from .40 S&W to 9mm. When I retired I bought my "old" duty gun after it was sold off (.40 S&W) to a firearms wholesaler FFL. I went through the background check like anybody else who buys from an FFL These surplus guns are no different than guns of the same brand sold new or used from the same dealer. They normally cost about half the going rate of a new model of the same gun, but come with the normal dings & scratches from duty use. Former Police guns are imported from all over the world and sold here as surplus (Makarovs, Jerichos, Walthers etc, you get the point) and they like others sometime do end up in the hands of criminals. CBS you need to further investigate to see how many are stolen or straw purchased. I see this story ran coast to coast through local CBS stations. It seems like you wanted some politician to pick up on this and try to ban this practice. Check out all the MILITARY surplus firearms that are sold in this country, even our own Government sells surplus firearms to CIVILIANS, real MILITARY GRADE guns and have been doing so for over a century! Criminals will get guns, no stopping it. Look at Chicago, strictest gun laws in the country, and they don't work. Remember these guns turned up at CRIME SCENES meaning something illegal was done and the law did not prevent it. Criminals will ALWAYS criminal.
Guns ain’t the issue people with gun that don’t need one is the issue
If it was illegal to sell police guns why don't the cops know this? Because the bubblehead blonde actress recited her lines like she was told to do. If the ATF told them it was illegal they either don't know what they are talking about or they lied. I bought a used Glock with no markings other than the factory serial number that was a MNPD gun through a legal gun dealer. My brother was FHP he bought his first issued pistol when they changed to different guns as a remembrance of his job with FHP.
Where’s his father? Only the mother on TV complaining about the police? What about the criminal who un alived her son? 🙏 to the family still though. Hope he knew Jesus before his untimely end.
And what do you guys think happens with the drugs ? Back to the streets yall
Tax payers provide the funding for police departments to purchase firearms.
By selling or trading them in through a LICENSED gun dealer, these departments save tax payers real $$$$
These guns are then sold to other LICENSED dealers and then to the public.
If pookie or ray ray steal and then use one of these weapons for criminal purposes it's not the police department's fault
did she said its Illegal? u mean Legal?
Truly shocking. 🙄 #whatasurprise
Those guns should go to Ukraine.
I don’t think the officer is wrong, but I do think his attitude about it is wrong if that makes sense
his attitude? Do you have an argument or are you just finding something to complain about
Most likely the gun was stolen, from a family member, or it was bought by a straw purchase, and sold on the street, not the Departments fault, sorry for your loss, but as he said, you can't hold the gun at fault, it's the criminal.
It was stolen this is so misleading this doesnt even make up 1% of the gun violence in this city
Why am I not surprised. This country has been corrupt since it was founded 😂
This is all orchestrated
Yeah, Chiraq and tiger service weapons are the problem. The kids here c as ll it “THE WAR” that tune frame is also called
“The Drill Era” because the Drill music but guns aren’t the problem it’s the people Or kids with no guidance
The taxpayers pay for these things. Yes. And the cost of them being used to commit crimes and murders costs the taxpayers way more than your “trade in value.” Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Its less than 1% quit exaggerating. Did you even listen at all while watching stay dumb my friend
