Wow, why didn't they think of this before?

That is, for lack of a better word, retarded.

I'd rather see the actual criminals turned in and melted down.

Do they get a basketball, too?

I can't read this stuff..

This bugs me, to curb the the rise in armed robberries they want the guns from law abiding citizens to make them safer(!). Now the criminals can rest easy knowing that when they do their next robbery they just get a shoe thrown at them. The fact that people go for this kind of thinking just doesn't sit right at all IMO

I think crack-for-guns would work better, but that's just my opinion.

My question is....2001...some of the guns were melted...what happened to the rest?

If I lived down there I would buy a piece of junk (Lorcin, etc.) at a pawn shop for $50 and trade it for a pair of kicks.

I think it shows the non-PC view of the Sheriff's office .

So close to home this time...

No real cop could actually believe that a real criminal would turn in their gun for some sneakers? Could he? Please someone tell me that that sheriff is a political hack and not a real cop?

I believe the real criminals would wait around in the area and steal all the shoes from the now unarmed at gun point.

Deputies will run background checks on the weapons to see whether they have been reported stolen or used in a crime, Frisco said.

Proof of ownership is not required to turn in a gun, but participants will need to submit their names and other identifying information, Frisco said.

Gee...I'll bet all of the criminals are jumping at the chance to turn in their stolen guns and give the cops their names.

Sheesh. At least when the big cities do it, they make it anonymous.

Do you really have to ask???????

Has anyone told the French Army about this?

Any one remember the cola wars of the 1970's ? When Pepsi occupied Paris for 90 days?

Wearing new nikes=unarmed?

Hey guys, if we steal some guns from someone and turn them in to the cops they will give us some new shoes...

Athletic shoes? Did the sheriff decide the fried chicken and watermelons for guns was a little too blatant?
