Second City Cop picked it up today.

Was interviewed for Cam and Company yesterday.

Of course, the MSM wants no part of this particular story.

You guys use way too many acronyms. If your bias wasn't so painfully obvious I wouldn't know what half of you are talking about.

Main stream media.
 
Frank Main from the Tribune called today. They are running a story about this tomorrow... This story sure has legs.

Templar223,

Some of us wish to help your noble and worthy cause for the children, so can we ship you our (s)crap items for the next event?
 
You should send a thank you letter, complete with pictures. It would be hilarious to see what they have to say in response.
 
Now watch them try to prosecute for bringing, by your own admission, unregistered guns into the city. . .

Epic troll, though. Wish I could easily give you a POS rifle I've got for such a turn-in. I don't think I'll ever personally encounter a gun worse than a Stevens Model 73Y. There is NOTHING good about that gun.
 
Someone with some casting skills could make molds, make "Saturday Night Specials" of that manufacturer of low cost firearms Daley & Co.
Notice how they never have have a "Turn in Your Controlled Substances" or "Turn in Your Counterfeit Money" programs. How about a "Turn in a Corrupt Government Employee" program?

I'm going to start scouting out garage and estate sales to find some old junkers cheap for next year! I only live about 2 hrs north of downtown chicago, so if i can get my hands on 6 or 7 it's worth it!:D

Click to expand...
Yeah, I think I have a couple already.
Now watch them refuse to take junk guns, then turn around and arrest you for possessing a gun in the city when you try to leave with it!
 
Chicago Tribune is on it - Prominently.

Trib has a big story today and everyone is picking up on it...

It's on the wires, blogs and many of the talk radio stations in Chicago this morning.

Did a WLS AM radio interview. Local TV wants to do a story later today.

Geez, the Sun Times editorial makes me wanna puke. The author criticises a group devoted to teaching firearms safety and responsibility, and then decries the violence commited in Chicago with firearms---comitted by people who probably can't even tell you what the words "safety" or "responsibility" even mean.
I'll bet the author of the editorial never even grasped the irony of his own statements. Sheesh.


Anyway, good on you guys, your efforts, and your organization. you make us all proud!:)

Man ... now that the media has picked up on this there is going to be h e double toothpicks to pay. The only thing worse than a woman scorned is a powerful government agency embarrassed in the media. I'd advise y'all to keep a low profile.
 
That's so awesome, great job!

Hopefully this will catch on around the country. Large groups of people collect trash guns and then trade them in at gun buys to raise money for pro 2nd Amendment causes. That's genius.
