The total number of weapons collected citywide was 4,050, including 55 assault weapons, 1,335 handguns, and 600 replicas.
At Uptown Baptist Church, one of two North Side collection points, area residents had dumped 200 rifles by 12:30 p.m. Saturday, including a machine gun that had been in a fire. Another man presented a box of replica handguns, each worth $10.
Virtually all of the guns turned in Saturday at Uptown aren't the kind likely to be used to commit crimes.
“There’s not a functional gun in the lot,” said [...] a 23rd District CAPS officer.
So 200-plus guns at an average of $75 per is $15,000 wasted for non-functional weapons that never would have hurt anyone unless used as a blunt instrument. But they are useful props in Shortshanks' ongoing war against the US Constitution.
