- A CBS News investigation found thousands of guns once used by officers have been discovered at crime scenes. A Philly resident who lost her son to gun violence said there needs to be "more awareness" about this issue.
UnFREAKINGbelievable. It's not about the guns, laws, and abiding citizens...criminals don't get their guns legally.
The answer is simple...Cop sells old gun, old gun gets put on the shelf for sale, straw purchaser buys same gun(unknowingly it's an old service weapon), gives it or sells it to her babydad and his homies. The same gun gets used in a homicide. Serial numbers on guns never change unless altered. See how easy that was
Its nt the guns that turn to crime
The problem is not police selling their old guns, it’s a select group not acting right. And everybody making excuses for them all day everyday.
Stop blaming the guns...
I told them long ago, my folks gun ended up at a crime scene in L.A and he's been dead since 2005
Was the gun stolen?
@@J-nd9ub No they were sold at Oaks
One of the pistols in my EDC rotation is a Glock 27 roll marked with "California Game Warden." In a neat twist, that pistol isn't legal for California residents to own under their ridiculous laws.
Trading in saves the departments, and therefore the taxpayer, a lot of money. This is not an issue.
We've been telling you who's really doing the drive bys in the "hood".
Philadelphia police sold nearly 900 used inanimate objects. Horrible reporting.
They are not sold they are traded in to the dealer selling them new guns
Wrong. I personally know this for a fact
@@sheen9957This “news” story is about police trade-ins. So the OP is correct.
This is dumb.
They take evidence off the guns beforehand, ever see CSi??
This isn't new but I'm glad it's becoming news.
This is normal police departments sell them to distributers across America, I own a few legally purchased.
@@phillydee1004oK and i just read how one of these guns ended up at a crime.
52,000 guns. Not 20 or 500.
I thought recycling was what we were supposed to do?
I hope they arrest the guns that are committing these crimes.
If u sell them to gun sellers that sell guns only someone that is legally allowed to buy a gun will be able to buy it. So it doesn't matter cuz they can buy and gun they want anyway. Criminals don't buy guns legally they steal them or buy them from those that sell them illegally
The irony of crime and violence terrorizing a city supported by weapons from the Philadelphia Police recycled arsenal. 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏾👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼
That's who drops the guns off in the hood.
Exactly
Conspiracy theories
@@kskeel1124 how when people have been saying this for years and literally the proof is right in front of my face I know you're a racist and it bothers you at night
@@kskeel1124not gonna lie with all the documents that have been released to the public some shady stuff do be going down and it makes you wonder if those theories about keeping lower areas like that down are true.
Good, glad they are not wasting resources!
Oh! But it's the law abiding gun owner who is the problem!!!!!
They still have to go through an FFL dealer and a background check is done.
Usual suspects: cops
Typical
The community poo lice
Its the Hunger games in the hood. The cops hides them in different areas in the hood and parks.
Nothing like keeping the criminals supplied as job security
Condolences to this mother
I promise you, the people that killed that lady’s son were already forbidden to own guns by law.
Let the cops profile and Stop and Frisk certain people. Recall Krasner.
So, to cite a tired phrase "Where's the beef?" This story provides no insight as to where and what the problem is, If surplus guns are sold to a licensed FFL dealer, future purchasers need to undergo a Federal background NCIS check, just as they would for any new or used firearm. So, how are malefactors getting around background checks? If they are sold to retired LEO's are the former cops passing them around in the 'hood? Are they giving them away to criminal family members or gang members? It should be straightforward to track down the path of these guns. "Awareness" of the problem means nothing in the absence of the shoe leather detective work needed. The needed work is patently obvious.
They cannot give a handgun away legally.
Cool , I would like to have seen their inventory .
Yeah, they usually don't treat their guns all that great. They view them as tools. Sure they keep them clean and working but they are likely to be all scratched and nicked. I'd much rather buy new. PSP does this too.
Wow!! Make sense why so many crimes go unsolved especially if they are traced back to a police office smh 🤦♀️
NOT SHOCKED AT ALL !!!🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Sound like the X-Files if you ask me😂😂😂😂😂
900 pieces of evidence
This isn't news or newsworthy.
Dear CBS, as long as the guns were sold to people not prohibited from owning a gun, there's no problem.
Philadelphia's problem is that there are not, by law, enough guns in the RIGHT hands.
Why is she shocked?
Nothing new it just came to light in Philadelphia
Shure its also the gun which turns to crime because when there is no gun, this kind of crime cannot happen. Its an easy logic !
why not trace a used car vin# back to the original owner and blame them if someone gets a DUI or has a accident after they sell it back or trade it in to the car lot 🤔
after all they would be responsible for what it's used for after their not the legal owner anymore right 🤔
This is a reach I guess we had to make a story to hate police smh
Clickbait. They end up in stores next to the same models.
Just like the drugs we get them from the police 😂
Responsibility, accountability! Integrity! Law enforcement are lacking. Keeping the Duce Stew boiling! It's the attitude. "I'm a police officer. Nothing is supposed to happen to me.". Want to be seen as the crime stopper.
This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Old guns should be sold to recover same money out of them. How about this women call for criminal be held accountable in stead of the guns. Guns are tools jest like any hammer . It up to the person to do or eval or good. FJB
Commonplace? Oh wow...unaware?wow..
Its probably as simple as the said federal purchasers not doing thorough enough background checks when selling their stock.
Gun running is a particularly lucrid and legally dubious kind of racket.
You cannot sell a handgun in any venue without going through an FFL dealer and a background check done in Penna. Not privately, not at a gun show. Can't give it away without going through the proper channel.
Yeah and police sell their old stuff including their cars too. And we know hood folks love a good caprice classic with the spot light
Yeah. There's a web site for it. Municibid, I think. I would never buy an old cop car. Been driven hard by a number of people, none of whom own it.
Good. It’s not like they go to some gun disposal facility. Plenty of retired police cars are out on the streets too.
i wonder how much he made
The truth will come out...and it will
Your story produced zero guns being used in any specific crimes. Wasted time from your media hype.
Sure guns are never used in crime
The media does not see their job to be informing people. They see their job as shaping opinions and getting the right people elected.
@@richardmesser1091 Not what was stated. No instance of crimes committed using the sold service weapons is what was stated.
And then you wonder why the crime rate in Philly is the way it is
Yeah. It's the guns. Sure. Not the "urban youths" that love crime and violence and have zero impulse control.
Once again the corrupt politicians, justice system & thugs with badges are not held responsible like you or I would be.
I hope the mother realizes who are the real criminals out there, not the regular joe gun buyer.
These weapons all have to be sold exactly like every other handgun- through an FFL dealer with background checks. They are held to the exact same standards that you and I would be held to.
@@cvn6555 STANDARDS, FOR COPS ? I know better, I have 2 very good friends in our local police force. They take home confiscated handguns, drugs & rifles home with them. IF YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW.
Talk about and think about?

Holder did worse, you did not complain, because he is blsck.
"Pass a ban on ghost guns." LOL Oxymoron, you can't ban what you can't see. Gun control is obsolete thanks to the proliferation of 3D printing.
Oh ok so it’s the police who are at fault?!
These guns are sold legally and once the police trade them in its not a law enforcement issue, its a criminal issue.
Old weapons turning up a at crime scenes how is that sentence even possible and why isn't every cop in that department in jail😢
So What if they sell them !!! Even those confiscated should be sold back to the public !!
Job security

Ford F-150
Kia Forte

Kia Optima
Hyundai Sonata

You missed it.
😂 the department is desparate lol
they opening up a can of worms somebody snitching!
This is public knowledge and was never a secret. The proceeds from the sales are shown as a line item in the police budget. All income and out go has to be accounted for and this is no different. I am on a police commission and when we upgrade the service weapons, the officers can purchase them or we sell them to an FFL dealer and the money we get is shown in the financial documents.
Stop already with the gun control fear mongering gibberish, please 🥺 😂
Brain dead greed plane and simple greed
plain
Greed from who?
CBS Philadelphia, your news is lame 🤣
