[SPST]

What idiot would pay to get rid of ammo in todays climate?

Sometimes I think I'm living in some kind of altered reality universe.

 

[Clint_lnl]

Sit across from there with a sign.

I BUY AMMO FOR CASH

Bet you would get everyone coming to you instead.

 

[Tim]

I would take advantage of something like that.

I have plenty of range pick ups, duds, bad reloads, etc. sitting in a box waiting for me to "someday" pull and reclaim components.

Edit: The article says only 'factory' rounds. Why would that be?

 

[Bahamadon]

The weekend after the ammo collection is when they have their annual BOOK BURNING if I remember correctly.

 

[Ferrisfan]

I don't think their definition of "dispose of properly" is the same as mine.

 

[ProfMagoo(ret)]

The government wants your ammo. Hrrmmm. Oh, right, nothing going on here ... just move along.

And how could they tell the difference?

 

[Steve]

lol, park a truck down the road with a sign, drop off ammo here for free, regardless of weight

 

[GeorgeBush]

Driving it straight to those antifa nerds "training" in the woods...

 

[noway2]

And how could they tell the difference?

That’s what I was just thinking. I have some copper jacketed hand loads that look like factory. just put them in a factory bI’d, they won’t know the difference.

 

[yard mongrel]

Load up some 9mm with a few drams of mercury fulminate and turn them in, fellas.

Just stick them in an old ammo box. If it's the same caliber they'll never know the difference. Screw' em.

 

[RetiredUSNChief]

Obviously these gullible people have no idea what kind of premium prices such ammo carries in the current climate.

"Pay" to dispose of it? "Give" it away for disposal?

My *ss. Sell that stuff and make a few bucks.

 

[Goofyfoot2001]

Just read the article.

That my friends is the most retarded thing I have ever heard of.

The way this works is you have a large junk drawer or two and you throw all of your odd, weird, unknown rounds in it. When you die, your kinfolk let the enthusiastic young uns rummage through and take it all. They then put it in their junk drawers and the cycle is complete.

I am having a gold and silver disposal pick up. Just call me before that silver tarnishes and the gold starts to lose it's luster.

Good grief, I though Wisconsin people had more sense than that. I mean the Dremel tool was invented there.

 

[JohnFreeman]

If you have the misfortune to read their Waste System webpage (perhaps looking for a victim to disparage) you'll find that TV sets are hazardous waste too. That's ONE policy I agree with.

put them in a factory box

 

[IUHoosier429]

Single dumbest thing I've read all year, and this is 2020.

I'd really like to know how the county intends to ensure all that ammo is properly disposed of vs. simply "disappearing" after forfeiture. I'd imagine there's about to be a bunch of solid waste workers who coincidentally () become Armslist thousandaires. Or the county itself flips a bunch of this stuff to pay for fancy new snowplows and whatnot.

 

[RedneckFur]

Load up a few 308 or 30-06 rounds full to the brim with Titegroup, and drop 'em off.

 

[WadeWatts]

My thoughts exactly. 50 grains of titegroup would disintegrate the rifle!

 

[Tim]

All Y'all saying to put reloads in factory boxes are missing the point of my question. I'm wondering WHY the distinction, not how to get around it.

‘cuz they can’t resell reloads.

 

[Pogue]

Hope they don’t collect a round....it’s disgusts me.

 

[Stick]

Bingo. Foller the doller and you won't go wrong.

 

[RetiredUSNChief]

Edit: The article says only 'factory' rounds. Why would that be?

Easy.

Because when these people take all that ammunition they're collecting home for their own, they want to know they're shooting factory loads and not reloads someone loaded with compressed rifle powder and magnum primers and then seated the bullets too deep.

If they're truly "disposing" of the ammunition, it shouldn't make a bit of difference if it's factory or reloads. The fact that it does tells me a bit about how they intend to "dispose" of the ammunition.

So...watertight screw that.

 

[Clint_lnl]

Heres one thing I thought was stupid they said.

( The county said on their Solid Waste webpage that all of the ammunition collected goes to a licensed hazardous waste facility where it will be incinerated )

Submariners have their very own slang.

I'd say try out the Dissenter browser, but it looks like it isn't working at the moment for me. When it does, it allows commenting on any and every internet page!
