Amazon donates $30000 to anti-gun propaganda

[motoxmann]

My wife works for Amazon and she received an email from a supervisor this morning addressing this issue. I can't share the email because she received it through an internal email (plus it's a "protected email" that employees are forbidden to share.) But basically it said if they get a call from a pro-gun rights person to tell the caller that their concerns have been noted and forwarded to the appropriate person.

But guess what??? They won't be. It's a lie. They provided no forms and didn't advise the employees of who the "appropriate person" is. In short, they directed their employees to lie to the pro-gunner to pacify them. Your concerns to Amazon will fall on deaf ears.....unless of course you are an anti..

^politicians take note^: unfair discriminatory treatment, reverting back to techniques implemented during times of slavery and heavy racism

Regarding returning buy-back firearms to their rightful owners if stolen, I came across this in the Kentucky Revised Statutes when looking for something else this morning.

www.lrc.ky.gov/KRS/237-00/025.PDF

237.025 Requirements for local gun buy-back programs.
(1) Each law enforcement agency of state, county, urban-county, charter county, or city government or any other law enforcement agency that participates in a "gun buy- back program" or other program in which firearms or ammunition are purchased or surrendered for the purpose of destruction shall assure that:
(a) The serial number of each firearm that is purchased or surrendered to the program is checked against local, state, and federal records of stolen firearms and, if it is found that the firearm is a stolen firearm, that the firearm is not destroyed without the written permission of the lawful owner thereof and that if the lawful owner of the firearm does not give written permission for the firearm to be destroyed, that the firearm is returned to its lawful owner;
(b) If it is determined that a firearm that is purchased by, or surrendered to the "gun buy-back program" is stolen, that the law enforcement makes an effort to arrest the thief or any person who possessed the firearm knowing it was stolen; and
(c) Prior to the destruction of any firearm that is purchased or surrendered, that a written determination is made as to whether the firearm may have been used in a crime, and that if it is determined that the firearm probably was used in a crime, that it is retained for evidence, and if it is determined that the firearm probably was not used in a crime, if the firearm is a rifled firearm, that a fired bullet and fired cartridge case is retained for possible use as evidence and that if the firearm is a smooth bore firearm, that a fired cartridge case is retained for possible use as evidence.
(2) Prior to returning a stolen firearm to a lawful owner, the law enforcement agency
shall determine whether or not the lawful owner is eligible to possess a firearm under federal law. If the lawful owner of the firearm is ineligible to possess a firearm under federal law, the law enforcement agency may destroy the firearm after compliance with subsection (1)(c) of this section.

Of course, this only applies to Kentucky and not to every other state, but I'm glad to see that Kentucky requires by law that the guns also be used(although I'm not crazy about the state police keeping ballistics evidence on it).

That would have been me, I was planning on calling them on Monday. I/we buy a lot of stuff from Amazon. I will make no more purchases from Amazon if they have donated the gift cards. If they sold them that is a different story.

I ask her what she would do if she received a call on this matter (she hasn't yet.) She said they (Amazon) gave them no options on what to do other than listen, lie, hang up and forget about it. She was pretty upset considering that she is pro 2A as well, but she is in one of those situations about not biting the hand that feeds ya

It all makes sense now.

I forgot all about Amazon shipping a firearm instead of a TV.
