Gun "buyback" programs are absolutely worthless when it comes to improving public safety, but they remain popular among politicians who want to say they're doing "something" about crime in their communities.

In Chicago, however, a compensated confiscation program hosted by longtime anti-gun activist Father Michael Pfleger and run by the Chicago PD appears to have actually enabled a crime after a gun that was turned in turned up in the hands of a teenager.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, an internal investigation led to a one-day suspension for a police sergeant who supervised the "buyback", but nobody else has been disciplined for allowing the gun to disappear.

The guns didn't "disappear". The cops are selling them on the black market, you fucking retards. The mayor is probably in on it.
