Quote:
When police officers announced this year’s gun buy-back program would allow residents to exchange their guns for Wal-Mart gift certificates, they never expected a woman possessing a World War II-era Nazi Assault Rifle to take the bait.
The gun buy-back program allows residents to anonymously turn in firearms to be destroyed. In exchange, the Hartford Police Department gives them a $50 or $100 gift card to Wal-Mart, depending on the type of weapon.
The Sturmgewehr 44, meaning “storm rifle,” dates back to 1944. Crabtree revealed it was the first “modern assault rifle ever made, eventually replaced by the AK 47 in 1947 by Russia, who copied the German design of the Sturmgewehr 44.”

The article states the gun is worth $20-25,000 but the video on the site states $30-40,000.
The video is well worth the quick watch, a lot more information on the gun is provided and you can tell the officers are giddy just be be able to hold the gun.
The cops doing the right thing by not destroying the gun, allowing the lady to keep it and sell it.
