Missile dumped at US gun amnesty
A man in Florida surprised police by handing in a surface-to-air missile launcher during a gun amnesty in the city of Orlando. Under the no-questions-asked scheme, "Kicks for Guns", anyone who surrendered a firearm would receive trainers or $50 (£25). [/p] The Orlando Sentinel newspaper said the man exchanged the rocket launcher for designer footwear for his daughter. [/p] He told the newspaper he found the 4ft (1.2m) weapon in a shed last week. [!-- E SF --] [/p] The unidentified man said he had tried in vain to get rid of the launcher, which is designed to blow aircraft out of the sky. [/p] "I took it to three dumps to try to get rid of it and they told me to get lost." [/p] "I didn't know what to do with it, so I brought it here," he told the newspaper.
