Ottawa gun amnesty nets 19th century breechloader

CBC || January 29, 2006

Ottawa city's gun amnesty hasn't even started but police have already raked in dozens of firearms, including at least one that's about 200 years old.

So far police have collected 43 guns since the city announced on Jan. 5 its plans to host the amnesty as part of a larger strategy to reduce gun crime in the city.

Police showed off part of their haul to media Friday morning.

One-third of the guns collected were missing essential working parts, and most were several decades old, such as the only semi-automatic pistol in the haul, an 80-year-old German Walther .380, a rusty antique breechloader from the 19th century, and two old-style revolvers of the 'Saturday night special' design.

Police also raked in a number of shotguns, hunting rifles and BB guns.
