HoCo Gun Buyback, March 16

[lee2]

your penis is showing.

You're wasting your time going to buy. Everything and everyone stays in the car until the cops remove it. I think they even chased away a guy with a sign last year.

Last years was mobbed. So many people showed up the wait was hours long. The way it is organized you don't even get out of your car. The cops take your junk and hand you cash along with a handwritten receipt.

I still remember reading about the guy who turned/sold in a Glock17 last time they did this. He was the feel-good poster boy of the whole event. Howard Co. Times is probably still praising him a year later.

Hmmm...

Anonymous, so how will they know how many guns you've turned in?

Let me see, people are going to the Dorsey Building, staying in their car, while a copper walks up to the registered vehicle and removes whatever weapon is being turned in. Anyone who thinks they're remaining anonymous is just making things far too easy for the PD. Sort of like thinking firearms purchase records aren't retained. Good luck.

I remember reading on this forum last year that they were recording license plate numbers.

 

[Alan3413]

Not so anonymous after all. Bah!

Come stand out there with us. I plan on going. I was at the recent Laurel buyback along with some others. We didn't snag anything good, but at least we were there as defiance.

Care if a non resident comes and stands with you? PCSed here from Colorado and have no intention on being a Maryland resident, but I am willing to stand with you.

no exemption in md's transport laws for "gun buy back". anyone transporting a regulated firearm to one of these events is in violation of md law, no?

 

[rbird7282]

Let's hope it's not a repeat of last year where there were thousands of rounds of ammo, a Glock, several vintage revolvers, etc.
Just sucks to see that stuff.

Awwwww, just read limit of 3... Would only make around $75 on my plan.

You don't have friends and family that can help? I'd bring my wife, parents, and 2 brothers. lol

I really hate the principle of this BS. You guys that are making a little cash on this are probably screwing yourselves in the bigger picture. Kind of the penny wise, dollar foolish mentality. Yeah, you get some easy money today, but risk the backlash to the 2nd Amendment that these things cause.

The one they did last year cost $65,000, which at $100 a gun means that 650 guns were turned in.

1) I have a few junk guns that I would give away before I would EVER consider helping the HoCo PD gun grab look good to the antis and main stream media.

SELLING EVEN YOUR GARBAGE HELPS THEIR CAUSE!!!

2) Anonymous? ********!!! Guns are to be unloaded and left in the trunk, where an officer will retrieve them. Between the officers and the surveillance cameras, does anyone honestly believe that license plates, vehicles, and the occupants of those vehicles aren't being recorded??? Sell them an unregistered NFA item or something that comes back tied to a crime and see how 'anonymous' this buyback really is.

No disrespect to the pro-2A lawmen here, but there is NO WAY I would trust the Howard County PD or any other agency that is participating in a politically motivated, voluntary seizure of firearms.

 

[euchre98]

I agree its a trap. But it may get you on a "good boy" list...

 

[BLACKTALON]

I am going with 4 friends we are all going to turn in 3 beat to crap guns and with the 1200 We made We will be sitting with a sign that reads "Do not destroy History Sell us your gun for $125"

100% agree. I have just one POS among my collection, a Jennings .22 pistol, that I would sooner put to a band saw before turning in to support their stunt.

And your shit will be all over the table for the HoCo PD to gloat to the news cameras about what a success their buyback was. All at taxpayer expense.

My principals won't allow me to give aid to my enemies. But, to each his own.

Ah, stuck in the small picture and failing to see the big picture. Living for today, because tomorrow might never get here. When tomorrow gets here though, then it is "oh crap" time. If you have kids, tomorrow will eventually be here for them.

The metaphors are probably being lost in space, but such is life.
