HoCo Gun Buyback, March 16

I'm afraid this is where our society, as a whole, is headed...principles can be set aside for profit or personal gain. Sad.

Ummm what principles are being set aside? I turned in 6 Junkers last year and got a PSL.

Lol, I just realized that "banana" is spelled wrong on the list of emoticons.

Spray paint them hot pink with F*ck Owemalley on them.

^THIS is a great idea

Or Ulman...

Or Ulman...

He'll probably be there for a photo op. Doesn't miss many.

 

[Mr H]

Got an ancient rusted .410 with a bent barrel...

Can we get an ffl in the parking lot, have a sign that says gun buyback at $ 125 and buy them before that hit the door.

You would most likely need a permit to do that and I don't think you would get it.

 

[wt71]

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.

Sad thing is that kind of stuff is probability in a cops gun safe somewhere!

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.

It's all about ME.

Can you turn in an "illegal" firearm without fear of reprisal?

Of course! Remember this is 'anonymous' - that is, until they run your tags and run the video they took of you through their facial recognition system. Just because they don't require ID does NOT make it anonymous. They no longer need your identification to figure who and where you are.

Not to metntion your finger prints all over the gun!

At the Laurel buyback, PGPD tried to tell us to go away, saying that we needed a county peddler's permit. UNCommonArms, the FFL01 there, pointed out that he only needed the permit if he were selling stuff on site. Since he was only there to take in, no permit needed.

I think you'd be ok unless the gun was used to commit a crime. If you can't turn in an illegal gun, even gun buy back supporters would have to admit that they don't work.

In other words, it's not anonymous after all?

I have a non-functioning Stevens shotgun. This may be just what the doctor ordered...

I never said it was anonymous. You pull right up to a platoon of cops in your car.

Such an owner of an illegal gun would be way better off cutting up the receiver and selling the parts anyway.

I would love to get $100 for my junk, but I really hate the idea of contributing to their "we got 600 guns off the streets that could have killed everyone" tagline...
