Where free people can still buy firearms privately, private buyers often show up and pay more for the decent firearms, spoiling the political theater in the process.
It is a hard sell to say "guns are bad, turn them in" when you have citizens with signs saying "Cash for guns".
Is that a model 61 Winchester .22LR pump action I see in the pile? Stupid is as stupid does.
Look at those poor guns!! Tied up and left out in the elements to rust. No one to clean them, feed them bullets, or take them out to shoot some deer. This is outrageous. Stop gun abuse!
only 300 million more to go lol. it’s like having a hammer or screwdriver buyback. it’s ridiculous. what’s more ridiculous and upsetting is the trampling of the 2nd amendment.
“It is a hard sell to say “guns are bad, turn them in” when you have citizens with signs saying “Cash for guns”....
Yes, and it is easy to buy guns when you have criminals carrying signs saying “GUNS FOR CASH”....
Try Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City for starters.
From the pictures I have seen the guns are about 90% junk and maybe 5% nice guns and about 5% real treasures.
This stack looks a lot better than most “buy back” guns. Quite a few decent models.
“ignorant widows who did not know the value of what they were disposing of, getting pennies on the dollar for valuable artifacts,”
Maybe the people running these events should be prosecuted for fraud- essentially obtaining valuable property under false pretenses.
Does anyone see any assault weapons in that pile?
I see a few I would take home if I found them at the dump, but most I would leave there.
I wonder how many of those guns were recovered from a boating accident.
Not dead yet...
I would bet not one of those long guns was used in a crime. Not one.
That looks like a dangerous pile. Some of them are Glock AK-47s. Some are pump-action semiautomatic assault rifles. A few even look like they’re fully-automatic bolt action sniper rifles that take high-capacity clips. We’re much safer without those bad guns sneaking out on the town behind their owners’ backs.
