The government does not like competition
Maybe they can use the gift cards to buy better weapons.
Agreed. The State's Constitution says the following:
Art II, Sec. 6. [Right to bear arms.]
No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.
Seattle had a similar gun buyback January 26th. However, private vendors turned it into a gun show complete with free donuts and signs that read, Fast cash for your gun and Want more than a $100 gift card? These private gun sales were an embarrassment to the anti-gun liberal Left even though they declared it an overwhelming success. The Seattle Police Department gave out more than 1,000 give cards of $100 or $200 (depending on the gun) before running out. Lucky for those wishing to get rid of a gun to have a willing private vendor there to give cash for an unwanted gun.
Seattle Mayor, Mike McGinn vowed that the next gun buyback will not have these private gun sales. His legal council has told him how he can do it. This is what a man has to do to be reelected in the next election. For the reasons why this is all self promotion for these ego ridden politicians and little of other use, read at the following link:

Get private body guards and lawyers. : )

Tyrants survive and prosper through intimidation. Those who refuse to allow it can defeat them. But it takes guts and planning!
Have a number of people FILM the police refusing the right of citizens to buy guns at these “turn in” events. Also, ASK police for their FFL license.
If no one does these tings, don’t complain when all of your rights are lost. You brought it on yourself.
