Even dumber:

Several years ago Toronto had a water gun trade-in program.

Wish i had the link.

The anti gun org set up a deal at the park where kids were to
bring their water pistols and cannons etc and trade the for books, games and puzzles.

The news article described one of the toy water cannons something like, fearsome, and glowed about the real
message the kids were getting.

One brainwashed boy was quoted saying something like, I am glad to get rid of these guns..., or some such.

Wish I could find that article.

and just think, that the thugs are going to turn in AK’s, UZI’s and the like for $250.00 when the street value is 10X. I don’t think so.

Not you. The buy back idiots. Just pointing out that you could make money on the deal.

That is what I was thinking, if the $250 applies to any gun!

Yup, thats whay I read last week, they 'ran out' of money due to dealers unloading [pun intended] cheap junk by the trunkfull...econ 101...

I have been praying for such an offer, it would allow me to get more than some guns are worth and allow me to buy more firepower in a newer model.

How can it be a buyback if they are not the ones that sold the guns in the first case?

Also, do they have an FFL? They are violating the one gun a month law, the waiting period, background check, etc.
