I wish they would have one of these gun buybacks in my hometown, I have an old, cheap .22 that I let the kids plink cans with when they were young until the firing pin broke. The gun store says would be far more expensive to repair than too buy a new one. I would love to pawn off the useless piece of junk to some unsuspecting liberal for more than it was ever worth brand new!

Hey, I live in Los Angeles county. I wish I had some neighbors with crappy rusted hardware I could sell to the LAPD!

I was at an Orlando gun show a couple of years ago. A pawn shop table had revolvers in 55 gallon drums for $15 each with information about a gun buyback where they were offering $30/gun. Turns out that millions of .38 short black powder guns were produced into the 1930’s. They were, I was told, $1 guns back then. They shoot no modern rounds, although they’ll chamber a 9mm. They’re made from pot metal and although some of them have nice rolled graphics, they’re junk. My uncle, who has been in the gun business for years, told me that “every pawn shop” had dozens of these and some of them try to dry up the buyback funds by selling them at shows. Where else can you make 100% on your money?

BTW, my neighbor’s high school kids owned a couple of these for carry pieces. I think it was the fashion to have a gun. I explained how dangerous they were as the pot metal may or may not hold up when firing a 9mm. Don’t know if they ever got rid of them or not.
