A few years ago here in Virginia, a group of gun rights guys went to a gun buyback and offered folks more than the police were offering and picked up a lot of weapons at under the bargain basement prices. We ought to do this all over whenever we hear of these programs.
The folk in NC are not stupid
I was wondering how many of the people that showed up were hoping to get a few firearms cheap from those who might be silly enough to bring operable weapons to give away free.
I have a friend that was a fireman who was sitting in the fire house one day when a recently widowed wife of a WW II vet came in to the fire house an asked the fireman if they could dispose of her husbandâs war souvenirs.
After they got off they went to the womanâs home and took possession of her husbandâs foot locker which contained among other firearms a fully functional Thompson submachine gun.
My friend would never say what became of the contents of that foot locker. I will say that he was an avid fisherman who had more than his share of accidents with his boat.
