A gun turn in event in York, Pennsylvania delivers an opportunity for brave Second Amendment activists to obtain some nice guns for little money. Their actions would also create a media event to protect Second Amendment Rights.
The event will be held at Fire Station #5, 833 East Market Street, on the 27th of October. The only time given is 6 p.m.
The City of York and The York County District Attorney’s Office will hold a Gun Buy Back in the City of York on Friday October 27, 2017, 6:00pm, located at York City Fire Department, Station #5 – Goodwill, 833 E. Market Street, York, PA.

Resources may be limited. Sources have informed me the Mayor and City Council are appropriating the money for the cards.

I wish my local yokel goo goos were stupid enough to do this, I’d be there with bells on.
