On June 28, 2025, there will be a gun turn-in (buyback) in Montgomery, Alabama, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. From blackbeltnewsnetwork.com:

On June 28 CrimeStoppers will host a gun buyback event at Bryant Missionary Baptist Church in Montgomery. 

Anyone who is interested in surrendering a gun can bring in a rifle or shotgun for $50, a functioning handgun for $100 and an assault style/semi-auto rifle for $200.

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  The Church is on Norman Bridge Road, #3645.  The guns can be turned in anonymously. Guns are to be unloaded with ammunition turned in separately. The turn-in is an annual event in Montgomery. It was started in 2017.  In 2018, 73 firearms were turned in. Some of the firearms were decent-quality guns. In 2018, gift cards worth $50 were being given out for working handguns.  Here are some of the handguns turned in, for $50 in 2018:

In the above image, there are what appear to be a Smith & Wesson 1917 revolver in .45 ACP, a Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver, a Beretta tip-up semi-automatic in .22 Short or .25 ACP, and a Colt 1903 model semi-auto, probably in .32 ACP.

In the larger picture, there is a High Standard Military HD and a TEC-22. One of the long guns turned in appears to have been a Remington Model 30, with a scope mounted on it. There is a sporterized Lee Enfield and at least one air rifle.

These gun turn-in events "buybacks" are averaging about a hundred guns in Montgomery. Several of the guns have been worth 4-6 times what the organizers are offering.

I wonder how many were stolen. These buys (how can you buyback something you never owned in the first place?) are nothing more than liberal idiocy on display and while I really don’t need any more firearms I do hope that some people take advantage of the opportunity to acquire what might be a bargain.

[MtnClimber]

Too bad you can’t take an old crappy gun and trade it for something much nicer.

[Phoenix8]

It’s crazy what prices old revolvers are pulling.

Well heck many old weapons like German K98s. I could kick myself for not buying one of those restored Michell Arms Mausers for like 400 bucks….

[MikelTackNailer]

What happens on the lake stays in the lake.

The guns can be turned in anonymously.

Lots of these guns are turned in by criminals who who keep the best for their stash and collect money safely from these stupid events.

[Alas Babylon!]

This is just down the road from me.

How do I go about BUYING one, once they’re turned in?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

You don’t. You hit them up while they’re in the line to turn them in..Just give them a better deal..

[Blood of Tyrants]

The buyers with cash line the street leading up to the buy-back point and most of what gets by them is junk.

[Colt1851Navy]

Check out the various buyer boothes on the sidewalks in the neighborhood for more cash.

[Alas Babylon!]

Alright, but this church is in the ghetto. I’m an old man. Hate to have my cash just stolen.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

I agree it’s a risk, but I sincerely doubt you’d be the only buyer there...

gun buyback

The term is a perfect example of Marxism as the Left's ultimate objective.

The term gun buyback implies the government was the original/previous/rightful owner of the firearm and that the citizen is somehow an illegitimate/unlawful possessor.

If you are carrying, it shouldn’t be a problem...
