I’ll pay $210.

The state can’t buy something back that it never owned.

[fruser1]

Gun theft pays.

“Police officers will be on hand to safely remove the guns from the trunks.’

And will document your license plate number and add you to the enemies of the state list. /s - sort of.

[MCEscherHammer]

Yup, body cam time...!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Bring in 2 dozen super soakers.

[Adder]

Looks like a lot of them were broken and useless. Payments would go to the purchase of new, working models.

I have a rusted frame from an Ethan Allen single shot pistol from from 1830’s.

Its sort of interesting but $200? Its just sitting in a drawer and it is not like it could be restored.

[Theophilus]

And gloves.

[Does so]

“Buy-backs” have bought airguns, inoperative firearms, and stolen guns.

It occurs to me that you could make a Home Depot run this morning collecting all of the parts to make four ZIP guns, assemble them; tell your mother-in-law she can make an extra $800 for Christmas shopping, all’s she needs to do is drop these pipe fittings off at the location of the gun buyback. ;-)

Beat me to it! LOL

What other private property does that city perceive they hold title to? Are they going to buyback your car? Your wife’s wedding ring? Your tools? Your computer? Your investments?

Since firearms are an inanimate object, how about a buyback program on those persons committing crime? If good cash awards were offered to turn in or locate bad guys... maybe that would have a reduction in crime. Imagine the horror of driving a culture that wants to stop criminals?

The problem is that it would work, and would be quickly followed by cries of racism or some other nonsensical BS.

FOR JUNK GUNS READY FOR THE SCRAP HEAP?

I’ve 3 not in use, good shape, even some ammo for them. THEY ARN’T GETTING MY CARRY GUN OR AR15. PROUD MEMBER OF THE 2ND AMENDMENT SUPPORTERS.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Sending MIL very funny LOL, LOL!!!

[EastTexasTraveler]

“100% anonymous”

The city is acting as a fence for stolen guns.

[Harpotoo]

I’ve got 2 water guns I’ve no use for:-)

I considered selling my weapons “back” to the government, but after a background check and thorough investigation into the buyer, I determined the buyer has a history of violence and is mentally unstable. Big risk to society. Secondly, How can you sell anything back to someone who never owned it? If anything, the government should be selling their weapons back to us, the people since we paid for them.

This would be the answer to the fed's but it'll do in this case.
