No questions asked for the guns the criminals sell to the Popos. Stolen guns, used in murders, how better to get rid of the evidence?

Very few stolen guns turn up at these events.

The idea that a gun can be linked to a murder with ballistic evidence does not hold up in practice, unless the gun is already linked to the murder. In very unusual circumstances, it is possible. Those circumstances are very, very rare.

I only recall reading about one case, and it was problematic.

States which tried implementing such a system have stopped doing so.

Lots of money spent, no return.

Gun buybacks are terrible. It encourages theft as degenerates to break into other people’s homes and cars to get free guns to turn in for cash, no questions asked. My daughter lives in an upscale suburb near San Antonio and the theft has been increasing the last few months.

Oh yes. Some dumb old widow turns in an Italian shotgun worth thousands or an old H&H double rifle and of course it will be duly destroyed. Yep. Sure. You bet. Those Desert Eagles and Super Redhawks too. The cops would never keep them. Oh no. /s

Set up a table near the “buy back” and have a sign that says “paying $10 more than what the “buy back” program will give you... see me after you get an offer from the other peeps”

Houston spent $77K on gun buybacks this weekend. They were giving out gift cards.

TEXAS of all places. Can’t believe it!

From the TEXAS Declaration of Independence...

It has demanded us to deliver up our arms, which are essential to our defence, the rightful property of freemen, and formidable only to tyrannical governments.

“Stolen guns, used in murders, how better to get rid of the evidence?”

Well, Ms ATF Agent, I turned all my guns in at a buy back event years ago. I don’t recall when or where, but I got $100 in Wal Mart gift cards!

Has it been DEMANDED or is this
a FREEDOM OF CHOICE option?

You will never see a Gun buy back situation in our town, nobody will turn anything in especially if it works.

I’ll bet the break-ins are in proportion with the surges of invaders wading in the Rio Grande looking for a Border Patrol clown to cut the concertina wire for them. It isn’t a coincidence that they carry the cutters with them on “patrol”.
IMPEACH MAYORKAS!!! He’s not doing his job! (Or maybe he is).

But, let me just say that your drag queen outfit and makeup are FABULOUS!
