Cheap Gun Opportunity at San Antonio Gun Buyback Event

In San Antonio, Texas, at the Alamodome parking lot, a gun buyback is planned from noon to 5 p.m. “Buyback” is an Orwellian term designed to give the impression all guns come from the government. You can not “buy back” what you never owned.  A more correct term would be gun turn-in because the guns are turned in to the police to be destroyed.

A flurry of gun turn-in/”buyback” events have been scheduled recently for Dallas, El Paso, and San Antonio, Texas, and for three cities in New Mexico. Much of the money for these events comes from dollars created by the Biden administration. $100,000 of the funds for the San Antonio event are “rollover funds,” funds that were not spent in the last budget. The event in San Antonio is planned to be “semi-anonymous.” From ksat.com:

SAN ANTONIO – A North Side councilman hopes to make a dent in San Antonio’s gun violence through a “voluntary weapons exchange,” where people can trade their guns for H.E.B. gift cards with “no questions asked.”

Councilman John Courage is organizing the Nov. 19 event through his District 9 council office, using funds from his district budget and donations.

People can bring as many as 20 unloaded weapons to the Alamodome parking lot that Sunday afternoon and, depending on the condition and type of firearm, receive between $50 and $300 worth of gift cards per weapon.

“Just drive in,” Courage said. “No one’s going to ask your name. No one’s going to ask where you got the weapon. No one’s going to ask where you live. Simple as that.”

The event is semi-anonymous because police will first check to see if the firearm was stolen. If it is stolen, it will be returned to the legitimate owner.
