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.

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!
