What’s really great is that some guy offloaded his rusty old rifle and hopefully put the money toward ammo or a new gun.

This was a "giveback". These were guns people gave to police, just to get rid of them.

A triumph of propaganda over self interest, if the guns were of any value.

Sometimes guns worth thousands of dollars are given away to police.

Yep, I just looked up where the town is located. Typical down easter leftist area.

Course you can’t just throw away an old steel tube, you have to turn it in.

You once featured me in one of your articles when I turned in a fatally broken gun at a “buyback” for more that I actually paid for it.
