Third party buyers often attend "buybacks." I am guessing having the Cops remove the weapon from the trunk keeps potential third party buyers from seeing the goods.

Most are junk weapons, more than few probably stolen. But, many people are being lazy. A working weapon at a gun show, or pawnshop can fetch more money in cash or trade. People do not know what they have.

Ever see a politician or one of his/her body guards at one of those events turn one in?.

***On Saturday, city officials will pay $200 for each gun considered an assault rifle, $150 for each handgun and $100 for each long gun. ***

You can get more than that at any pawn shop!

Watch the movie “American Guerrilla in the Philippines”(1950). It shows how to make a slam fire shotgun.
Then hit the hardware stores for the parts.

Someone should show up with a trailer labeled: Ammunition disposal point. All calibers and shotgun shells accepted.

I worked with a lady who immigrated to the US from Russia. They finally got the OK and at the airport they confiscated her grandmother’s wedding ring and pictures of her husband in the military because of state secrets.

I asked her if she could have appealed and she said that it meant starting the immigration process all over and they could have confiscated everything again.

This is where we’re headed - the property is the gubmints and it’s by their good graces you have use of it.

Gun theft pays.

Everyone 'in the know' - knows this is city welfare for criminals...

Cops at these ‘buy backs’ recognize most of the ‘sellers’...(yep, lots of thieves are arrested more than once, twice, twenty times+...)

Here’s how it works: Criminals steal guns when they break into homes (along with cash, jewelry etc) then allow ‘the gullible’ to buy the cheaper guns back (that they don’t want) then use the money to buy better weapons and tools (on the street).
