Cheap Gun Buy Opportunity in Forth Worth, Texas!? Gun ‘Buyback’!
AmmoLand ^ | June 22, 2022 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 06/25/2022 5:21:05 AM PDT by marktwain

A gun turn-in event is scheduled for June 27, 28, 29, and 30th, 2022 which is Monday through Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.  It is an unusual approach, during working hours. Most of these events are scheduled for weekends.

The event called by the Orwellian term “buy back” (police cannot “buy back” items that they have never owned), is scheduled to be held at the Northwest Division. The address is 4651 N Main St Fort Worth, TX 76106.

$100 gift cards will be given out for firearms turned in. There are few firearms worth less than $100 on the open market.

Fort Worth Police Station at 4651 N Main Street

A year previously, a similar program had people turn in 250 firearms in the City of DeSoto, Texas. DeSoto is on the south edge of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.  A quick look at the firearms turned in at DeSoto reveals a number of decent shotguns and rifles, and some interesting antiques.

The Dallas/Fort Worth area is in the middle of gun country, so the potential pool of people who have inherited guns, know nothing about them, and who want to turn them into police, is potentially large.  This group exists.  They are not willing to take the extra time or even understand the opportunity to obtain more money at a gun show or with a private sale. There will be a few ideologically driven types who will not take cash, but they are a small minority.

Working against this potential is the cost of driving to the police area. Private sales are not banned in Texas. I expect a significant number of private purchasers to show up, in order to scoop up whatever bargains are brought in.

Almost any working gun is worth more than $100

Buy me something then ship it to me in the mail.

Maybe a Saturday Night Special with a bump stock and a silencer.

Skip any of that stupid FFL stuff.

I have an RPG, unfired, that I can get rid of.

It’s a really good Role Playing Game.

I sold off all my firearms years ago to a nice gentleman at a E Fort Worth car wash.

The Uvalde SWAT team has a bunch of firearms they don’t use.

The government steals my money through forced taxation to then use it to bribe people into willingly giving up their 2nd amendment right.

Democrat party government is the enemy.

WTH is going on with Texas? used to be the last place one would expect a buy back.

Beto from Texas.

“ Texas State Board of Education rejects conservative-backed Heritage Classical Academy charter school for third time”

The most homeless I ever say was in Austin, including San Fran (and that was 5 years ago).

Although come to think of it wasn’t Lyndon Banes Johnson from Texas? Maybe a liberal streak has existed there longer than I thought.

$100 for an unloaded? Given the price of ammo, what will they pay for a loaded?

Guns are sturdy stuff. Really hard to get rid off. You cannot just throw them into garbage. They are hard to somehow melt or destroy in any other way.
So these buyback programs are ideal!
Not only you can get rid of old, nonworking gun safely, they even give you some money!
Some of those buybacks were “no question asked”, which turned out to be great way for criminals to get rid of evidence!
I think, they now got smarter.

Wow! That would be some alchemy! Those people really don’t know much about guns ...or police.

Hey, if guns can go out and commit violence all by themselves, they should be able to go through the police academy too.
