When private purchasers buy guns at gun "buybacks" the propaganda message of the "buyback" ... Guns are bad, turn them in.. is reversed to "Guns are good, I pay cash."

Some of the guns purchased by private individuals at the Fort Worth "buyback".

Most of the guns turned in to the police at the Fort Worth gun "buyback", for $100 gift cards.

That can’t be easy to find anything worth owning at a gun buy back. You would have to be very patient and invest a lot of time. Most of it is rusted, broken junk in .22 LR. Finding a gem in that mess would take a lot of work and patience.

So they pay for the guns...and put them back out on the streets and they think that's the right thing to do. I'm sure from the looks of them that they were just hanging aound in a closet.

In our area, they took the money and bought better guns.

A crappy solution to a crappy problem.

“The private buyers purchased about 30 guns,”

I’m surprised it wasn’t at least 10 times that many.

"Police were offering $100 gift cards to people who turned in working firearms"

I think the private buyers were more selective about their purchases.

Hopefully each one was checked to see if they’re connected to any crimes...and were then officially certified to be free of any suspicion. Anyone who bought a weapon that *hadn’t* been researched and certified is a fool.

I keep hoping that there will be one of those government gun buying carnivals in my area.

I have an old handgun that was in a flood and that I did not find until it had been buried in mud for a couple of weeks. I didn’t have time to try and salvage it at the time so I stuck it a box and forgot about it for a couple of years. When I came across it again it was rusted pretty solid.

I would be happy to trade it for a $100 gift card.

Another image from the "buyback", shows some more nice guns.
