[I got the rope]

I’ll offer $201.00 for your guns.

[wastedyears]

They always do things backwards in NYC.

Sometimes I’m ashamed to be from Brooklyn. This is one of them.

[Be_Politically_Erect]

I suppose it’s an annonymous buy so people will be encouraged to bring any ol’ gun in.

Good news for the people that want to settle some scores the night before the gun buy.

This lib feel-good stuff is amazingly stupid.

[TornadoAlley3]

spending $300,000 on this and officials hope to run out of money. Will take all guns even if loaded, doing this at 6 churches, 20 bucks for BB guns.

[DuncanWaring]

Each gun is worth a $200 Chase Bank card - limit three per person. ... Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly promises the transactions will remain anonymous.

If the transactions are anonymous, how are they going to enforce the three-per-person limit?

[Domandred]

$200 is high enough to make a decent profit on a bunch of cheap and junk guns. Too bad NY is too far away and my profits would get eaten up by gas money.

[Domandred]

Bah didn’t see the limit :(. Lame.

[max americana]

What happened to the “$100 for your knife” campaign?

[JOE6PAK]

I have two Jennings arms .22 cal that cost about $75.00 each. Turn them in and I can get me another Ruger SP-101!

I can get one for under $400.00.

What a deal!

[arderkrag]

Better deal - bullets are less than $1 a piece. I’ll give them 200 slightly-used, in transit rounds and keep the gun.

[edzo4]

how much for illegal aliens?

[TornadoAlley3]

no no, they take your money and you have to keep them.

[freeplancer]

WOw, maybe I should buy a bunch of old black powder clunkers and head to NY.

[kenth]

Illegal guns? So they’re encouraging theft and burglary? Outstanding. :-P

[Popman]

$200 is high enough to make a decent profit on a bunch of cheap and junk guns.

Reminds me of Orkando, Florida a couple years ago that did a free sneaker promo and got a couple of hundred weapons turned in, which all of a dozen actually were in working order. The rest were junk broke and in pieces

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I’ll take some 3/4 inch water pipe, cut it to 20 inches, take another pipe that will slip over it and a pipe cap, I now have a scrap “slam fire” shotgun! Cost ...maybe $10.00.

$190.00 profit from this deal! Not bad for ten minute’s work!

[riverrunner]

I wish it was near by I have several very cheap handguns true saturday night specials I would gladly get 200 dollars for. Then turn around and buy some better ones.
