Program paid $200 to anyone who turned in a gun
New York City officials say 919 guns were collected during a one-day buy-back program at six Queens churches. Watch Video
Nearly 1000 guns were taken off the street in Queens Tuesday.
The program paid $200 to anyone who turned in a gun. A pellet or BB gun was worth $20. The officials say they paid a total of $158,880.
The weekend buy-back results were announced Tuesday by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
Since last summer, similar programs in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island _ plus the Queens effort _ have netted more than 3,500 guns. More than half of them are handguns.
The goal is to reduce crime and tragic accidents.
I’m thinking about having my own gun buyback in the nearest hood. Its perfectly legal to buy guns from an individual. Maybe I can go $20 $25 dollars each then turn them for a profit at the next fool ass high priced gun buyback. Maybe Barack will give me some stimbulus money and I can be a community organizer too.
Q. If a new Hi-Point CF380 sells for $120 and Queens pay $200 per gun and bought 1000 guns in their buyback program, how much money did Bubba make scamming the city slickers?
A. $80,000, no questions asked.
Hi Point is a good reliable model, made in Ameirca, but every model is heavy, very heavy.

I used to work part time in a gun shop which sold high end guns but also some low end. The Hi Point were reliable and reasonably accurate. I guess that makes them good in a way but I never could warm up to them.
Just too crude.
The carbine looked a bit better but still pretty crude.
Now just an idea, but a water pipe zip gun can be made for close to nothing,are they paying $200 for any firearm?
All ya need to do is bend the wings on the feed lip of the magazine a mm or two for perfect feeding. Nothing unreliable whatsoever about the firearm itself. And that lifetime no-questions warranty. Worth more than $200 to me. Doesn’t seem all that heavy to me with all the polymer.
Once again, how is it a “buy-back” if they never owned the guns in the first place? Gotta love the buzzwords the media uses for this useless practice.
