Funny you should mention that. I have always wanted to set up a table a few yards away from one of those ridiculous “buy-backs” and offer $5 to $10 more than the cops are offering.
I once saw video on the news of a guy standing in line at a DC gun “buy-back” holding a new-looking Armalite AR15, for which he was going to collect the princely sum of $100.
Another woman bragged on camera about getting $50 for her dead father’s “...old revolver, which always scared me as long as it was in the house, but I just never knew what to do with it”. The “old revolver” turned out to be a ‘60s vintage nickel-finish Colt Python .357 magnum.
It never ceases to amaze me ho stupid some sheeple are.
The comments about LOL (little old ladies) bringing in their dead husband's weapons are especially true in Manatee County. Law enforcement is specifically targeting households with guns because they may be burglarized and guns are the prized loot, followed by kids taking their parents weapons.
So, instead of getting rid of the bad guys who burglarize homes, taxpayer funds are used to make a few folks feel good.
I think it's a great idea to set up a table just outside the buyback driveway to look for bargains and collector's items.
