More mushy headed, touchy-feely, limp wristed Euro-liberalism.
People like poster #8 and others turning in junk guns are doing a good deed when they drain the program of money that would have been used to “buy back” and destroy a perfectly good firearm.
They are paying junk prices for the guns and that is all they should get - junk.
Better, make a junk gun to be turned in from a bit of pipe, a nail, and wooden handle.
Reverse John Galt.
Darn right. Good work, Sig!
It’s not even that. The buyback programs are media dog and pony shows. A bunch of arrogant politicians and desk jockeys use the press and the public treasury to make themselves look good. No good comes from these programs. Gangbangers don’t hand in guns that they might use. They do dispose of crime guns. Others get rid of crap they don’t want, and once in a while an idiot drops a valuable gun because she was conned by Sarah Brady and the MSM. (Sounds like a good name for a band. They could be the opening act for Barfarama.)
No questions asked and the evidence is destroyed by the very agencies who ought to be screaming that the buyback provides a sure method to get rid of items that might otherwise convict a criminal of a felony charge.
Gun buybacks are the worst pandering in this country. It serves them right if they get used.
