If you’re not out sticking up convenience stores or murdering your neighbors, why turn them in? This doesn’t make sense unless you’re hurtin’ so bad you need the 100 bucks.

No, it doesn't make sense even then. Unless it's a real piece of crap, you could just sell it for more than that, and then you wouldn't have the stigma of having cooperated with statists or diminished the supply of guns on your conscience.

The ONLY time it makes sense to participate in one of these is if the reward is more than the value of the gun and the gun doesn’t work or is just a piece of crap. In that scenario, you’re coming out ahead money-wise and your useless gun is taking a slot that might otherwise have resulted in disarming the public. You get to use the statists’ own money against their objectives.

And even if you are, chances are you could get a LOT more for a decent weapon. $50 for a pistol? I wish!
