Suckers. Don't give away your guns-- buy more. you're going to need them after our next President changes the official language of the US to a series of clicks.

If someone will pay more for something than it is worth to you, you sell it to them. I believe studies have shown these gun buy backs dont necessarily lead to the public having fewer guns. So dont call rational people “suckers.’

This may sound silly but I can see a “Cars for Groceries” program in America’s future.

"So dont call rational people suckers." I'm saying the wrong people are giving up their guns-- the people who should have their guns taken away, the people who are the problem, aren't the ones in this line. These poor people giving away their guns will wish they had them back when one of the thugs comes beating on their door.

These programs are really disturbing and also disgusting to me. They make an assumption that arms are inherently evil which is contrary to the express intent of the Constitution.
Those supporting it deserve to have their other rights taken from them tho I would never do it to them.

And where did the police department get the $30,000 to bribe the harmless people with food coupons?

What do you bet that if some of these guns turn out to be worth big bucks as collectibles, that somehow they don’t wind up in the crusher?

You don’t know who is in line. A criminal with a rusty old gun may well be in line to sell it and buy an upgrade.

I’d trade a gun for groceries so my kids could eat.
Seriously, folks — there are a lot of good people out of work, even in Texas.

So dont call rational people suckers. I didn't see anything exciting there -- but wouldn't even junky guns likely fetch more than "$10 to $200" on Gunbroker.com?

Well, my point being that as the futuredrags on, we've gone from one of the greatest men ever to walk the earth--
To Obama be hangin' wit Ludacris, yo:
so it's likely in the near future, after a few more wise latinas and such, people will be sharpening rocks with flint to make arrowheads and they'll be wishing they kept some of those "useless" guns.

Sounds like a good way to add to my collection.
If anyone brings me a gun in working order I will give you $10 to $200 (+10% since I am in competition).
It will be in the form of cash, grocery vouchers or random things from my garage.
Thank you for taking guns out of the hands of idiots and placing them in the hands of someone who knows how to appreciate them.
