Okay, something I've always wondered about the "(blank) for guns" programs.

Suppose my local friendly whoever has a "cash for guns" program and offers, say, $50 for gun turn-ins, "no questions asked."

Suppose I stand outside, and preview the guns coming in, and for the ones I like, I offer $75, providing I ask straight up, "Is this gun stolen or has it been used in a crime?" and get a "No." answer.

What could the police do about it?

And they'll do this knowing it won't make a damn bit of difference in "combating gun violence."

Kinda like wetting yourself wearing dark trousers. It gives a nice warm feeling, but nobody seems to notice.

"Handguns of .38 caliber or less could be exchanged for a $50 gas coupon, while a handgun of .38 caliber or more could be exchanged for coupons worth $100."

Ummmmm -- so how much, exactly, are they paying for a .38 caliber revolver?

I'm fairly certain that a real, Vietnam bringback AK-47 is worth one helluva lot more than $200!

This is so stupid that only an Obamanista could have thought it up.

I was in shock thinking they would not even check these guns for crime so I went to the original article he linked to...

“Moore said the firearms would be checked to see if they were stolen and added that some automatic weapons would be tested to determine if they matched any guns used in the commission of crimes.

Firearms collected Saturday will be destroyed unless they fall into two categories — either stolen or tagged as evidence because they were used in crimes. Authorities will attempt to return the stolen guns to the owners, Moore said.”

Now personally I would never get rid of my guns and even if I decided I wanted different one’s I know the value and it’s a lot more then they are offering.

"...gun buyback program sponsored by Circle K..."

So Circle K owned these guns to begin with?
