I’m wondering what might happen if I were to advertise a gun buy-back program, and offer a $25 walmart card, the only difference being I get to keep whatever weapons I buy. Private party transactions, shouldn’t be a problem, right?

It’s worth a try, The term “gun buyback” might make them feel better.

The trick would be to get your local media to give you free publicity, and your local police to give you free security and political legitimacy.

If you can arrange those two things, I think it will work very well. Try to arrange it for some very liberal but well to do area...

You may get some really nice old shotguns, rifles and handguns that ignorant liberal widows just cannot stand to have around./s

You may be on to something. Do the process the same as the silly "buy backs" but let them know the guns will be put into the legitimate system with the proceeds to go to a charity such as "special operations warrior foundation".

If the police will not cooperate, sue them under equal protection clause, as they are favoring a particular party.

I do not know if it would be doable, but I think there are laws in place that make it illegal for civil servants to favor one party over another.

If you got a gun that had been stolen, you could have real trouble.
