The city of Lansing has set February 9 as the date for it's next gun buyback program. It will take place at the Tabernacle of David Church at 2645 W. Holmes Rd in Lansing, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The "Guns for Groceries" program will exchange Meijer gift cards for operable guns. People who turn in a long gun will receive a $50 card, $100 cards will be given for a handgun and a $150 card will be given for each military-style assault weapons.

Many activist across the country are attending these propaganda events, giving the leftists bad publicity, and getting some nice guns to boot.
I understand that special forms are necessary for the purchase of handguns in Michigan.
Here are a few recent examples, with links:

arugula starts with “ar”.
since it shares a common feature with a weapon of mass destruction, it should be banned.
They are having a buyback here in Tampa tomorrow. I was going to go see if I could buy some. All the locations are down in the hood and I aint going there armed or not.
More people die from food, than guns.
I’m waiting to hear that one of these gun turn-ins gets robbed .... just the irony of it.
I prefer getting the freshest groceries with my gun. ;-)
When they did this in Detroit a while back, police tried to block people from crossing the street where the private buyers were.
If I can afford two guns (the lady will demand one too....), I'll get down there. I know the Lansing area well.
Are people allowed to go there and proposition the people bringing in guns to buy it from them for MORE than the pawltry sum they are giving for the guns?
Just about any serviceable shotgun or rifle is easily worth $75 or $100 at a bargain.
Why would they get rid of their guns for “groceries” when they have food stamps. Oh, yes, I forgot. THOSE are ging sold on ebay and craigslist.
I am sure that I can be talked into bringing down a couple cans of tuna to trade for a gun.
It’s a good deal, and I can help feed the indigent.
“Guns for Crack” might be more successful.
Sounds like another “buy ‘em up and hold a gun show” opportunity for local gun enthusiasts. Offer the folks prepaid Visas and outbid the other guys!
Need to surround the area with mobile advertising double, triple or better counter offers, even reasonable exchanges in gold or silver.
What about people buying multiple weapons at one time - the left opposes this too..... Oh so many positions that they oppose that they're doing at these "buybacks". It really has to be confusing to be a leftie. Up means down on some occasions except when it doesn't suit the situation.......
