"Buyback" is a propaganda term designed to mislead. The firearms never belonged to the government in the first place. These "buybacks" are simply political theater designed to delegitimize armed citizens and the ownership of firearms.

Their practical effects are to waste police resources, defraud ignorant widows of valuable property, destroy significant assets, and increase the demand for new guns by reducing the supply of old guns.

“for grocery gift card’s”

CARDS! Plural, not possessive, you idiots! Ugh!

Only another 20 million or so to go.

We need a new term to counter “Buyback”.

“Pittance paid confiscation”

“More than a hundred people came in and traded their working firearms for grocery gift card’s no questions asked.”

Yes, so it can be reported that WORKING guns are off the streets now, “no questions asked”.

So they must have had a range set up to TEST the firearms before they were bought *BACK*. Right.

POS propagandists: FU

Thanks for the post; ping.

If you have a gun that you wish to get rid of and didn't make it to the gun buyback program you can still call police and they will come to your home and remove the weapon with no questions asked.

Gas, officer-time, gift cards. Who pays for this? What if the officer gets sent to a drug house by rival gangbangers? Lots of unintended consequences possible.

Meanwhile, the gun confiscations in EU is picking up speed in step with the US constitution overthrow:

With just short of 300,000,000 guns out there in the hands of the general public, a groceries for guns program that gets the cops another couple of hundred for their collections AIN'T NO THANG.

It's just propaganda.

Participating in a gun buy back is like having yourself castrated because you believe that the neighbors have too many kids.

Working guns? How would they know that until AFTER they gave them the card and went and tested them? That is so stupid!

[FlingWingFlyer]

If these morons are so worried about having a gun around the house, why does it take a gift card for free groceries to get them to get rid of the guns? Just asking.

120 down. 200,000,000 to go. Only in liberal land could that be considered a “success”.

And in reality, that’s 120 people who can’t defend themselves from the criminals in that city. Who most certainly didn’t turn in their weapons.

I`m still waiting for people to start bringing in $10 zip-guns for a $90 profit.
