Gun buybacks across the country are grabbing some serious headlines, especially when they mention turn-ins of military rocket launchers.
In December, the Los Angeles Police Chief proudly displayed one, then one showed up at Seattle's gun buyback on Jan. 28 with another one in New Jersey showing up just today.

How about a Potato Gun?
Turn a profit on some PVC.
Here's a nice rocket launcher.
Has anybody turned in one of these yet?
The boneheads in Baltimore just paid $500 for a fiberglass tube.
They also paid a certain FReeper $200 for a broken .380 that I, I mean he paid $110 for brand new and $100 for a $35 garage sale shotgun.
Got 1000 rounds of .223 on order.
Broken weapon arbitrage. Brilliant idea.
