Wisconsin: Cheap Gun Opportunity 13 August, 2022
AmmoLand ^ | July 29, 2022 | Dean Weingarten

The Dane County Sheriff’s Office will be holding a gun “buyback” on August 13, 2022, in Madison, Wisconsin, at the Alliant Energy Center. “Buyback” is an Orwellian term. The guns which will be turned in to the police and sheriff deputies at the event were never owned by the government, so they cannot be “bought back”.

The Alliant Energy Center is part of the Madison Coliseum complex, at 1919 Alliant Energy Center  Way. There are large parking lots with little roadside parking. The event is to start at 10 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. $50,000 dollars has been allocated for the event. About $12,000 of the money will be used for overtime of the police and deputies.

From countyofdanepress.com:

The resolution provides $50,000 for the program – $12,000 for staff
overtime costs for the Sheriff’s Office and the Madison Police
Department, and the remaining amount will be used towards the purchase
of fuel and grocery gift cards, facility use fees and supplies.

The Dane County Sheriff’s department announced the following amounts will be exchanged in gift cards:

No walk-ups will be accepted. Guns are to be in the cargo compartments of vehicles.  The firearms are to be unloaded. Ammunition that participants desire to turn in is asked to be kept in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.  A maximum of four guns will be accepted per person.

No soliciting (private sales) will be allowed at the Alliant Energy Center. This presents a challenge to private purchasers of firearms.

This correspondent spoke with Elise of the Dane County Sheriff’s office. She agreed the definitions of the above firearms were fluid, and considerable officer discretion in payments for particular firearms

First gun "buyback" in a long time in Madison. Should be lots of good hunting guns turned in by people who inherited them.

Good opportunity to purchase guns.

Good opportunity to purchase guns. >>>>>>>>>>

Set up your trailer just off premises , hand out flyers to the crowd revealing your location and say : “ I PAY MORE!”

There might be a few real gems around like Colt Pythons for 200 bucks.

I don’t understand your last remark. They are not allowing any sales to others there

Sell a “ghost gun” from cheap piping and wood and buy a new gun.

You cannot “buy back” something that was never yours to begin with.

Sounds like one would only need to set up across the street with a big sign reading, “I’ll pay more for your guns,” and spend the day waiting for offers to arrive. I don’t think they could prohibit that.

Looks like there might be some on street parking on Alliant Energy Center way if that is a public street.

A lot depends on how they plan to route the traffic.

Coming in and out and what parking lots they are using.

Don’t hold your breath. They did this 8 years ago and garnered ONE gun...that was broken!

They’re not giving out cash. They’re giving out gift cards for groceries.

The thugs in Madistan won’t give up their guns, and the ‘normals’ outside of Madistan won’t be surrendering theirs, either.

Dane County, with the exception of Madistan, is rural and Ag. Huge waste of Taxpayer Dollars, as usual.

Vicki McKenna, AM1310 WIBA said she’s going to camp out there and watch the festivities - or lack, thereof.

She’s our local radio ConservaBabe. She’s awesome.

Local media won’t cover it, unless they fake a few ‘buy backs’ themselves. ;)

$250 for “assault rifles”

Good luck with that one. "Here's my Dad's rifle - says Knight's Armament or something on it - we're gonna surprise him with that $250 Starbucks card. He's gonna be soo happy!"
