The City of Miami is hosting a gun buyback program Saturday and donating the weapons to Ukraine’s defense, according to the city.

The Miami website advertises the event as a way to prevent gun violence and support Ukraine. Donors will be offered up to $150 per gun, and the firearms will be either discarded or donated for use in the defense of Ukraine.

“Turning in a gun during the gun buyback the [sic] provides safety and security of knowing that the weapon will be properly disposed of or reallocated for use in support of Ukraine. It is also a great way to show your support in the fight against gun violence,” the event’s website read.

is offering Visa gift cards of $150 for .223 caliber firearms, AR-15s and AK-47s; $100 for shotguns and rifles and $50 for other weapons, according to the website. Homemade and replica firearms will not be bought back, but can still be turned in.

SMDH! Impossible to "buyback" something that was never yours anyway. Need to dispose of a murder weapon? And get paid for it? Did anyone 3D some "ghostguns" to turn in as happened in Houston? Did any enterprising gun buffs set up a cash for guns booth two blocks from the MPD buy back location?

This has got to be satire, right?

Why would anyone turn in a weapon for so little money?

I so agree. “Buy back”… language control, as if everything belongs to the left and on loan to us.

More likely they’ll be given to all these military-aged males coming across our border by the thousands. And then told to wait for the orders to attack.

Dump a murder weapon no questions asked? And get money for half a tank of gas.

I recommend they send them to a gun repairman first to have him check to see if they’re safe to shoot.

I expect all the warmongers here who are too cowardly to go fight for Ukraine to at least sell all their weapons to aid Ukraine.

I hope that when the shoe is on the other foot, the Ukies will send them back to us. We’re gonna need ‘em.

From the article:

“Homemade....firearms will not be bought back, but can still be turned in.”

Because a gun in Houston got them for several thousand dollars recently.

$150 for .223 caliber firearms, AR-15s and AK-47s…

You’d be an idiot. You could sell them on gunbroker.com for real money.

Another idea: send the weapons to the newly hired IRS agents. They can practice shooting people until their aim improves.🤬

Government must be thrilled to have guns out of the hands of pesky ordinary American citizens. Like Venezuela and early Nazi Germany.
