Gun buybacks
« on: May 08, 2015, 05:28:55 AM »
Has anyone heard of any upcoming gun buyback programs?  I have a junk pistol that should be destroyed but I might as well let some taxpayers reward me for it. It's a Jennings .22 (just to save anyone the worry that I might have something desirable to part with).

They don't do "buy-backs" around here, just "turn-ins".


I'd give you $20 for it, if it fires and includes the magazine. 
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

How about a book buyback, or turn-in?  Thought criminals can turn in books that contain forbidden information, no questions asked.  These books would include the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bible...

If the liberal cult ever does have a gun buy back here, I have an FEG PA63 9 X 18 that doesn't work very well; I'd trade it in if the price was right.
The liberal cult seeks destruction of the American Republic like water seeks low ground.

I'd give you $20 for it, even if it doesn't work, if the alternative was giving it to the anti-2A crowd.

By turning them in we are only giving them another reason for the to host them.

I might turn one of these in...

It's been dry fired too much.  The firing pin has peened a flat spot on the chamber so a round won't go in.  I bought it as a fixer upper but I've lost interest in it.  Might be alright for someone else.  It's the kind of gun I'd want the bad guy to have.   :D

Like I said, if you're seriously thinking about turning it in, come by my shop and I'll give you $20 just to keep the numbers lower on the anti's press release.

It can't be tactical.  It isn't all black.  ;D

It has long been my position that a gun "buyback" in Nebraska would be illegal ( for handguns anyway) as it would clearly violate the Purchase permit requirements....

Since when did the police or city councils in Omaha or Lincoln care about what's legal and what isn't ?

Fair enough, but, I have always wondered how the state patrol would respond to an anonymous "tip" concerning an illegal arms deal.....could prove very interesting....

Kansas as a law on the books specifically outlawing buybacks.

This would be funny except that she(?) is serious. Unfortunately seriously off balance in the thought process.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, BUT, mustn't forget that those who run Buybacks are VERY adamant about saying the guns are NOT being bought by law enforcement, and that the police are NOT "involved".

Besides, exactly which agency would approve tax dollars being spent on junk that will be disposed of??   The guns are NOT being purchased on behalf of LEO's nor are they being purchase BY LEOs for  duty use, ergo, the buybacks are NOT legal ( as far as handguns ) In Nebraska

Just asking the question.... If the tax payers are buying the guns are they not being put on the city or companies books? Even if the buy back is being ran by some NY founded group either they would have to purchase the weapons for the said company or the idviuals would need to have a purchase permit or a CCP to pass money for the hardware.

Not arguing here just asking..8)

I don't know how these things are normally done, but you'd think a private group could do one on its own with its own money if it wanted to, and the group could have a gun dealer handle each transaction so it was all legal.  The likelihood of a group of liberal bigots doing something like this with its own money seems small though, since they love spending taxpayer money so much.  But with, say for example, the Clinton Foundation having so much money, maybe they could do one. 

If they do something like that though, as I said earlier, I think they should include a book buyback too, and see how many copies of the Constitution and the Bible they can get "off the streets," because in the end, those are what the liberal cult really wants to get rid of; civilian disarmament is just a means toward that end.  They can get rid of history books that have not been made to fit in with liberal dogma too, and old manuals on grammar and style that were written before liberalism was the official state religion; these books oppress women, because they have sexist language in them (i.e., mankind instead of humankind, etc.).  These make every bit as much sense as gun buybacks.

They already have.
