A smart nonprofit would have an FFL evaluate each firearm turned in to determine if it was too valuable to melt down to make gardening tools, and set those aside to be sold with the nonprofit receiving half to go towards promotional materials and administrative costs.Quote:

I bet if they offered 500 for ARs and 300 for Glocks they'd get a lot of them... especially if they doubled the price for full auto. Glock switches are all over Denver.
Good point, I'm guessing if it were cash (anonymously) instead of food credit, there would be a higher turn in as well.
They should also offer $20 for every high capacity magazine.
I could send you a bunch of $7. pro-mags from some shady gun acc. website.Quote:
