Gun trade-in

[Clint45]

It's not illegal for a FFL to buy guns without a 3 day wait..

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.

Gun buybacks are the only form of gun control that both gun opponents and gun supporters like. There's just one problem: They don't work. Scholars have tried for years to quantify the benefit of buybacks, and they've consistently found little empirical evidence that they do much of anything to reduce gun violence at all.

You'd have to ask David A. Graham.

Pretty sure they like them because it's a government cash for clunkers program...but for firearm owners. Some may even pickup crap just for these programs. (Exploded jimanez? Plastic lower? $60 worn out break barrel?)

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.

But they're "off da streetz" so everyone feels better about that... except the shady volunteer who pockets a few then finds out why no-one wants to run ProMags, lol.
