Gun Buyback...

In San Francisco and Oakland on Saturday, citizens brought their guns to sell to the police in return for cash. Every volunteer who returned a gun was $200 richer walking away. The line was so long in San Francisco that there was no cash left after lunchtime and I.O.U.s were substituted instead.

Oakland’s citizens gave even more guns back, including assault weapons and Ak-47s; the line of people returning guns, which was comprised of those standing and those in cars, was almost two miles long. A limit of three per person was imposed.
Oakland’s police chief, Howard Jordan, said, "When we remove guns off our streets that could be used in a crime, we reduce the possibility of our youth and community being a victim.”
There’s only one problem with this scenario: in all likelihood, it’s the law-abiding citizens returning guns. The criminals are not about to surrender theirs. All reports from the scene quote people who were highly unlikely to use their firearms for criminal activity in the first place.

wait a minute.... wrong flag






I think those were all confiscated or stolen... do those buy backs come with foot massages?

I hate the term "buyback" ... you can't buy something "back" that you never owned in the first place. It just reinforces this stupid notion that EVERYTHING (money, property, guns, our lives) is the property of The State and its only by the benevolence of The State that we get to be stewards of these items, of course at the pleasure of The State and revocable at any whim of The State.

Wow a whole $200 bucks!

Are tax payers buying their own guns back?

[Mick-Boy]

I've got a Marlin .22 that won't reliably feed anything I've bought. I'd happily sell that for $200.

I'm calling bs on this one too. There are not many guns out there that cost $200, and that pile is all shotguns, handguns, and a few bolt guns. There's no damn way anybody buys a gun for $400 - $1000 and then hands it over to the police for $200 because he thinks he's setting a good example. They're stolen or the entire story is bs.

Aside from that, this sounds like it came straight out of Enemies Foreign and Domestic.

I think it would be a good idea to setup a booth right next to the one offering $200 and offer people $300 for their AK's.
