Let's see.....$200, huh. My Mosins cost 78 and my Raven Arms .25 cost $40. Well, before the great canoe accident of 2010. I wonder what they'd do if I pulled up with a semi load of Mosins and Raven Arms.

I have some guns that I would trade for "SEX".

I don't need another gun that bad but thanks for the offer.

There's a joke in there about the government, but since we don't discuss politics, I guess I'll let it go.

So let me get this straight...... the police buy the guns, no questions asked and then what? Do they check to see if they are stolen? used in a crime? If not, then aren't the police aiding and abetting criminals???

First off I don't agree with "buy back" programs but yes they are run through NCIC, the ATF, and the NIBIN system to check for possible use in crimes. They are then destroyed or forfieted to the agency for department use such as being issued to Reserve units or training for example. They could also be traded in by the department to gun manufacturers such as Sig Sauer or Glock for a discount on new issued weapons.

They were showing it on the news last night,,, they showed a few AR15's, a couple mini 14's and trash cans full of shot guns, rifles and hand guns,, there was a huge line of cars waiting to unload and get their 100 or 200 hundred dollar card...

This is an unusual coincidence,my Grandfather traded groceries for an Oxford Arms 20 gauge SxS,during the Great Depression and I still have it,the forearm wood is split and the end of the barrels are tissue thin,sign of the times?

They have 211 weapons that probably would never ever have been used in a crime because they were turned in by law abiding (if not a tad naive) citizens. I'd be willing to bet a jelly donut that not one criminal turned in a single weapon.

Some criminals are stupid

Ya know, i just had another thought (ouch),, but wouldn't the transfer of ownership of these guns from the people to the police need to go through a licensed FFL dealer ????

Don't need to have an FFL to buy or sell guns.

I have an old sat nite special .22 that I nwould trade in for $200 bucks..........It's a revolver that kinda stops where it feels like, doesbn't have anything to do with "indexing".........Where do I take it?????
