Your experience with gun buy-back programs

[Alan]

I watched someone turn in a rusty break-action shotgun worth maybe $50 and get a $200 gift card. Smart move on their part, questionable use of taxpayer money overall. These programs don't reduce crime but they do let people unload unwanted guns for more than they're worth. Make of that what you will..

By the same token, someone who knows nothing about guns could walk in with a $2,000.00 + Browning Citori, that he inherited and get that same $200.00 and it's gone forever.

And they get your personal info as well

No doubt "they" already know just about as much as they would like. But I will be danned if I will make it easy. And, as a taxpayer, I don't want $1 spent against our 2A rights.
