They have one of these programs ongoing 24/7 in Westchester county NY but there is no compesnation offered. Apparently, the guns are NOT resold but melted down.

If the goal is to randomly select the one of 10,000 guns that might be used in a murder, they should rethink costs v benefits of other policies.

"What? It ain't like we *earned* the money or anything!"

(In other words, SOP is "Spend all you want, we'll steal more!")

That's an excellent point. Probably for the same reason people say "wetland reclamation" instead of "wetland destruction". It makes it sound more legitimate and morally correct.

....or using the term "Giving Back" any time you're expected to make a sacrifice for the Collective.

If you mean of the 'event', you can google AUSTIN GUN BUY BACK. It will give several links. Some have video. Check the date. There was another one of these back in June. That's old news.

If you mean pic of the shotgun I scored, it's just a plain Mossberg 500A. I did give it a closer look today. I don't think it's ever been fired

That video helped me start my day with rage.

I know that wasn't meant to be funny, but I was laughing at that comment right up until I saw the video of that cop who could benefit from a thorough attitude adjustment.

Question about the Austin buy-back: If it was on church property, what authority does the Austin PD have to prevent you from trying to buy the guns in the church parking lot? Even if the church agreed to pull the trespassing card on people that did that, as long as you complied isn't the most they can lawfully do is to make you leave?

I'm pretty sure the church pastor had already made that stipulation. When he ( the pastor ) pulled into the church driveway, I stuck my head in his window ( not knowing he was the pastor ), and offered to give him more for his guns than the city. That was met with chuckles from both him and the cop that was manning the driveway. I also hit on a couple SUVs that were driven by reps from the crime commission. They didn't want to sell me any guns either
