In that case, I'll paint some busted Nerf guns too.
I'll tell them it's either an Ack fourty seven or a Glock.

Wow that makes me cringe...especially since i run a pawn shop and i would much rather have people sell the guns to our shop so i can sell them to good honest folk who want them.......not watch thousands of perfectly good guns be destroyed because of crappy politicians......

My biggest problem with anti gun folks is what everyone is saying blame the guns and not the people that are doing the bad things with them.
To me that's like blaming the car when someone gets hurt or killed in an automobile accident or DUI auto accident. Do we blame the booze and car? No!!! Same thing should go with crimes committed where the person uses a firearm.

it does remind me of that too.
now I'm starting to think of a way to screw the system using itself. i could literally make a handful of really crappy zip guns, they don't even have to be safe enough to fire. then i could turn those in for a sporting goods gift certificate and get that Mosin Nagant or that Ruger 10/22 i wanted. thus using their civilian disarmament programs to better arm myself. and it would only take an hour or two to make said zip guns. heck they don't even have to be shootable. trick those dummies and use their greed and immaturity against them. all that will do is give me more guns that they can't have.

Actually, the law blames a person who has a gun for potential bad things he MIGHT do with it in the future. Simply having a gun is not the same thing as using it in a crime. Crimes are ACTIONS not tools.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - to buy something "back", you had to have owned it in the past. No local governments have ever owned any of my firearms, so they may not buy them "back". Call it what it is, a partially compensated voluntary confiscation.

More people die every year in this country from auto accidents than crimes committed with a firearm, WAY MORE. We should enact legislation to make automobiles illegal.
Let's form The Coalition Against Car Violence.

That's true, although I think that the US federal government could host a legitimate "buy back" event in Mexico....
The only thing "wrong" with many of them, I'm guessing, is that they're not interested in guns that they might have inherited or otherwise gained possession of involuntarily to begin with.

There is no such thing. It's a racist term that was made up.
I wonder if a a private group could host a buy back program or does it have to be a police department?
The group could offer $50 giftcards and then sell the guns to people who want them for a marginal profit like $75. It could be called something like "redistribution of gun wealth."

You will see more guns getting turned in on these than in the past as the economy keeps sputtering along.
Inherited guns only mean something to an individual if it has memories attached to it. So if ti came from someone in the family that never spent time shooting with the person that now owns it, it has no sentimental value.
Let that be a lesson to us about making sure we pass on the legacy.
As for offering an appraisal, if you do that, have either cash there or a flier with pawn shop addresses and explain that selling them to a dealer is a very easy process, the government is just ripping you off.
