A church had one in Denver recently, but I didn't get a chance to check it out.
Titan, you're getting Stormfront in my THR.
just wondering if the police check the guns turned in against the list of guns that have been stolen??....
Is there a law saying private citizens cannot have a gun buy back program?
kind of like a reverse ponzi scheme that's more awesome?There's an idea: Get a bunch of 2nd amendment supporters together and take donations for a "buyback". Then, when you have a decent chunk of money, advertise a buyback just as the police do. Have an FFL holder perform transactions. Then, re-sell the good weapons at market rate for your capital to do the next buyback, and re-sell the crap to the police at their buybacks. Keep doing this until you can pay back the original investors and TA-DA! You now have a self sustaining "buyback" program!
Reply/ The guns are checked for stolen only, they are taken to a recycling center and melted down.
makes me sick what was turned in for a 100 dollar gift card.
What in he,, were these people thinking!
The other thing to keep in mind is that on FTF sales in Illinois, the seller has to verify you have a FOID card and keep a record that he sold you the gun.To answer my own question: There *is* a statutory 3-day wait even for private handgun sales in Illinois. What a bummer.
