Honestly, any respect I had for his hustle went out the window once he tried to claim it was making a larger point about how gun buybacks don't work. Not because I disagree with that point, but because that larger point doesn't actually connect in any meaningful way.

I'm an old white woman in the suburbs. If I had one of the cheapest AR-15s out there, that's in working order, I can think of two people off the top of my head who would give more than a $50.00 gift card for it. One may be a little cash poor because of his current divorce but he would make a trade for a couple oz of pot. The other guy would probably load his kids up tonight in the work van and show up with cash money. One of his kids is named Remington and another is named Gage. He's all about guns and makes the money to afford what he wants.

A $50.00 gift card ain't shit unless you are just wanting to quickly ditch it or are desperate for a fix.

I could get rid of a gun for a hell of a lot more than the buy back prices if I had one I wanted to get rid of.

Yeah that's hardly a citation

You are only here to argue and tattle on others anyway so what's the point.

Not what I meant. But I get that my comment was well above the compacity of your two functioning brain cells to work out

Just for the record, that $50 gift card is for broken guns. Depending on whether or not semi-automatics count as automatic rifles for the purpose of the buyback (given that the 3D gun hustler was able to make a profit, I think it’s safe to assume that they didn’t put too much thought into it), it’d either net you $100 or $200. Maybe a pittance, but it’s at least a bigger pittance.

Fine... Here' s your Citation.



Personally I would go for the Cessna...

Your outlook on things has been oddy distorted by your constant view of my asscrack...

I don’t think the ‘I could get more money selling it elsewhere’ argument applies to gun buybacks. People seem to take advantage of these programmes to dispose of unwanted or broken guns in a safe manner (as opposed to just tossing them in the tip). 

While it’s perfectly true that gun enthusiasts could resell the guns for more or refurbish them, that isn’t the motivation (if it were, no one would participate in the buybacks). While it’s also true - I assume -that people could simply hand these guns over to the cops for free, the gift cards are an incentive.
