THE Gun Thread

[Rev. Rye]

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.

Remember how nasty capitalism is?

America is chock full of capItalists.

Only the really dumb ones buy high and sell low.


That is why gun buy backs don' t work here.


YMMV

Well either the dumb ones or the ones who don’t particularly care about the money and are more interested in offloading guns they don’t want.
