Just cuz someone turned in a gun doesn't mean that it was "taken off the street". Criminals don't turn in there guns, it's poor people who bought a gun, but need that $100 to buy food this week that turn in there guns at gun buy backs.

It's ignorant to look at each one of those guns as a "tragedy waiting to happen". If in the right hands they could save a life, or provide hours of enjoyment at the shooting range.

These buybacks are sickening.

If you think about it, the buyback suggests that if you own a gun, YOU are the problem, even if you're responsible, law-abiding and, thus, NOT the problem.

It's political showboating to make it look like something is being done when the reality is that they're concealing the fact that the police can't stop crime and can't catch criminals.

So, they do these insulting "feel good" things to make people believe they're making a difference.

Make-believe is childish.

"BUY BACKS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A LIE!!!!!!"

Or a great opportunity to get more money than a particular gun is worth.

For instance, if you own a Bryco Arms pistol of any model, a gun buyback will be very profitable for you.

And, you can look at the bright side of the buyback; it subsidized your purchase of a better gun!

I dont recall seing any gangbangers turn in their guns. I guess thats just and inconvienient truth. I bet you the guns turned in were never on the streets to begin with. I have atended two buybacks and not one gangbager came it was all elderly people and a few women. BUY BACKS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A LIE!!!!!!

If we were ever allowed to freely own guns again in the UK I would NEVER give ANY of them away,the ones I do have are staying with me.You would have to be a right fool to give away your only legal means of protection in the US.Most of these must be from old grannies who's husbands died and left the guns in the house.Now she is completely open to attack in her home,now its gone,she cant use it even if she needed to,thats really clever NOT.

A pretty good amount of guns of the street.....Most likely from the people that you want to have guns.
