I do like the idea the the Sheriffs office said that if any of the guns bought were to be stolen and the owners found, the gun would be returned. Probably wont happen but would be nice if it did.
And at least they didn't harass the buyers. They knew the law. Probably more upset they can't add a few nice guns to their collection.
That's an inventive way for some dealers to restock their inventory since there is nothing else out there for them to sell.
That's brings up an idea, have FFL's buy the guns they want at the buy back program, more guns off the street, better prices for the sellers hopefully and a background check when they're sold. The junk guns the police can have. Seems everybody wins.
What a brilliant idea! Think I am going keep an eye out for any more gun buybacks down here in Southern Indiana. Just wish I had thought of / knew of that back in December when New Albany had its gun buyback.
