GUN BUYBACK!!!

[Kirk Freeman]

Or... like the shooting club did in Illinois recently.

It wasn't a club, it was John Boch at "Guns Save Lives":

They are the essence of grass roots activists.

I need a 10/22, I will "pay you for your time" if someone wants to go for me...

This might be interesting, I have an old Jennings .22 with a broken safety...

eldirector, some mental midget had negged your comment. I was able to get it back up to zero.

See, you're looking at it all wrong. Think 'marketing', man! It's not a "broken safety", it's a "fully-functional, extreme-danger selector". "You thought a .22 was a pistol for pansies? This .22 packs a punch! Now 75% more dangerous than any other .22 on the market!"

If you do go to buy from the folks in line, ask questions before you buy. Ghost of Winter and I did this a year ago or so up in Da Region and among the junkers that came in were a Marlin 60 missing pieces, a 12ga with a market price almost 50% below the value of the buy back, and a mystery .22 that a mom "found in the bushes one morning".

At $50 a head I may well have a few hundred bucks worth of junkers that I've acquired over the years in various ways.

Hope I see some of you guys there.

Thanks! I'm now up to +2, and I didn't even say anything funny.

So, how many pluses until I get my first badge? This is like rep, right?

Of Course, Mom never thought that her kid may have been hiding it there, she just thought that he went there to pee before getting on the bus every morning.

That is why I am not in sales...

 

[TTB Yeee]

Exactly what I was thinking...haha

I may see how this thread develops, because it sounds like a win/win.

I just read that on WTHR also. The thing that does not make sense to me, aside from ministers organizing it and holding it at a school, is that they don't check the weapons. The article says, "Could be a gun in an active crime or something like that. We are not asking where the gun came from...." So, a violent crime has been committed with a weapon, a criminal sells it to the organizers for $50, and the evidence disappears? Sounds like a good deal for the violent criminals!

 

[Kedric]

Anyone going to be trolling the lines looking for deals I would be damn sure to stay OUTSIDE the school property boundaries.


Also, El is now up to +6 (I did my part! lol)

 

[Liberty Sanders]

I just got off the phone with IMPD. I asked how you can have a gun-buyback at a school when participation in same means you're automatically committing a felony.

They said they don't know.

Why am I not surprised?

 

[handgun]

I would go and offer 55 dollars per gun.

 

[hoosierdoc]

It's my understanding the school caveat is if you are picking up or dropping off your child. Otherwise it's illegal, correct?

 

[jason867]

where is this school at? I'd buy some guns for $50!

 

[pudly]

I'd love to be holding up a sign *on school property* informing the public they will be committing a felony if they bring a gun onto the property.

The cops discourage purchasing from those in line, hence the reason why they are at a school.

And BTW, for those that missed it last year: Cop steals guns from buy back.

Ithaca M1911 A1 World War II U.S. Army .45 caliber gun,
a .22-caliber Short Butler,
a Smith and Wesson .38 caliber Airlight Special,
a Mossberg 590 12 gauge shotgun,
and a Connecticut Valley Bobcat .50 caliber gun
