What a grat business idea. Buy Davis .25 saturday night specials for $90, and sell them to gun buy back programs for $250. What could go wrong?

Gun buyback - Another calamitous liberal program based on emotion and totally lacking in logic and reasoning. Perhaps as psychiatrist Lyle H. Rossiter has noted in his recent book, liberals are clinically insane.

Sounds like a good deal to me. When they gonna’ buy my old guns that won’t shoot, anymore. Maybe I shouldn’t have said that, oops.

Gun buy backs are stupid, for all the reasons mentioned.
Guns do motivate crime because they work. The gun is the vehicle (or rather one of the vehicles) that allow it to occur.
My brother in law ran a small corner deli in Brooklyn for about ten years. he was robbed 7 times in the first five years of business. When the robbery was attempted with a knife, he pulled out his bat and the robbery was foiled. When the robbery was done with a gun, he handed over the cash.
The sheer number of guns in circulation make any buy back program completely insane.

That’s a shame.
Liberal area, guns are already restricted, and gun crime is rampant.
I wonder what the problem is.

Entitlement mentality motivates crime.

I took advantage of a gun buy back program in Sacramento once. I had a cheap ass .22 short revolver with the plating peeling off and cheap (warped) plastic grips that I’d gotten as part of a trade for some other guns. It might have made a good starter pistol, but that’s it! I traded it (none of my GOOD guns) to the City of Sacramento for slightly more than it was worth.
If enough people sell junk guns to the gun grabbers, you’d think they’d learn their lesson. Unfortunately, the only thing they know is, that whatever they do, it doesn’t reduce crime, so they obviously need to do MORE!

Just think Rob we can have all that sillyness of the Clinton years all over again. Only good thing to come out of Clinton’s administration was a GOP majority in the house and senate.

And the only thing to come from a gop house and senate has been a dem house and dem senate.
And who knows… maybe a dem president.

yeah, the right had it all for 6 years and look where they got us....
The right has failed miserably. The majority of the populace knows it. The majority of the Republican party knows it. They had top to bottom control and squandered it foolishly. The right lost the Senate, they are about to loose the White House and quite possibly the House shortly thereafter.
The right harkens back to the Reagan years, as that was the last time the party was unified..
The sad part is that if the Dems have total control, they will “F” it up also...I am believing more and more in the need for a balance of power…
We need to make our political leaders work together.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
The far right and the far left contain the same number of morons.
