Gun group uses money from Chicago gun buy back to .... buy guns & ammo

That's great, after that story I'm sure they will come up with some way to stop people from turning in junk.

Years ago Louisville, Ky had a gun buy back program, I had an old single barrel 12 gauge, with no firing pin, got $25 for it, took the money and bought some .38 ammo for my Charter Arms Off duty.........

“We host the gun turn-in event on an annual basis to encourage residents to turn in their guns so we can take guns off the street and it’s unfortunate that this group is abusing a program intended to increase the safety of our communities,” said Melissa Stratton, a police spokeswoman.

I must say, it is a delight to see government thugs get beaten at their own game. The whining and tears are delicious

But the gun buyback program was meant for criminals to give up their guns! How come people are only turning in guns worth less than they are worth? Next year there should be a rule that only guns worth more than $300 will be eligible for the $100 buyback.

Then how are we going to get the Hi Points off the street?

Do they think these are the only people doing it?
Buy a gun offthe street, give the guy the card. He uses it on something non-gun.

It was good fun getting these ^^ in exchange for those VVVV.

They do work just fine at gun shops.

And we look forward to doing it again next year.

If it's okay with management here, I'll post some photos from the NRA Youth Shooting Camp and a write up of what we did with the money here at the end of the month.
