Indianapolis church doing buyback

East side church trades guns for cash | Fox 59 News – fox59.com

Just saw Russ talking about this on TV. Looks like you can get $300 for a raggedy 10/22.

If you got a fist full of high points, may want to give them a call. You'll be preventing all that gun crime that junk guns sitting in granny's attic cause, so think of the children and rake in $300, no questions asked.

OR! If you really want to get rid of them, give me a holler. I've got $20 to spare. Especially for a 10/22.

Hmmm that one looks like a VZ58. Somebody could have got a lot more.
On the other hand, If someone got $300 for that single shot shotgun they got a heck of a deal.

Why cant INGO do a buyback? We'd make damn sure those poor neglected unwanted guns went to loving homes.

 

[87iroc]

I have one of those shotguns. Might trade it in if it wasn't one of the few things my grandpa gave me before his psychotic wife convinced him his family was out to get her.

Regardless....sounds like they are getting automatic weapons off the street so kudos to them. <---purple implied...not sure how todo it on my phone.

Can INGO do a buyback?

 

[debeerman]

I love the bedazzled table they laid the guns on. Maybe they should have saved the money for someone other than a 3rd grader to decorate and adorn the church.

Perhaps the bigger story here is where is the money coming from? Are these "people" turning in guns being checked for felony convictions? Once again society is asked to turn it's back on the way civilized people act so that they can be enabled to skirt the law. This is nothing to be proud of or thump your chest about.

"Bishop Damon Roach of First Christian Missionary Baptist Church has bought approximately 15 illegal guns in the last month and turned them over to sheriff’s deputies with the help of an ex-gang member and prison parolee who is now a member of his church."

I want them to define the term "illegal" in this sentence. Why would they be purchasing illegal merchandise? The article also says nothing about where the money came from (church donations or tax payers money?). What is going to happen to the guns? I bet we will see them in the next sheriffs auction and the "illegal" guns will once again be back on the streets.

I don't think there's any law against a private person, or INGO/INGO members from staging a buyback. BUT, what if there are seriously hot guns with no serials or an nfa device, and a private entity purchased it?

 

[jd4320t]

Don't worry....the guns will be held as evidence, returned if stolen or cut up.

I would like to know who the Sheriffs Chaplain is and why he supports these buy backs. Furthermore I would like to know if Marion County Sheriff's Department supports them.

I think its odd that a lot of people arent thinking this through. I posted my thoughts on the original poat about this EX CON helping to buy firearms... Hmmmmm I wonder if his parole officer has a problem with one of his EX CON PAROLEES illegally being involved with anything to do with firearms... ;-)
Your post just reminded me of it ;-)

Sounds like a church that needs their tax exempt status revoked.

 

[armedindy]

Did this already happen?

 

[JettaKnight]

bought with church money

I'll be ticked if my church did this!


Wait, if my church did this and then sold the nice one to me and the other gun lovers on Sunday....

Not to bash, just to inform, Sherrifs auction went away, in Indy, Marion Co., years ago .....

 

[Armored Saint]

I saw a vendor at the Great Eastern gun show last week selling "buy back guns" on their table. They were nasty, neglected and cheap handguns that really had no or very little value.

Thanks for the info. I just remembered seeing estate and car autions. Didn't realize they pulled all the other things from auctions.
