Read another article at the TTAG site, about the "complaints" from the anti's on "How Could This Happen".....
Here's the link.

Yes, we gleefully traded rusted clunkers like these (photo attached) for perfectly good cash in this artificial market your city’s leaders created.
Yes, some of the guns, as you can see, were literally held together with duct tape or electrical tape. While a few would actually fire, many of those would pose as much of a danger to the shooter as anyone down range.
We’re using the money to educate the next generation of gun owners in responsible firearm ownership. We buy ammunition to teach them to shoot (and potentially, so they may save innocent life from predatory criminal attack later in their lives) and then give a few lucky winners firearms with which they can continue to grow as firearm owners.With decisions come consequences.
You and those like you in Chicago have chosen to ignore the role of firearms in deterring violent crime. You reap the consequences of that decision each day.***
Original Chicago Tribune article at link....
The anti's were just "befuddled" and the pics of the smiling kids that learned safely how to shoot makes them squirm.....
