Guns for groceries

[tt11758]

You know Tom, even you can have stroke of genuis now and again. Think about the headline: NRA sponsored gun buy back for groceries. Weapons taken off the street and given to lawful gun owners via raffle to those who participated. We should organize this, preferably in Pelosi's or MaCarthy's district.

How about one on each coast?

I have a bunch of groceries....
and yes I think it is a good idea, but how much is legal, would we need to do it through an FFL?? I think this is something worth trying. and to do it in a very loud and transparent manner, let the world now we're buying the guns, and putting them back in the hands of law abiding CITIZENS, legally.

Looking at that pile I'm wondering how many of those were impulse guns bought by people, first time gun buyers, and bought legally, and now they saw a chance to get out of a "buyer's remorse" situation for $100?

I'm looking at that pile and thinking ... "the cops ran out of money, I think I could scrape together $500 in a couple hours, pick up some gift cards at that store, and get five more guns redistributed... er ... off the streets for them  "

Anyone catch the line that stolen guns will be returned to their owners?  Anyone want to lay odds on much effort being put into that?

I have to say you're not wrong. I inheirted my Greatgrandads beat up Smith .32. It had pitting on the chrome and in the bore and was badly out of time. I had to work they day they had a "buy back" here, but if I didn't I would have taken the $150 Target gift card with a smile, and not just because of the money either. Of course, as has been remarked on before on this very board, I am a very person.

2 things: at least stolen weapons are going home, ehh I'll believe that when I see it, and 2 look at the collections that could be sold at auctions with things like Spingfield 03's Mausers and thats just what I could identify. Not to mention all the 1911's that were on that table.

Ohh another thing... Where the HELL did all the MAC10's and TEC9's come from!!!! Couldn't we be arresting the illegal owners of the illegal weapons that are illegally modified to full auto... NOTE there was a lot of ILLEGAL in that for a reason.

I just dont have a picture of my Garand that would fit.... You know real barrels i.e. over 16" don't fit in small places. However this is my Garands day-to-day personal assistant. The Garand has moved up in the world from crawling through ditches and killing Nazi's to enjoying retirement and letting the "young" carry the load. Sad that one can refer to a piece of plastic wood and steel in a manner as to give personality to them.

They DO have personalities, any one who works with machinery will attest to that !
