Read what they didn’t say: they got 3 good weapons, and so presumably they paid decent prices for 424 cheap or trashed out weapons – which are truly the kind of weapon most used by criminals. Trouble is, it’s likely that many of them were sold to the cops at a profit, even if they weren’t stolen in the first place.

$100 per handgun? Shit, I’ve got two S&W knockoff that I’d turn in in a heartbeat for that kinda scratch.

Heck, my 98% condition Taurus .44 Special only got me an offer of $75 from one gun shop, and $125 from another…

man… that hurts. I don’t know what the law is over the river, but in VA, if Fairfax or Falls Church (both quite anti-gun) ever tried a gun buy back, I’d be setting up shop right near by. And perfectly legal, too. (Private party transactions… no FFL needed) Don’t quote me on that; I am not a lawyer.

Ravenwood,

Yeah, I didn’t post the part that lists the prices:

$50 for rifles and shotguns, $100 for handguns and $200 for assault weapons.

So there you go folks. Add a few evil features to your rifle and you can quadruple its value!

I thought federal officials said that .25 caliber Raven handguns were the weapon of choice with criminals.

In which case, $100 is overpaying.

That’s only $100 a gun. I wonder if I’d be allowed to start my own gun buyback program.
