If they’re crime guns then that’s destroying evidence.

If they’re stolen, they never go back to their owners.

But the way I see it, some of the guns collected are in working order and some of the participants are part-time criminals who would then be without a gun. I don't understand why you are all so against the program. At worst it's largely ineffectual; at best it gets some guns away from the bad guys. How does it harm you, you being law abiding gun owners?

I guess in their eyes all of our rights are on loan. “Buying them back would imply you bought them in the first place.”

Of course I gave only $70 for it and I saw a real cool Makarov I'd like to put $100 down on. Sure they can take my .25 off the street! Hey, I have a junk .25 I’d let them buy back for $100.

I have a Jap carbine sporter that I bought for 95 bucks that bulges cases. It can't be restored. If they will give me 200 bucks for it without the bolt, sling swivel and trigger I'm ready to dump it!
