    Makes me proud of my city.

  2. Bryan S. Says:

    This should happen all over the country. Then again, in Texas, if my memory serves well, you can privately transfer a handgun without an FFL.

    In PA, we can only do long arms.

    The local public channel on cable carried a report of the successful police buyback, without mentioning the higher bids by non-police buyers.

    I have wondered if something like this could be done and now it has been and I bet it will be again.

  5. Leatherwing Says:

    This has been done many times in Texas. I remember reading about a pro-gun writer for D-magazine doing the same thing in Dallas when DPD had a buyback, and this was several years ago. Makes me miss living in Texas.

  6. The Comedian Says:

    I know this is pedantic, but I really want to win other gunners over to this so that clear thinking prevails.

    There is, in general, no such thing as a gun “buyback”.

    You can’t buy back what you never owned before.

    Calling gun buy-ups “buybacks”, especially government run buy-ups, delicately suggests that all property at some time belonged to the state.

    A gun buy back is when you sell your friend a gun, then you regret it, and you buy it back from her.

    i agree with the comedian. if you didn’t own it before you cant buy it back. that said, how in the world can these people think that not having a gun in your house keeps you from being burglarized??? seems pretty clear that if the bad guy knows you don’t have a gun it’ your house that’s going to be first on the shopping list. guns don’t cause the robbery, the thief causes the robbery.

    I would be a little more than worried about taking possession of a gun from a person willing to turn it in for food.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
