God Bless Texas
Austin PD has a gun buyback program offering a $100 gift card for guns. Texans for Accountable Government have a counter buyback, offering $110 cash and they will give the guns to folks who need them, instead of destroying them like the APD would. Cool.

Well my old junker .25 does not even work.
So it’s Austin I go! hahaha.
Stupid is as stupid does.

My understanding is that they were a little selective on what they’d buy. If it was an air gun, a non-gun, or beyond economical repair, they’d be glad to let the PD pick it up.
We’ve had the same concept in Dallas a few years and I understand that not only did it chap some Only Ones, but it also provided some needful persons with an effective defense capability. I’d call that a twofer.

Sounds like the cities are where you do not want to be. Cesspools of liberal thinking.

99% chance the police get a warrant to inspect all the guns TAG buys, and are quick to play the go-directly-to-jail card if they are found to be in possession of anything stolen or used in a crime.

Do I have to be a Texan to get a Free Gun? I’m Needy! I need a Barrett, 4 Springfield Xdm’s, a suppressed .308 Sniper Riffle, a suppressed…

“Help! Help! I’m being suppressed!”

And who put the MOX in ‘Moxie’? The US Gov’t had a buy-back program for weapons-grade plutonium, and it ended up in antique GE reactors atop a fault line in a tsunami zone. I have Edison retirees in the neighborhood who take better care of their PU than that (yeah, we had a fast-breeder).
Oak Ridge can’t account for K’Daf’s old yellowcake. Accountable Gov’t needs a branch office at the Y-12 gate.

I prefer NH. Here, it’s illegal for the government to destroy firearms. Even those used in crimes go to public auction when the case is concluded.
