Lumber and pipe is expensive to make a shotgun now, too.  Cheap bastids.

Hmmm, that's more than anyone else would give me for A Taurus PT22.

actually I was thinking of just having 120 bucks and wave that around as people come in. See if anyone had anything interesting to buy before they turned it in.
They were also asking for ammo to be turned in, so maybe sit there with a bucket for people to dump it before they go in. help the people unload if they don't know how. lol.

man I hope someone got to go.

I know I will kick myself later when I see pics of what they brought in.
I am expecting an old 1911, an old single action army and probably a garand or some other wwII rifle.

But most likely:
an NEF Pardner .410 with electrical tape holding the stock on
a Rohm .22 that some hoodrats grandmother bought in 1965
any number of bolt action shotguns rusted shut
a plethora of Raven/Davis/Lorcin/Jennings/Bryco/Jimenez pistols.

Had a buyback in Hayward, guy I knew took over and turned in a bunch of old broken, rusted guns, got like $300 cash and went to the Traders a local big gun store and bought a new shotgun. Tony gave him a discount just for scamming them out of money and buying a new gun.

They ran out of $100 gift cards midway through the day & were giving I.O.U.'s for the guns turned in ...

In the words of Whimpy J. Wellington ...

I would gladly pay you Tuesday for your firearm surrendered today!

I didn't see any pistols in that video. Hmmmm.
Did you catch the PD's comments saying they would all be destroyed and not sold at auction. Says a lot about their mindset.

They also said it help keep almost 300 guns from falling into the wrong hands as if all guns will be used in crimes.  People who say crap like that are the type of people that like the smell of their own farts.

It was VOLUNTARY...

No Jack Boots kicking down doors while going house to house to confiscate the guns out of the hands (or closets) of 'Patriots'.

If someone wanted to convert Crazy old Uncle Joe's rusted shut single shot H&R for $$$ - more power to them!

Didn't see a single "Modern Sporting Rifle" in the stack, so no AR or AK were sacrificed in this buy back.  

Nor any MAC-10s or TEC-9s from the gangs...

Just rusty FUDD guns by all appearance.

Aw man! That’s where I grew up. Back in them days we had our dove guns in the truck for after school hunts. Great place to live in the 70’s and 80’s. Went downhill in the late 90’s from what I’ve been told. I guess the city go ‘woke’. So sad.

Looks like mostly Fudd guns cause Elmer hasnt been able to find ammo in over a year.

Some nice stuff, surely could have gotten more at gun show.
