I have a couple of broken junkers out the house. I mean REAL junk. Stuff that wasn't worth $50 when it was new, and you can't get parts for them. If they had a buy back program in my area I would have already sold them and used the cash to buy a functioning firearm. The one time I saw one of these programs going on I was on a buisness trip and didn't have them on me. A big city was offering $125 a gun no question asked, cash money. If I had had them with me I would have taken the cash, and giggled all the way to a sporting goods store.
I don't condone selling functioning decent quality guns to them, but again as other said I don't condemn folks for it either. What hurts is to see nice rifles, and antique arms sold to them that are going to be destroyed...

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
