moral dilema...gun buy back programs

[Mr. 16 gauge]

Complete waste of my tax dollars.

True, but some of those tax dollars are mine as well, so I suppose I can look at it as I'm just getting some of my money back.

If you want to do something, send the junkers to Gun Parts and they will send you a check for the parts.

Last time I did that, the pittance that they sent me didn't even cover the cost of shipping the parts to them!

Never again.............

My biggest gripe is the NAME - why the "H" do they call it a 'gun BUY BACK' ....? As if they had sold us the guns in the first place. BS. I really do NOT like providing these barstages any publicity - but then, draining THEIR resources by having them buy junk is poetic justice.
Sadly, the rabid antis have figured it out in many places - nowadays locally they just give out coupons to local stores - WalMart and Target mostly. "Sell a gun, get a pair of cheap Chinese sneakers!"

Another peave is, they don't do legal transfers. If I give them a gun, they'd darned well better sign a Form 4473 so I can prove I no longer have this gun - just in case it gets used for nefarious purposes later - this is especially important for those who live in Socialist cities and have to have nonsense like 'permits' and 'FOID cards'.
