This is my own opinion and I will not condemn anyone who does sell guns this way.

What happens after they post the results of getting all these guns off the streets and crime does not decrease? Seriously, does gun crime really decrease as a result of these programs?

They can say whatever they want about how many guns were turned in, but until they prove that it reduced gun crime it sounds about as smart as cash for clunkers was in fixing our environmental woes, if there are any environmental woes to begin with. Complete waste of my tax dollars.
