Here's How That Gun Buyback Event in Nashville Turned Out

"You had grandparents and parents turn guns in because their kids have access and grandchildren have access to them."





What?

@Darth i posted on there the REV is lying to his flock after what happened in TX. .. .. should have sent them to the gun store and got more $$$ ..

 

[Acer-m14]

maybe @Bullet Guy needs a new sign .. gun buy back here 365 days a year .. LOL .. actually i think every gun store should advertise that ..

To the real point:

"What Revs. Lane and Joyner fail to mention, though, is that these guns are typically unwanted but not necessarily illegal."​

 

[Phazer]

"You had grandparents and parents turn guns in because their kids have access and grandchildren have access to them."

What?

Isn't that why the owners should have safes?

Buy all of them back from irresponsible people.

No surprise here, Nashville is a dumbocratic haven. It is typical of most states; the larger cities are dumbocratic. and the more rural areas tend to be conservative.

These are people/widows trading in a old hunting rifle that isn't being used any more for gift cards.
imo.. this comment from the article sums up the "buy back program"...

"these guns are typically unwanted but not necessarily illegal.

More often than not, these buyback programs pressure law abiding citizens to hand in their legally owned weapons – either through the promise of cash, or the guilt of having a firearm, especially in a home where minors are present.

Rarely do you have real criminals willingly handing over their guns for a couple of gift cards."

So whats with the M1 carbine para all by its lonesome on the tailgate? Is that the "keeper" pile?

Thinking that Garand on the top of the stack was worth a lot more than the $50 or $100 they gave...

No gangsta worth his spit would be caught dead with any one of those guns shown!

"either through the promise of cash, or the guilt of having a firearm, especially in a home"

The"guilt" of owning a firearm !!!! WTF !!!!.....OR Grandchildren ?? My son has a 12 gauge Mossberg pump given as a present on his 12th birthday. That AND ammo kept in HIS room. My Grandson is 19, and knows I have guns....not interested..we had him in the home every workday until he went to school as his parents worked. NEVER anything close to an incident. Ask one of those people who turned in a gun this...."How much guilt would you have because you were defenseless when your family got murdered."

 

[FrankenCub]

Wonder how much they paid for that BB gun lmao

 

[Uzi]

Scary assault lever actions and grandpas old 12 gauge that's been collecting dust for 39 years. I'm betting they were all used in so much crime, I'm just glad we're all safe now.
