Because they would never pass the BR check?
:lol: zing!
Also, good idea Citizen.
I've decided to stop calling them "buy-backs." I'm not sure how they got that name anyway. I didn't by my gun from the local PD, and if I sold it to them they wouldn't be buying anything "back."
I also really like the idea of "counter-buys" where groups set up across the streets or whatever and buy guns for better reasons. OCT held one to counter that of a church in Dallas (I believe it was Dallas). The church was going to destroy them all. As it turned out, almost nobody came out to sell. I think that OCT picked up a couple, or at least one, and the church got a few as well. Overall OCT couldn't help but call it a success because, well, not many people were selling their firearms.
Of course, what was really funny was to read about the huge success of the church in the paper, touting that some ridiculously large number of firearms had been collected. Never mind that the number was actually for several years worth of buys, strategically written as to give the impression that the huge number was collected at that single event.
Honestly though, if someone wants to sell their guns, or even have them destroyed... hey, it's theirs to do what they will with. What really grinds my gears is when they get all high and mighty about it, as if they're doing some great moral thing. Especially when it's a church doing the buying (when they're going to do something like destroy the weapons), or a church member doing the selling. I just want to walk up to them and ask, selling a sword to buy a coat, ehhhhh? And raise one eyebrow up real high, see if they catch the reference.
