From KOMO 4:
What the heck is this "Kicks for Guns" program? It seems almost traitorous for an American citizen to go along with a program like that......."Here, we'll pay you if you turn in your ability to defend yourself......"
And I would bet that despite the "no questions asked" policy, that man is getting a visit from the KGB....I mean "Homeland Security".......over that rocket launcher......

Police get missile launcher during gun-shoe exchange
Orlando Police Sgt. Barbara Jones holds a missile launcher Friday, Aug. 17, 2007 that had been turned in to a Kicks for Guns program.
By Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Police were hoping for a good turnout at their "Kicks for Guns" sneaker exchange, but they weren't expecting a surface-to-air missile launcher.
An Ocoee man showed up and exchanged the 4-foot-long launcher for size-3 Reebok sneakers for his daughter, the Orlando Sentinel reported Friday.
Taking advantage of the exchange's no-questions-asked policy, the man was not identified. He told the Orlando Sentinel that he found the weapon in a shed he tore down last week.
"I didn't know what to do with it, so I brought it here," he told the newspaper. "I took it to three dumps to try to get rid of it and they told me to get lost."
Besides the missile launcher police collected more than 250 guns. They were all exchanged for sneakers or $50 gift certificates.
