So if you're a crook in NYC and like stealing guns, then you know you can always rely onsome tax dollars to payyou for them no questions asked.

It would look bad if the government barged into houses and took guns. Perhaps they thought privatizationwould be better recieved by the public.

+1 . I have a couple of old .22 rilfes in my closet which aren't worth it would cost to melt them down. I'd love to get $200 for them. Now that I think about it I have an old Davis .22magnum derrenger that I could get rid of for that price too. $600 would be a nice downpayment on another AR.

There was some really decent stuff on that table (A pic of the "haul" was part of the NY Daily News article) - I only saw a couple of items that would be looked upon as "junk guns."

"What a waste" was my primary thought on that one...

They just tried a new twist on this yesterday here in New Orleans - Music for Guns. The idea was for people to turn in their guns in exchange for a musical instrument or music lessons. They got lots of donated instruments and raised $30,000. But only 12 people turned in guns, and the ones pictured in the referenced article below looked useless and rusty to me.

Question: Do they even bother checking to see if any are stolen, or do they just destroy them? I see a couple of hunting rifles mixed into the lot, and I find it hard to believe that the brothers in Harlem have Central Park 10 pointers mounted in their living rooms.

"This saves lives - young lives especially," the Rev. Calvin Butts of the Abyssinian Baptist Church said at a press conference during which he praised Morgenthau's office and the NYPD for sticking to their promise of "no questions asked."

What do you think "no questions asked" means?

It's basically a state-funded way to destroy evidence.

This doesn't bother me at all. Anyone willing to give up arms, probably wouldn't use them anyway. What would worry me is if people that frequent this board participated in this incentive based voluntary gun grab.

I've always thought the same thing about these "no questions asked" cash for guns programs. If I were a criminal and this is really "no questions asked" it would be a great way to dispose of any guns I might have shot someone with.
