We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Who's going to stand out there and offer $51 cash for handguns and $101 cash for rifles?

"no questions asked"
does this mean we can bring in stolen or illegal guns?

That is exactly what it means.
It also means you can bring the police a firearm that was used in a homocide and they will dispose of the evidence for you.
What about fair market value?

If someone is willing to trade in their firearms for a $50 home depot gift card then they are probably willing to take $51 cash.

They sure did advertise this alot on the news. I saw it up here in Sac too.
You do have to consider WHO would be turning in a gun with this program. I don't know that it is a big loss to the second amendment crowd. They are probably people who wouldn't use them under any circumstances anyhow. Maybe they feel too incompetent to keep them safely, or keep them from getting stolen or out of the hands of their kids.
But you're right about it resembling a gun confiscation conditioning exercise. Mighty close to that. Certainly the cops know that this program isn't going to make a dent in the gun inventory out there, because the volumne of weekly sales is eclipsing the number of forfeitures. So either their intentions are extremely noble as well as very inefficient, or it's a harbinger of more nefarious future schemes

Hitler Gun Control
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Is the following quote by Hitler something similar to what we are facing coming to America? I believe it is.
[/FONT]*sine qua non = An essential element or condition
[1] Literally means to confiscate ALL firearms.
[2] Military only - Do you people remember when our armed forces were asked if they would take up arms against the American people if commanded to do so? Far too many of them said they would. "Civilian" police forces would be disbanded.
I sincerely believe this is the direction in which we are unavoidably headed.

At times the "alleged gun buy back" programs have been conducted in areas WHERE IT WOULD BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW AND SOME STATE LAWS TO HAVE AN UN-ENCASED firearm UNLESS one has a state issued Concealed carry permit such as within the 1000 foot footprint of a local school!!
