Recently, there has been a number of gun buyback programs in different states, what are your thoughts on people who turn in their gun for a prize?
Personally, I think they're the gun owners who do give us all a bad name, and are the ones who meet the headlines when a kid shoots himself because his parents/grandparents didn't put the firearm(s) in a safe location.
I've posted a few examples below, I think gun buy backs may be a good idea, it keeps guns out of hands of incompetant morons.
Now, if they only had vehicle buy backs for the same morons. :quirky

"Marlayna McKinley-Harmon, 62, and her husband, Kenneth Harmon, 57, of Akron, brought in two handguns _ a .32-caliber pistol and a .25-caliber pistol _ because they don't want their 5-year-old grandson to 'get a hold of it.'"

"Raymond James says one of his guns, a 22-caliber pistol, was just gathering dust. 'A buddy of mine gave it to me about 20 years ago and I kept it around for such a long time that I just misplaced it and then I found it, so I'm glad this meeting came about otherwise I'd still have it.'"
