Trade A Gun For A Gift

[KillShot]

More communist bullshit from California. With the size of the gift cards, maybe we should all load up our guns and trade'm in!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Gun owners can trade in their unwanted but working weapons on Monday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 4981 Market Street in Downtown San Diego.

All guns must be unloaded. Uniformed police officers will collect the guns from vehicles—no questions asked.

Handguns will be traded for a $100 gift card—assault rifles will be exchanged for a $200 card.</div></div>

Are these so called "Gun Buy-back" programs even legal?

"Nappen says that this gun buyback program raises several other issues, any one of which would make the program unlawful. The law covers not only possession but transport of weapons. It does not allow anyone to surrender a weapon without giving his name and address. It does not allow anyone other than the local police chief or the New Jersey Superintendent of State Police to accept the surrender of a weapon. The State may agree not to prosecute someone for unlawful possession if he gives the weapon up. But that person is still liable, depending on how he got that weapon, and what he did with it before he gave it up.

The problem: if someone gives up a gun “with no questions asked,” and someone else destroys the gun, how is a district attorney to know that the person giving up the gun broke no laws other than the law against unlawful possession? What about the law against unlicensed transport? Suppose he stole the gun from someone else? Now that other person won’t get his gun back."

People aren't stupid. When they've done this stuff in Milwaukee, the guns they collected were mostly total JUNK- stuff rusted so bad it was destroyed or broken Sub $100 Saturday night specials.

But if the government wants to give away tax dollars buying garbage that's cool for them, because they don't have to earn the money to spend it.

I saw images- most guns weren't worth $50- If they are worth more than the gift card, people will sell them somewhere else.

It can't be a buy back without the police having owned the guns in the first place.

The government owns everything, you just get to rent it...
