“Is the bottom row left right a Browning Hi Power?”

No, it is an FN 1922. A number were imported surplus a few years ago.

“Yeah, except those who trade guns for a living - they’re being edged out of the business by yet more government interference.”

The guns are sold to dealers.

“Of course, the big problem with these programs is that there MUST be a lot of guns that were stolen, or used in crimes, that are sold to the buy-back people, all on the promise of “no questions asked.” Real smart...for a rock.”

Stolen guns are less than 1% of the guns in these turn in events, or perhaps I should say that less than 1% of the guns turned in are found to be stolen.

I wrote about one event in Florida, in a high crime area, where the number was up to 3%, but that was very unusual.
