75 guns collected in an hour? I knew the people in Columbia were kind of crazy, but this is insane! And saying they were relieved to get rid of the weapons???

Let me go and check the closet, I'm starting to look suspiciously at the rose I got this morning. LOL

Pikers....neighboring Cathedral City did a $100 Target gift card thingie like that a couple of months ago; no questions asked in this rather heavily hispanic demographic.

The TV coverage showed a bunch of older white guys smirking as they turned in cobwebbed and rusty old pieces.

Hell, I would have given them TWO roses for each gun and doubled the ante.

be interesting to find out how many of those turned in guns were stolen from their original owners...and how many of those guns were actually able to be fired.

I’ll give you a rose for a few good guns, heck I’ll trade for ammo.

A while back Oakland offered fifty bucks cash.......a bunch of Nevada dealers loaded up all their garbage and drove it down. The city was overwhelmed and reneged on the deal.

$100 gift card and a rose.. That’s what that old bag of junkers is for, times like this. Alas, bit far to go collect, keep waiting on the next one in my area. Could have gotten myself a nice big screen tv.

Congratulation South Carolina! You are in the lead for this year's award for Stupidest Gun Control Idea. [/sarc]

Anyone who traded in a functioning firearm for a rose is cheap and stupid.

In a few months, as society deteriorates in the urban areas, those that traded in their guns at these ridiculous “buy backs” (as if the cops own all the guns) are going to kick themselves.

As soon as I read the headline, I knew right away what it’d be called. Not only is the program disgusting, but they couldn’t even attempt to give it a non-terrible name.

I just flashed back to the 60s,when protesters were sticking daisies in the gun barrels of the National Guard.

I already got roses today.

I think I’ll go buy some more 9mm and .45 ammo, though.

Any questions remaining about the contempt the left has for the intellect of the American public?

They were all stolen. Probably from police evidence rooms.

Guns for roses? So if I bring the police one dozen roses I can get 12 guns? Cool!
