[I got the rope]

I’ll offer $201.00 for your guns.

[wastedyears]

They always do things backwards in NYC.

Sometimes I’m ashamed to be from Brooklyn. This is one of them.

[Be_Politically_Erect]

I suppose it’s an annonymous buy so people will be encouraged to bring any ol’ gun in.

Good news for the people that want to settle some scores the night before the gun buy.

This lib feel-good stuff is amazingly stupid.

[TornadoAlley3]

spending $300,000 on this and officials hope to run out of money. Will take all guns even if loaded, doing this at 6 churches, 20 bucks for BB guns.

[DuncanWaring]

Each gun is worth a $200 Chase Bank card - limit three per person. ... Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly promises the transactions will remain anonymous.

If the transactions are anonymous, how are they going to enforce the three-per-person limit?

[Domandred]

$200 is high enough to make a decent profit on a bunch of cheap and junk guns. Too bad NY is too far away and my profits would get eaten up by gas money.

[Domandred]

Bah didn’t see the limit :(. Lame.

[max americana]

What happened to the “$100 for your knife” campaign?

[JOE6PAK]

I have two Jennings arms .22 cal that cost about $75.00 each. Turn them in and I can get me another Ruger SP-101!

I can get one for under $400.00.

What a deal!

[arderkrag]

Better deal - bullets are less than $1 a piece. I’ll give them 200 slightly-used, in transit rounds and keep the gun.

[edzo4]

how much for illegal aliens?

[TornadoAlley3]

no no, they take your money and you have to keep them.

[freeplancer]

WOw, maybe I should buy a bunch of old black powder clunkers and head to NY.

[kenth]

Illegal guns? So they’re encouraging theft and burglary? Outstanding. :-P

[Popman]

$200 is high enough to make a decent profit on a bunch of cheap and junk guns.

Reminds me of Orkando, Florida a couple years ago that did a free sneaker promo and got a couple of hundred weapons turned in, which all of a dozen actually were in working order. The rest were junk broke and in pieces

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I’ll take some 3/4 inch water pipe, cut it to 20 inches, take another pipe that will slip over it and a pipe cap, I now have a scrap “slam fire” shotgun! Cost ...maybe $10.00.

$190.00 profit from this deal! Not bad for ten minute’s work!

[riverrunner]

I wish it was near by I have several very cheap handguns true saturday night specials I would gladly get 200 dollars for. Then turn around and buy some better ones.

EIG?
IMP?
RG?
IJ?
HR?
CLERKE FIRST?

[mylife]

Here ya go..

[I got the rope]

I’m not buying that big red x

[mylife]

It was a Raven .25 acp L0L

[refreshed]

Maybe I should run an ad in the paper for Marlin .22s. Most wouldn’t cost over 50 bucks. That’s a handsome profit. Anyone up for a road trip?

[alarm rider]

I always hate seeing these gun buy backs.

I wonder how many classic guns or historic firearms have been lost to the idiocy of this BS.

Sad.

[wastedyears]

Screw that, I’m not giving up my Ka-Bar.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"I wonder how many classic guns or historic firearms have been lost to the idiocy of this BS."

If by classic you mean Webleys, Enfields, Colt Navy revolvers, Lematts etc... I would say none. If, on the other hand, you mean some cheap piece of crap that someone had lying around the house, I would say a lot.

[alarm rider]

I mean classics. I mean veteran bring-backs, etc. that drifted down to some family member who has no idea what they are looking at and would just as soon sell it to the government who will of course, shred it. That's what I mean.
