bet somone gets a nice gun when some kid sells dad’s for gas money.
go and outbid them with CASH
$50 gas card? I’d think a 6-pack of Mickey’s Big Mouths would be a cheaper, better incentive.
“....offer free $50 gas cards to citizens who turn in guns....”

The cards are not free — they are worth the price of the guns.

More than likely, Memphis residents will be buying back their own stolen guns. City Hall has been doing these gun buys for years with ZERO success.
I’ll buy you $50 worth of gas for a gun but I’ve got to see the gun first.
