CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland police gun buyback event is Saturday.
Anyone turning in a working handgun will receive a $100 gift card for gas, food or Target and two tickets to a Cavaliers and Lake Erie Monsters game. They will also be entered into a raffle to win up to $1,000.
Guns will be collected between 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Public Safety Center at 2001 Payne Avenue.

This could be a good opportunity for some local activism and the chance to obtain some decent guns at good prices.

Don’t they ever learn?
Rival buybacks have met with “mixed” success. The legal homework has to be done first, so that any buffalo from the gendarmes can be countered on the spot.
In the meantime, gather any garbage gun and by all means sell it to these chumps.

The Cleveland PD sells guns? Who knew!
I wish my town would do a “buy-back.” I have a couple of non useful guns I should like to get rid of and get a few dollars, too. The only folks who would buy these pieces are “buy-back’ fools.
Cash for clunkers!
Use the cash from the police to invest in a better gun.
Thanks police :)
We see these stories almost every morning thanks to the tireless efforts of marktwain, yet there seems to be little realization that these “gun bounty” programs amount to little more than incentive for the theft of firearms. These local police departments, perhaps unbeknownst to themselves, are acting like de-facto fences for stolen property.
No different than they act any other time.
How much effort do police departments ever expend trying to match recovered property to police reports?
Police departments exist to keep the law abiding citizens in line and enforce the will of the government. If they catch criminals while doing this so much the better, but that isn't their primary mission. Things like thee so-called gun buy-backs (and how can they buy them BACK if they didn't sell them to you in the first place?) just show that the polcie and the rest of the givernment are hostile to the individual liberties on which this country was founded.
Can someone tell me if criminals ever turn their guns in?? How about a reward program for turning in those that commit welfare and disability fraud?
