This reminds me of 1968 when Bobby Kennedy was shot. The media went berzerk. People were so afraid of their own guns the police departments allowed them to bring the guns in for destruction.

One family gave up their guns, then wrote letters to many magazines telling what they had done, then mentioned that they WERE LIVING IN FEAR of neighbors who did not turn in their guns.

Many printed and posted signs in their windows that said..”THERE ARE NO GUNS IN THIS HOME”. That didn’t last long.

People do stupid things when goaded into a panic.

There's no shortage of stupid, panic-stricken people in the SF Bay Area.

Law-abiding citizens will relinquish their guns and "feel good about it."

The thugs will continue to own guns and use them to commit crime.

That break top looks like an Iver Johnson .32.

Maybe $200 on a good day from the last ones I've seen for sale.

The medallion on the grip is in the middle.
The IJ 32s I’ve seen have a molded medallion
At the top edge in the middle. Might be S&W.

If I ever hear of a $200/gun buyback in my area I’ll go down to the flea market in the next county, load up on old single shot .22’s and double my money.

I compared it to a junker IJ I’ve got, and it is definitely an IJ.

The IJ is molded in the center of the grip. At the top is an owls head molded into the grip.

I guess he never heard of a Trigger Lock, Gun Safe or Common Sense.

What you keep in a Tool Box are Tools, and your Choom Stash. Why is it that I'm 100% sure he Voted for Obama?

I’m sure that Lugar will end up in an Oakland Cop’s Gun Safe along with that a few other gems I see on the table...

If a kid gets run over, do they hold a Car Buyback?

$200 bucks for it. About $175 more than I would give someone for it.

Somebody made out like a bandit.
