The water equivalent buy-back program.

LaToya Cantrell‘s gun buyback turned out to be a bust. Previously unmentioned, this painfully liberal effort only had $100,000 total, so only money for 200 people. Small, important details such as this had not been shared.
The Hayride jumped on the fact Cantrell originally said $500 per gun. Then it was modified to $500 max per resident no matter if they turned in one or five guns. As to how it worked, they gave vouchers for guns. The buyback was advertised as cash although one person said he received a $500 card for Dollar General. It’s still unclear if anyone received actual cash.
First, a $500 gift card to Dollar General? Seriously? That’s like giving away a car, only for it to be Yugo.

What’s to stop someone from constructing a zip gun out of hardware store materials? Easy money. Just sayin’.
This is the kind of crap you get when an airhead tries to create something and they barely have enough neurons firing to breathe without help.
... turn in a shaped pop tart.
The Dindonuffins dindonuffin on this.
So what was her game? Get a bunch of guns for free? Figure she could sell enough on the black market to make good the offers?
LOL!
No kidding. If it’s enough to get suspended from school, why, it oughtta be good enough for a gun “buy back”. Pay up MFers.
Cantrell is from Compton and her brother(I think) is a liberal judge in the city.That should explain things.
How quickly can you make a bunch of .22 rimfire zip guns to sell to the city at $500 a pop?
Forest Gump must have been talking about Mayor Cantrell when he said, “Stupid is as stupid does.”
Well, gun buybacks are automatically stupid since it is still possible to buy new firearms. How could anyone possibly think they can reduce the number of guns when gun makers will just make more? Even the govt. is smarter than this. When they did the buy-back of automobiles it was specifically intended to sell more automobiles. Buy-back programs are always going to be welfare for gun owners. They take old, broken guns in to the buy-back and receive cash to go buy newer, better guns.
Still, I'm glad these buy-backs exist as they make for entertaining threads on FR.
I’m waiting for one of these events near me. Mrs. L needs an optic for the AR she got for Christmas.

Yeah, but their intentions were good.
You can get a lot of good stuff at Dollar General!
