"Organizers expected to see mostly young black men, but more women, older people and whites turned in guns than they expected."

Most functional guns are worth more than $70. I wonder how many old widows fell for this fraud.

Political theater designed to delegitimize the armed citizen. The only practical effect is to remove valuable property from poor people and to increase the demand for new guns.

Gun buy back is a waste of tax payer money like everything government does these days.

What we really need is a freedom buy-back.

“I had enough to cover this year, but for next year I would like for businesses to start donating now, to start reaching out to me now,” she said.

Entitled bitch.

At least it wasn’t a government sponsored program.

Next year, maybe, ‘cuz it’s too stupid for most individuals to contribute to, unless at the point of a gun.

Irony.

Sound like a good way for thugs to get rid of guns used in crimes. Get wife/sister/girlfriend to turn it in and you're in the clear.

An enterprising collector/FFL holder could also stand nearby and offer people more than the buyback is paying.

I would like to buy guns for $70, what is required for me to hold “Albert Wang’s Really Big Gun Buy Back to get guns off the streets (and into my collection)”?

They should take all voting cards and driver’s licenses after relieving these boobs of their guns. People who voluntarily disarm aren’t worthy of voting, IMHO.

"Watson, an Augusta native who graduated from Westside High School in 1999, now lives in Queens, N.Y. She was dismayed that much of the news reaching her from home was about people in her age group being shot, and she decided to do something about it. She said she hopes the event will continue and have more support next year. “I had to do something,” she said. “I don’t even live here. I live in New York City and I came here to help out my hometown. People in Augusta are not stepping up.”"

So she decided to leave crime-ridden New York ... to reduce gun violence in suburban Georgia ... by starting a gun buyback program?

And she was amazed that it was mostly old white ladies turning in rusty old guns cluttering up the attic, instead of 'young black males' (clearly she means the criminals) turning in their professional robbery/murder tools?

Just ... wow.

Look up “Useful Idiot” in the Dictionary and I'm sure you will see a picture of this person.

I've sold dozens of Cars in my Lifetime. I sure hope that nobody ever got hurt or killed by having a Traffic Accident in one of them. I don't know how I could live with myself.

I'll be lying awake all night thinking about the carnage I may have caused.

” Any guns that are not stolen will be stored there until we can properly dispose of them,” Investigator Darrell Turner said. “Any guns that are stolen, we will try to reunite those weapons with their owners.”

So if any of the guns were stolen wouldn’t that women be dealing in stolen property and if there were stolen guns why would they accept them and pay money to buy them. This sounds like a stupid program I mean what’s the point besides money redistribution.

So, in other words, she’s acting as an FFL without a license. When is BATFE going to charge her with the multiple felony counts she’s admitted to?

That woman should be in jail! She is a "straw purchaser" of firearms. She bought them and gave them to someone else.

Were 4473s filled out?

Do any of these buyback guns have ballistics tests run on them to see if they match rounds recovered from other crimes?

Other than being a feel good opportunity for the brain dead, this is also illegal under current law — but we pick and choose the laws we obey today, right Augusta city fathers and city attorney?

Organizers encouraging criminals to trade in thier old for cash to by new. Politically correct gun control at it’s best. The funny thing is they all think they found a solution, of coarse this coupled with the removal of all guns is thier hidden objective
