There will be a gun “turn in event” on Saturday, May 13, 2023, in Spartanburg, South Carolina. These events are commonly labeled with the Orwellian term “buyback”. The guns were never owned by people attempting to obtain them, so they cannot be bought back. This is a propaganda event to make it appear as if guns are illicit items.
Guns have enormous utility and are sought-after possessions. The people who turn in guns at these events either do not know the value of their guns, want to make a political statement, or turn in guns that have a value less than the money offered by the gun turn-in organizers. From WYFF:
The city of Spartanburg in South Carolina is offering gift cards in exchange for working guns.
The gun buyback will take place from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday, May 13 at City Hall on West Broad Street.
Participants will receive $100 in gift cards for handguns, and $150 in gift cards for high-powered weapons.
The address for the Spartanburg City Hall parking lot is 145 W Broad Street. When Second Amendment supporters attend these events to purchase undervalued firearms from those who do not know their value, the propaganda effect of the event is diminished or destroyed. Instead of the message “Guns are bad, turn them in to the police,” the message becomes “Guns are valuable, we pay cash.”
This correspondent has been to a number of similar events. One in Phoenix, Arizona, turned into a rolling gun show.

And the police are like:
“Hey, this one is nice. I think I’ll keep it”..
Wink, Wink, do you really think the “honest” LEOs would do a thing like that???? /S/
If I were to go get my guns back from the bottom of the lake, buyback price would be $1,000,000 EACH. Ammo, $50 a round.
Hope that the “private” buyers made out like bandits!!!
The communists here in Colorado inadvertently outlawed gun buybacks in 2013 when they rammed through their universal background check law.
Boulder was filled with the sads when they tried it. It was glorious.
I wonder if the one in Spartanburg will pay for the guys who bring 3D printed lower receivers. THOSE folks were making mint with that stuff.
its tuesday May 17. thanks for news 3 days late. 😡
