On Saturday, 18 November, the city of Houston will host a gun buyback event. The event will be held at Westchase Park and Ride, 11050 Harwin Drive, Houston, from 8 a.m. to Noon. No questions will be asked of people turning in guns for gift cards. The event is funded with American Rescue Plan money, part of the 1.6 trillion dollar Biden Administration spending, which is driving inflation.
In a previous Houston event, on July 30, 2022, an activist turned in a box full of 3D-printed crude, single-shot pistols and walked away with a significant chunk of change. The upcoming event on November 18 will not pay for “ghost guns.”
The Biden administration claims “ghost guns” are excessively dangerous. In a brief to the Supreme Court, the Biden administration makes this claim:
Ghost guns can be made from kits and parts that are available online to anyone with a credit card and that allow anyone with basic tools and rudimentary skills (or access to Internet video tutorials) to assemble a fully functional firearm in as little as twenty minutes. Some manufacturers of those kits and parts assert that they are not “firearms” regulated by federal law, and thus can be sold without serial numbers, transfer records, or background checks. Those features of ghost guns make them uniquely attractive to criminals and others who are legally prohibited from buying firearms.

The lack of a serial number does not change how dangerous a gun is or is not. Requiring a serial number is a relatively recent federal law, passed in 1968. After the 1968 Gun Control Act was passed, crime rose significantly.
Similar to the needle "exchanges" ... as if junkies are actually bringing their used needles and exchanging them.

Private sales the check valve against registration and confiscation.
Sell your firearms on the open market.
Years ago when this democrat program called 'help a criminal upgrade his gun collection' started - a friend who was a cop told me they'd stand around at the 'buy back' waving and nodding to all the known criminals in line turning in the cheap guns they had stolen for cash to buy better guns.
Democrat 'help criminal thieves programs' are right up there with 'assist addicts with free crack pipes' so when an addict steals for his drug use he saves 10 bucks by NOT having to buy his own crack pipes.
What's next? Free douches for whores?
I like it when the private buyers set up a table nearby.
Sell your dangerous / unsafe / cheap firearms to the city for way more than they are worth.
