The City of Dallas will be holding what they call a “gun buyback” in October. “Buyback” is an Orwellian propaganda term that insinuates all guns belong to the government. An organization cannot “buy back” what it never owned. A more accurate term for these events is a gun turn-in, where people are given an incentive to turn guns into the police.
Dallas is organizing a gun turn-in to be held on October 21, 2023, at the parking lot of the Samuel Grand Recreation Center. From Dallas Metronews.com:
Dallas Gun Buyback program set to take place on October 21, 2023
On Saturday, October 21st, the parking lot of the Samuel Grand Recreation Center, near the Cove—the complex’s aquatic hub—will become a center of civic responsibility from nine a.m. to noon.
KERAnews.org notes there is no limit on the number of firearms that may be turned in, but people will receive gift cards only as long as they last. The event will be first come, first served. From keranews.org:
The gun buyback event will be held at 9 a.m. on Oct. 21 at Samuel Brand Park. There is no maximum number of firearms a resident can bring, but the event is first come, first serve.

For those that bought their guns from the Dallas Police - you can sell them back for cheap
How do people know ithe guns won’t later turn up in the hands of criminals through the result of some “Crossfire Hurricane”-type operation?
Time for Home Depot trip for 2X4s and iron pipes..... I make my own!
Exactly.
If I owned any guns, I sure as hell wouldn’t trust any government agency with handling them.
**Almost any working gun is worth more than $100 in today’s market.**
How true! I was in a pawn shop not long ago and saw a used RG-12 pistol for sale. These sold for about $12 back in 1968 and they wanted $125 for it.
Would be funny if a vendor set up and offered people $10 more dollars per gun than the town is offering them (provided the guns are working or fixable)
Anybody buying an RG-12 pistol either knows nothing about firearms or it is for nostalgia.
Nothing to keep someone walking the line with a note/sign offering $200 for working order gun.
Also, apparently, according to ,iberals, guns are super dangerous and have a mind of,their own and will kill people, so the question is, “why would the organizers risk their lives with a whole slew of dangerous guns lying around just waiting to go off on their own?”
The turn-ins must be functional.
Only offer $105.00. The extra $5.00 could buy an empty crack bag to lick.
I’m trying to get in touch with a Friend to go see what He can get.
I have seen some good deals and some nice guns turned in to be destroyed at these events.
I saw Your Article in E-Mail yesterday and thought about Posting it but didn’t want to step on Your toes.🤠
I paid the city $60.00 for my original issue Smith and Wesson .38 way back in 1988 or so. I think I’ll keep it.
Thank you.
It doesn’t bother me when someone else posts one of my articles.
I have an agreement with AmmoLand not to post elsewhere until it has been on AmmoLand for 24 hours.
Accuracy was acceptable, about 2.5 inches at 50 feet. Trigger was terrible. Had to use considerable Kentucky windage and elevation. Did not function reliably in double-action.
Overall, a really bad revolver, but a gun beats no gun most of the time.
On the other hand, I purchased a couple dozen police surplus S&W model 10's at $100 each. They were London Police surplus (switching to Glock pistols in 9mm). Wonderful, accurate, reliable revolvers with excellent triggers and sights which were dead on for 158 grain .38 special loads. Model 10 S&W was the standard for about 50 years.
Purchased when I had an FFL, about 1999, as I recall.
Well, when I first read your response, I thought to myself, "I wonder where he bought an RPG-14 ..."
What you actually wrote does make more sense ...
