Typical for one of these "buy backs". A tiny percentage of genuinely interesting and collectible guns, 20% - 30% utilitarian but functional firearms, and a bunch of junk.

ED: We have no idea why Evanston would make that a requirement]

As with voting, that requirement is to discourage Black people from participating.

Or some such.

Agree completely.

Most of those guns are junk not even worth $30. It does almost break my heart to see a few really nice guns destroyed for political correctness.

I know a few states have made these so called buybacks, illegal.

I’ve read that some gun enthusiasts park near these events and try to buy anything that’s decent from the people looking to hand in their weapons for whatever sum the cops are looking to pay. Is this just an urban legend?
