Please do not encourage these idiots. If you sell them a gun, they will think they have accomplished something.... I almost went to one of these but work interfered, I and a Gunshow buddy were going to walk the line of folks and see if there was anything we were interested in, if there was we would have offered more than the Gungrabbers. Still want to try it but they hardly ever have them here, that one was about 12? years ago. I don't really know, but think a lot of the folks giving guns up are Widows with some gun their significant other left behind and they have no one to pass it along to and may be scared of/not comfortable with guns... We would probably all cringe beyond belief if We had any idea how many Pre-64 Model 70's, Colt Woodsman's, Take your pick of rare/beautiful classic guns, some probably in pristine condition that are cut up by these idiots. So if anyone does go to one of these let us know what you see... on second thought DON'T! jerry. Now we are talking....  I will go to the bank first and get some $, then while I'm waiting offer any other sellers with pre-64 M70 $200. I would be very careful of purchasing a gun from someone in the line. I believe that it is only a matter of time that a sting involving stolen property could transpire. Just my thoughts. John

Have this very old 38 Iver Johnson 5 shot POS. Several times over the
years I was going to throw it out but never did. Well the local do-gooder
people are having a gun buy back. I'm thinking of selling it to them.
Any comments ? I have two words. [bleep] those gun buy-back [bleep]. Travis What Travis said.

How can the left wing do-gooders "buy back" something they never owned??

I'd take it and not tell anybody here about it - Or that I was even thinking about doing it. I've thought about this a lot. Mostly because I happen to own a piece of junk that is unsafe and not worth fixing. I would have some fun with this, if they were ever to do it in my vicinity (not likely). I would permanently disable the thing (easily done), take lots of video of me doing so, video my intent (to sell the .gov idiots a piece of worthless junk - taking advantage of their usual "no questions asked" - the questions I'm avoiding being "does it work?" or "is it worth anything?"), document the process just enough to prove that I actually did it and they were actually stupid enough to let me....and then go public with it (along with my opinion of the whole matter). If my part in it's all legal - why not?

If my part in it's all legal - why not? I heard Michael Savage say more than once, "Liberalism is a mental disorder". At first I thought he was being funny, later I realized he was at least mostly serious. After joining Facebook, I've come to the realization that a LOT the people I went to school and church with 30 years ago, have gotten so open-minded that apparently their brains have fallen out. Frankly, I was devasted and depressed after this last presidential election that there are that many blind people out there that can't see what's happening to our country. So, my conclusion should you do this, is that the liberals would avoid looking at the video because of their irrational fear of guns, would be incapable of grasping the concept that a gun could be made inoperable, and would somehow feel that they were "safer" because a gun was "taken off the street". Meanwhile, gun owners, like on here, would be upset that you were "dealing with the devil". So I don't think it would do much good. You never know.

Meanwhile, gun owners, like on here, would be upset that you were "dealing with the devil". So I don't think it would do much good. You never know. Your mistake is in assuming that everyone is either anti-gun liberal, or pro-gun. Setting aside the liberal/conservative issue, this simply ain't true. There are a lot of folks who are simply not paying attention, but who can be taught with a little effort. Those are the people who I can reach, and I think pointing out how anti-gun stupidity works (and as you put it, how incapable the anti-gun believers are) is a right and proper thing to do. If I can deplete their funding of the disposal of crime-guns by diluting the take with a simple-but-crime-free piece of junk - I think that is a very good thing to do. You may call that "dealing with the devil" - but if that's what it is, I call it dealing with him as I see fit. eta: ...and I frankly don't give two hoots about what other pro-gun people might think of me doing it. It's not going to change anything about the issue, and I can deal with the heat.

If you sell your gun at a buy back program because you think there are too many guns on the street, you might as well have yourself castrated because you think the neighbor has too many kids.
I heard that somewhere...sounds bout right.

I heard that somewhere...sounds bout right. And I would agree with that. So would everybody else here - including the OP. Just saying it doesn't teach anybody anything, 'cause those who wouldn't already agree and those who would are too dumb to understand. But there are other reasons to make such a sale. Mine, at least, is honorable (regardless of what has been said about it). There are less-than-honorable reasons to do it - such as disposing of a "crime-gun", with no questions asked. Which is why I think we should make a mockery of the whole deal. Someone said "don't encourage the idiots". I say the idiots don't need encouragement. They will do these so-called "buy-backs" without any encouragement. So instead, I propose we actively participate in such a way that exposes their stupidity to those who would learn by it.

Aggreed. No intention of disparraging anyone, Just something I heard and agree with. And you are so right about the idiots.

FreeMe,
Hope it works well for you.
My experience with many of the middle-of-the-road types (A.K.A. "low information voter") is that when you present the obvious, indesputable truth to them, they acknowledge that the information is correct, but continue to either vote against what they just told you they believe, or not vote at all. I find it exasperating.
