re: NOLA Gun Buyback

I tried to sell a gun to a gun buy back in MS. They were giving $200 per gun. I had a POS 22 Rifle that would jamb. The buy back was at a Wal Mart parking lot. I planned to get my $200 and go in Wal Mart and buy a new 22 rifle

I showed up early and every pawn shop owner within 100 miles was standing in line with shopping carts full of POS guns they wanted to turn in. The $10,000 gun buy back money was gone with quickness before I even got close to front of the line to get my cash.

When all the money was gone. The cops laid out all the guns purchased on a table for photo ops for the TV news and newspaper. They gave a big speech about how the streets would be safer after getting all these guns off the street. There probably wasn't a gun on the table that could shoot 2 rounds nor did they mention the majority of the guns came from pawn shops not the streets.
