Take it back to the ballistics lab, match shell casings at the scene of crimes, bang- make an arrest.

Great strategy.

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. Anybody want to buy a POS 22 rifle that jambs?

I just called. They told me you do not have to be a resident of the parish. Also you will only get 500 dollars total. No matter how many guns. Asked if there was any other requirements and she said it had to be in working order and not some gun that was purchased from the store for $57 lmao. I do not know how they would be able to tell that but whatever.

Hundreds who came to a City of New Orleans' gun buy-back event on Saturday (Jan. 19) left with no cash and guns in hand, after the event attracted a larger than expected crowd, city officials said.


quote:

The buy-back was scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the mayor’s office said. At 11:23 a.m., however, messages on the mayor’s Twitter and Facebook page said the gun buy-back was over.


quote:

Money to pay for the buy-backs came from the Edward Wisner Donation, a charitable trust established in 1914 that supports "local needs in the areas of beautification, education, recreation or human services,” according to the city’s website.


quote:

Big Easy Magazine, a self-described progressive online publication, reported that 200 people received payouts. Tidwell said it was not immediately clear how many guns were collected or how many people received vouchers for payment.


Vouchers? F-dat

If you manage to sell it, buy yourself a dictionary.

Hundreds of thousands of guns in the city.

Gun drive touted as cleaning up the streets capped out at 200.
