Cheap guns (!) on Saturday September 20 - Waltham joins gun buyback

If I buy a crate of mosins and cut the barrels off are they assault weapons? Of course I will tack weld the bayonet back on.
Set up in the parking lot with signs saying you'll pay more/ cash for these firearms. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would be willing to get more $$ for their assault (lol) weapons.
I've done this several times and come up with some great deals. An added plus was when Mayor Dominic Sarno of Springfield came up to me thinking I was holding a sign to support the buyback, only to read it and give me the shit-eye as he walked away.

figure this out, if you bring the firearm to them you get a giftcard. Some if not most using this BS buyback are illegally transporting/posssessing a firearm without a license, but if you call an officer to pick it up no gift card, does the officer get the gift card or do they take the money they would have received and the police get that for gas money to pick the firearm(s) up. WTF!

Problem is that there are A SHIT TON of old timers that are looking to rid themselves of some of their old (valuable and collectible) guns and just don't know how. They get duped into this BS. We should set up an NES table across and advertise to appraise and buy guns.
Did you buy on the spot, or did you do a transfer at a nearby FFL?
I would have no issue with this if the City/Town auctioned off the turned in firearms for profit after verifying they weren't reported stolen.
Supposedly Springfield donates anything cool to Springfield Armory.

It's tacky for them to give some old widow a $100 gift card for a gun that might be worth 4 or 5 figures to a collector, but beyond that meh.
Also - is there any way of ensuring that the guns turned in aren't picked over by the cops running the show, or are they taking them home for free?

They did in Binghamton, NY recently.
Wouldn't people be liable if they happened to get stopped by LE on the way to the buyback for being in possession of a firearm while unlicensed?
Also LOL at the pics of the HK94/MP5 and M&P semi auto surely they are only worth $100 or $50.

I've wanted to take part in a counter buy-back since I first heard about the idea. I know MA makes it more difficult, but I bet it's worth it in a town like Waltham.
How about we just get an FFL to come with us and do the transfers in the parking lot via cell/wi-fi connection?
