Framingham Gun Buyback 10/29

[MisterHappy]

Just putting it out there:

No idea what the value of the cards is.....

 

[el duderino]

Any FFL want to set up a table out front and offer $25 over what the gift cards are worth?

 

[ghettomedic]

The values aren't bad. I especially like the $50 for "Ammunition". Turn in a couple .22s and use the $50 to buy some 45.

so I 5 dollar box of 22 will yield a 50 dollar gift card?? Score!!

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Empty the dud cans and cash in!

 

[crazymjb]

$50 for ammo... I've got a few thousand rounds I wouldn't mind multiplying by a factor of 5...

$300 gift card Assault Weapon

I wonder if they use Maura's definition of "Assault Weapon".

 

[Mountain]

$150 for handgun could be a good deal if you can find one of the old ~$50 POS revolvers to turn in.

 

[Archilochus]

So they're paying 1/2 the amount for the type of guns most often used in crimes? And the so-called goal is to reduce crime? Makes sense to me.

 

[drumenigma]

damn, i might have to hit that up. I have a well used S+W 22A and a box of chinese 7.62x39 I could offload.

I'll give you $75 for the 22a, and you'll have the benefit of a clean conscience from not sending a gun to die. Lol

Can we buy as well?

Seems like a good opportunity for us to help fund the town have more money to buy more guns

 

[bostonirish14]

What do we think the minimum amount for ammo is? I wonder if a handful of loose rounds counts or if it's a whole box needed. Would be nice to turn some duds and damaged rounds into boxes of fresh ones!

 

[Maui5150]

I have some of that evil Red Army 7.62x39... Obviously this has to be worth doube

 

[ISOTOX]

F Them!

 

[42!]

Every small shop out there probably has a few old POS single shot shotguns that are worthless and/or dangerous to fire, I know I had a couple back in my FFL days, now they are worth $150.

 

[EddieCoyle]

Anybody that turns in anything at one of these is an enemy of freedom.

 

[MetroWest]

It could be an interesting way to call the AG's bluff - see if they would fork over $300 for a stripped lower aka post 7/20 "assault weapon"

 

[MikeTorello]

What about making some of this? it would be nice to get 150 for 20 in parts
To avoid making it look tacticool, use a different color flipflop instead of evil black.

What about someone who uses it to get rid of their scrunched cases, obliquely inserted primers, and other reloading mishaps? The conventional wisdom of "pull apart the bad rounds" is impractical if you have been filling a dud box for some time.

If you really think about it, it's really taxpayer money that is being used.

 

[Olympus Racing]

BB guns? What? Lol

Brilliant, just brilliant.

I agree.

Turn in a $9.99 box of 9mm...buy 5 boxes of the same 9 with their $50.

The only downside is see is if they then use all that for all pic and it's on the news.

I might wake up a little earlier tomorrow and go turn in one of those evil 9mm boxes....or maybe I will turn in a $5 box of 7.62x39.

Do you think the other side actually believes these buybacks do anything to reduce crime?
The answer is, "No."

Then why do they do it?
To convince the sheep that there is a gun problem.

What do they hope will happen?
They hope they can convince a bunch of short-sighted greedy retard *******s to turn in enough junk guns and useless ammo to fill a table and provide a photo op.

Many of you seem eager to be uselful idiots.

 

[Jason Flare]

Go in with a gun case. Ask how much for an AR15. Say, "No thanks" and walk out.

 

[Fixxah]

Good one.

I didn't get this a while back, but it's very true. It only makes it seem like there is a gun problem and we don't have a big enough camera or microphone to counteract them. The general non gun-owning population sees a table guns (whether functional or pipe made) and thinks "great job, officers!"

In short - don't feed the bears.

 

[MGnoob]

For $500, ive got half a 5 gallon bucket of ammo, a sig misqeto, and an ar15 for them.
It almost seems foolish not to "turn them in"
