As usual, there are two diametrically opposed viewpoints expressed here on how best to deal with these ludicrous, useless gun buybacks. It's not just here. It's essentially the same everywhere. The first one says that acknowledging or using them in any way hurts us the most (i.e., keep it quiet and maybe they will go away). The second one says that mocking and exploiting these silly buybacks for our own financial and political gain is the way to go. Again, it's not just here. This 180° split seems to occur everywhere.It's amazing that people here would actively help gun ban activists for the low, low price of $100. Then brag about it with no sense of awareness about what is really going on.
OK, I'll be the dumbass that throws himself to the lions...
At the last Natick buyback I brought in a couple old breaktops that I would never shoot because they were pre-smokeless powder and I was scared shit of them blowing up in my face, a broken old 16 guage, 4 old(very old) BB guns from my youth, none of which worked and a couple of my kids airsoft guns that we paid maybe $10 apiece for.
Also just as an FYI, I posted the breaktops here and no one stepped up to the plate to offer me anything for them. I also went to legitimate gun shops and they all laughed at the though of buying them.
So why should I/we be shamed into keeping trash in my/our safes when we can turn it into cash.
So was it worth it you ask, supporting the libtards and their fear mongering and propaganda? Well I am now the VERY HAPPY owner of a shiny new P320.
OHHH IT WAS SOOO WORTH IT! I took 9 chunks of metal and plastic and turned them in something I can actually shoot.
You wanna help the cause, take your kids or friends out shooting. Teach them to love the sport as much as we do.
Let the bashing begin.

It's fun to joke about it, but anybody that turns in anything for any reason is helping the freedom grabbers.
I have a rusted single shot that needs to be cut up and destroyed, was thinking about making a trip down and getting $50 for just to troll them

I've been waiting for another buy back. I've got a Jennings .22 that I bought for $35. Now it's got a broken safety, broken extractor, and a missing firing pin. I also have a couple my cheap, pot metal, no name revolvers. I'll take a $100 each for that junk!

Are you going to donate the money to Linskey's campaign again?
Actually, was thinking it was going to be a Comm 2A donation.
Should we call the ATF, FBI, or AG's office to file a complaint about the many state and federal laws being broken at these events?
... but its not in the hands of the state.
I wonder how they'd feel if they knew the money came from a "buyback"
Nobody would care. The only thing that matters is the picture on the evening news with a self congratulatory blurb. We don't get the positive press so we can't make use of tactics like that. It doesn't matter if most of the guns are air soft, your typical news watcher can't tell the difference.Have you considered the statement it might make if half the guns collected in in their "buyback" turned out to be from gun owners getting rid of their trash and supporting a pro gun cause?
Have you considered that a reason we loose because we spend more time trolling our own instead of the enemy?
