Dump POS for $200. Buy something good from another potential seller rather than let it be scrapped. Win? No?
I'm actually looking forward to it, it'll be like playing Where's Waldo. I'm gonna guess that it's not going to be focused on as much as the Sten gun tho.At least you’ll get to see your gun sitting proudly on the anti’s bragging table when they run the story in the local news.
correct, NO !
I may or may not buy video games with it, I've got a backlog of games I bought and haven't played that is probably over 20 games right now. More likely I'll be buying food with it.Rationalize it however you want, but you supported a gun control project in exchange for video game money.
You funded the gun buy back. With your tax dollars.The gun I turned in is not worthy of being held in high esteem. Like, worse than Hi Point and it cost more. Why should I take a loss selling it for $50 to someone when I could get more money for it at the buyback? That's capitalism and I robbed the mofos who funded the buyback blind. If someone is stupid enough to donate money for a buyback thinking it's really going to make a difference, well, there's a sucker born every minute.
I agree. I made a mistake buying something cheap and have spent years regretting it. Now that I was able to right that wrong and get the same amount back I paid for it, I feel better and in the end some fool flushed his money down the toilet to make himself feel better. Thing is this buyback generated a lot of controversy because they were offering to pay people more ($500) for stolen guns and said they were not going to test any of them to see if they had been used in crimes. To me, paying more for stolen guns is rewarding criminal behavior and since they announced this ahead of time, it's possible people deserperate for money will try to steal guns in the future knowing they can get $500 for them.Meh, what's better- scrapping a POS for disposal or making anti's pay $200 for said POS and getting something functional with the money? Seems like a net positive to me.
That Sten really bums me out, however.
It was funded by a rich Anti.You funded the gun buy back. With your tax dollars.

That rich anti is making his money through government kick backs. Contracts and so on. That is your tax money at work. The same tax money that is then used to fund this crap.It was funded by a rich Anti.
Most old guys have a kneejerk reaction to everything that has an anti gun scent to it. We're talking about junk, not a fugging 1911 with a few bad springs in it.OP, obviously you can do anything you want with YOUR property, just don't expect a lot of "attaboy's" about it...
Paint that thing Black, would ya? It's hurting my eyes...would NES get pissed if someone made a bunch of these and took them to a gun buy back?

Dude. People get pissed because this is used as marketing. Your gun will be in a picture somewhere. Someone will brag about all the evil guns they got off the street and use this for political gain.Most old guys have a kneejerk reaction to everything that has an anti gun scent to it. We're talking about junk, not a fugging 1911 with a few bad springs in it.
Everybody can do what they want with their property and I am pro-gun, but I'll bet quite a few people were just like me who are pro-gun and wanted to dump junk and get money for it.
I sincerely hope this was successful and they have more "buybacks" in the future because I'm gonna game the system and make money off of it and laugh my way to Wally World.
Well we could settle this with a "Poll" post in pretty short order...Most old guys have a kneejerk reaction to everything that has an anti gun scent to it. We're talking about junk, not a fugging 1911 with a few bad springs in it.

Paint costs money. Do they pay more if it is black?Paint that thing Black, would ya? It's hurting my eyes...
Just because you "Own" guns... doesn't make you "Pro" gun. Just sayinI sincerely hope this was successful and they have more "buybacks" in the future because I'm gonna game the system and make money off of it and laugh my way to Wally World.
With Trijicons they would...Paint costs money. Do they pay more if it is black?
We're already trillions in debt, it doesn't matter. You can't outlaw people offering to buy guns to destroy them and none of the people who basically sold their guns were forced to do it and like one of the posters above said, consider it a return of tax money to the people.That rich anti is making his money through government kick backs. Contracts and so on. That is your tax money at work. The same tax money that is then used to fund this crap.
The cops are also paid with your tax dollars. Those cops could be better used somewhere else.
The disposal will have to be done by someone, paid with your tax dollars.
Like I said ... your tax dollars fund this.
