Dallas Will Buy Your Guns

Sounds like desparity to me. I wouldn't have expected this from Texas. Has anyone heard of this type of thing happening elsewhere?

Yeah, I think Texans will know better than to fall for this one. I don't know about Dallas, but here in San Antonio, we will hold onto our last bullet like the Alamo.

I do not have a problem with these so called "buy back" programs simply because what they are getting is junk or stolen firearms.

Nobody would take $50 for a firearm they can easily get $100 or more from a pawnshop or broker UNLESS they are broken, unusable, or STOLEN / hot.

These programs are for getting sh it guns off the street, mostly from junkies and thugs... or for those to damned dumb to know the value of a firearm and that usually means someone who shouldn't own one anyway.

I see this as a way to get some illegal junk off the street at least. I do not see this as any threat to our2nd amendment rights.

Worry when you see the price go to 1k... then you will see a danger.

I saw this earlier on the news... we all kinda laughed...

$50 for a gun? Like infolurker said above, if its a legal gun you can get more than that at a pawnshop for it.

Heck even if its stolen you can sell it to some idiot/criminal for more than that.

The way I see it the only guns they'll get are ones with blood on them i.e ones used in crimes. Which is cool with me.

lol cheapest gun in Colombia is like 1000 USD and it's crappy :p
50 bucks? they gotta be kidding
