Come on my friend, you and I both know those aren't the reasons they want your firearms!Lets say that you have a firearm.
You have never harmed anyone with it...or broken any laws.
Please explain to me how , turning in your firearm is going to do anything to:
Stop crime from happening ...
Prevent the criminal from committing more crimes...
Keep firearms out of the hands of those who would commit crimes or harm others...?
Don't you just love their play on words?!*"Buy Back"...How can someone buy back a firearm they never purchased in the first place...?
True...Come on my friend, you and I both know those aren't the reasons they want your firearms!
As an educator, you should know this "it's for the children".Soooo.....

Its your firearm...if you wish to turn it in at a so called "Buy Back"*...
Then go right on ahead.
But don't try and sell me on the notion that doing so , would do any damn thing to keep crime from happening.

*"Buy Back"...How can someone buy back a firearm they never purchased in the first place...?
"Pat , I would like to solve the puzzle......NO"....Don't you just love their play on words?!
Well now....As noted I do work with children.As an educator, you should know this "it's for the children".
Of course you're preaching to the choir here on NWF.Soooo.....

I've never been ordained...I see firearms as tools. If I have a rusted out wheelbarrow worth practically nothing, and I can trade it in for something (IE. a $100-$200 gift card), you bet, I'd be right on that.
Well yes...I've never been ordained...
Firearms are more than tools to me....However...I also know that :
Not everyone thinks like me...or has to either....

I'd rather point at them. Explain what ignorant morons they are. Watch them get all wild-eyed and crazy, trip, and fall into a pile of dog crap! Face first!Let them believe that it's their money well spent.
Well, that tooI'd rather point at them. Explain what ignorant morons they are. Watch them get all wild-eyed and crazy, trip, and fall into a pile of dog crap! Face first!
All of that is true for you.Well yes...
I prefer properly functioning firearms over 'wall-hangers'... That's not to state that 'wall-hangers' may not have their place -- IE. For sentimental or historical value.
I still keep some of my old man's tools around for the same reason.
The point I'm trying to make is that there seems to be this thinking among some that discarding any firearm at all is some sort of sacrilege, even if it is a non-functioning POS.
If I'm to collect something, I generally prefer nicer specimens that actually work as designed.
I'm not one to collect garbage, but if I had a few worthless old rusted Jimenez or Lorcin .25s laying around that I could trade in; to then recirculate that money back into the firearm industry by buying something new...
No tears lost if those aforementioned firearms get tossed into the scrap heap.
If it makes the virtue-signaling gun grabbers feel warm and fuzzy, that's merely a side-effect. Let them believe that it's their money well spent.
How does a firearm not having been used in the past prevent it from being used in the present or future?My point in my OP is this :
How or why , does turning in your firearm...a firearm , which you have never used to harm anyone or commit a crime with...
Prevent crime ?
If you are not committing crimes or harming others...you ain't the problem here.
