Planned gun Buy back in Everett and Mukilteo

[Knobgoblin]

I'm confused... How can they 'buy back' that which they have never owned?

Same way someone can hold an office they were never elected to.

The guns turned in go to company's that destroy the serial numbered receiver according to ATF regulations.
Then they sell the rest of the parts. Some of these company's charge 0$ for this service. Here is a sad
example of a Smith and Wesson Model 27 barrel with half of the cut receiver. How sad.

I have heard horror stories of things like German Lugers, high end English shotguns, and worse getting turned in to cut up. Such a waste. Plus, you know some deputy ends up with them in his safe.

You are right. Someone turns in a Colt and the officer, sheriff get it or worst it is destroyed.

Just a heads up. in case anyone wants to hang around and offer more. lol

Gun buybacks in Everett, Mukilteo offer gift cards for firearms | HeraldNet.com

Amounts are $25 to $300, depending on the weapon. Everett police collected 241 firearms at the 2022 buyback.

That or at these rates, a bunch of Rohm 10 .22 shorts might be a good investment

'In Everett, the gift card amount is $25 for inoperable firearms and ghostguns; $100 for rifles and shotguns; $200 for handguns; and $300 for assault-style rifles.'

Just a public service announcement...

This is just away to make the liberals feel good about their antigun feelings

And pi$$ away tax dollars at the same time.
Never close out a fiscal period carrying a budget surplus. This is public employment gospel.

They are overpaying.

My ghost guns are worth more than $25

If they use the word "buy" then does a person with an FFL need to be there? And do they need to do a background check every day they buy?

And the hits keep coming. Mukilteo just ships them to Nucor to be melted...One lady turned in 7 rifles from her husband that recently passed...damn sad.

Agreed. Because they are not an FFL I'd say that this whole "buy back" scheme is incredibly illegal and should be taken to court.

"I probably would have given it to them even if it was for free. So, it's nice to get $50."

Serf...

I wonder what great firearms will be destroyed to make garden stakes. I do not support these buy backs but it makes me sad when I see a rare or classic firearm destroyed - history destroyed.

The Everett PD buy-back was quickly over-subscribed. It was offered on an appointment-only basis. One day after they announced it, the appointments button on the website was non-functional.

The Mukilteo buyback had a condition on the $100 rifle / shotgun category. If it was a single shot, it was only $50.

The monies for the buy-backs were not from taxpayers, they were donated from philanthropic funds.

So if you build a double barreled slam-fire you can save a few bucks on the stock and increase your profit margin.
