(I don't know why I bother linking as it will be gon ein a flash anyways) they will be buying back guns at 7 local churches on the 27th of septemeber. Unfortunately the prices are ridiculous:
An Uzi, AK-47 or other assault weapon can be traded in for a $100 cash card. Handguns will command $75, while rifles and shotguns have a $50 trade-in value. The Police Department will give $10 cash cards for nonworking or antique guns, including pellet guns and BB guns.
I mean I think the street value and even the scrap metal value of these guns is way higher. I love how antqiue guns will get only $10 when some of them could be worth like $10,000. Same with $100 for an uzi. What do you think the street value of an uzi is? I wonder what really happens to all the guns.
In case you are interested, here is where the weapons are being bought back at.
The same seven drop-off sites that were used in last year's buyback will be accepting weapons:
> Episcopal Church of the Good Shepard, 96 Jewett Parkway.
> Prince of Peace Christian Church, 190 Albany St.
> Primera United Methodist Church, 62 Virginia St.
> St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 450 Abbott Road.
> True Bethel Baptist Church, 907 E. Ferry St.
> St. John Baptist Church, 184 Goodell St.
> St. Mark's Episcopal Church Parish Hall, 256 Riverside Ave.
What a waste. Just ban gun ownership and lock up all illegal weapons. All this buying back is never going to be adequate until newer weapons are no longer available to replenish gun-less hands.
Of course, if the might-be new president herself believes in gun power and shoots down opposition, this country is going to gun-hell.
Am I the only one who thinks it is odd that the guns will be turned in at Churches. I get that you don't want to do it a police station because then it wouldn't really be no questions asked. But I can just get this image of "Hey Kids in bring Guns to church day", again I'm sure it is just me.
Studies have shown these to be very ineffective.

Sometimes, people trade in a gun to "trade up" later.
