To anyone planning on selling their guns to this buyback - I would encourage you to have a means to record video or audio of the process in case there are any shenanigans

I plan to sell some guns. What type of shenanigans do you anticipate?

Probably nothing, but I want some documentation if they refuse to take my guns or try to give me less than advertised. I'd also want a record of who exactly is working there. And a receipt.

So who is planning on going down to try to buy? I'm going to try and go I'll probably head to Station 14 its less of a drive for me.

I'm going to try and hit the one in North.

I've got a slamfire shotty ($100), a busty rusty Enfield sporter (that'll still fire, hence $200) and a .22 pistol ($200) that looks really shady.

I understand wanting to take these fools money. But why would you want to make these fools numbers look like a success full buy back. I would think that crickets chirpping as the politicians, and news mongers try to make hay out of this buy back would be the real optimum out come.

The message is that it's a waste of money since they're not getting their target audience. I have my statement all prepared for the media which will be present too...

Should anyone ask, I'm going to make sure they know I'm going to turn around and use the cash to buy a new firearm with a higher capacity, bayonet lug, and "shoulder thing that goes up"

Lots of opportunities from buyback programs:

Pro-gun group uses Chicago firearms buyback program to fund shooting camp for kids

A pro-gun group claims it flipped the script on Chicago's firearms buyback program by selling old, broken rifles to the city and then using the money to buy guns and ammo for an NRA-sponsored shooting camp for kids.

"Guns Save Life," based in Champaign, Ill., recently sold 60 firearms to the Chicago Police Department -- 10 of which were manufactured before 1898 -- in exchange for $6,240 in gift cards, according to group president John Boch. The sale also included five BB guns and a rickety pump-action shotgun that was held together by duct tape and zip ties, he said.

"They recognized it for the junk it was," Boch said of the sale. "At one of the locations, one of the detectives was very tenacious ... And hit the guys with a flurry of questions like 'Where the hell did you get these, from a graveyard?' "

Ooh, I like. I expect the ar won"t need sights to qualify. I wonder if it needs the BCG and CH installed? I have a junk barrel and gas block and cheesy stock Colt pistol grip and cheap plastic rail.

Sounds like an assault weapon to me!

They could "run out" of Visa cards after the first person shows up. I'd love to see or hear the police pitch they are going to use/intimidate folks to turn their guns in AFTER they run out of cards.

And what about those that just show up with pistols in a brown paper bag? Are they going to start arresting people for carrying concealed without a permit?
