Didn’t we have someone from this board that built a “firearm “ and turned it in a Minneapolis buy back?

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

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.

The infamous shotgun out of a 2x4 and pipe. That was awesome. I don't know if he is on here but I was next to him in line. That went viral and ticked off liberals everywhere. MPD at the "buyback" thought it was hilarious.

I could well imagine that the police, who actually know a thing or two about firearms and their use in crimes, are extremely dubious about buybacks but have to go along with them.

Good for them, though it does pain me to think about some curios & relics getting melted down.
