Another Reason to Oppose Gun Buyback Schemes February 26, 2008
Posted by Webmaster in 2nd Amendment & CCW.trackback
On Feb. 9, Oakland police, led by state Sen. Don Perata, D-Oakland, offered to buy handguns and assault weapons for $250 each, “no questions asked, no ID required.” The “One Less Gun” buyback program attracted so many eager sellers that the money quickly ran out. But instead of closing up shop, the police handed out IOUs good for a future buyback. The Oakland police are now stuck with a bill for $170,000.
$250 and no ID? Talk about an incentive to steal guns. They probably wouldn’t get close to that on Oakland’s black market.
