    I've read of the buy backs as they occurred. Perhaps it is certain municipalities of Virginia and other places. After posting I tried to find some articles but couldn't. I read them at the time though. I guess they are covering this up.

    Most places that have the buy backs only offer about $50 per gun. Most people turn in rusted junk but some get scared and give up everything.

      buy backs happen everywhere, and they are not mandatory,

      those that do will give you a gift card,

      not just in VA,, (in fact, it has been a long time since one was had in VA,,)

      police will put the crap they get in a pile, a few nice pistols on top, and take a pic for the news,


      fact is, a lot of folks will walk the line (if there is one) and offer more for nice stuff,

      and turn in crap that was picked up for next to nothing,


      I sold 2 shotguns that I picked up from an Insurance company , (bought a lot of fire damaged, lost/stolen recovery etc from them)
      both were fire damaged to the point the barrels were soft enough to bend by hand,

      but a guy wanted them for a buy back in NC somewhere,

      I netted $20 each, he paid shipping, and after rattle can painting to cover the rust, turned them in for a couple gift cards (he made a profit)

        Yes gun buybacks are nothing new and are voluntary so far.

        The article I read did state Virginia and it was recent (2 months?). It may have been propaganda since it was published by Yahoo who encourages gun control and liberals. The promoter of the event was shown holding up an AR15 of course.

        I see fire damaged guns sell on GB. People pay big bucks for something that usually has warped barrels, soft receivers and frozen screws, not to mention the rust.

        The wording on the picture (though satire) of this article express' how many feel I'm afraid. Like the article states too: "these guns that are now off of the streets" were never on the streets to begin with.

          At "buybacks" people often "turn in" guns that are not legally theirs. At one they found a kid "sold" his father's department issue handgun.

            Can't post a link to this. The article links to a United Nations job site for hiring English speaking Disarmament Officers.

            Blue Beanies in Va? Good luck. Hope the job includes life insurance.

                  Hmm. What if Gov. 'Jazz Singer' signs them up as Deputies for the kick in the doors scenario? If a citizen kills one it's a capital offense, if they are foreigners (likely) they just go home after murdering Americans. The Third World Debate Club would just love to put boots on the ground here; it would quell the growing liberty movement around the world. I can think of two scum sucking PoS billionaires would would gleefully finance a paramilitary force of a couple hundred thugs, at the request of Northam. Especially if the LSM forgot to mention the 'Deputies' were U.N. endorsed mercs until the information leaked out via conservative media.

                    not so sure a Gov can command UN Troops,

                    seems more like Fed level,

                      I'm talking about him inviting them in as State Police paramilitaries. With all respect, you are talking legalities. I'm talking about the party of Machiavelli.

                        by Gov I meant Governor,, but you are correct, they (dems) have pulled all the crazy out the bag on this one,


                        oddly enough, several vendors at shows years ago sold targets,,,,

                        typical paper targets,, with light blue helmets on them

                          I put Blue Helmets or UN coming to America in the same category as UFO's and Tooth Fairy.

                          By the way, let me say unequivocally, a UN operation is like a pig trying to grab a greased watermelon....
                          comical but hardly a serious possibility.

                                Senate bill is dead, and supposedly will stay that way,


                                was told that no bill will pass, but the House votes this week on it's own version, and the sponsor is a bit of a moron,
                                so the general census is it will be killed, and nothing happen this year,


                                hopefully, that prediction is true
