MN gun buyback exchanges money for junk. Wonder when they will figure out that these things are just backfiring!

Sounds like the cops figured out what was happening and though it was hilarious!

I've always thought that buyback programs were both ridiculous and wrong-headed.

Government agencies have no place in participating in such activities.

Buyback programs are, of course, a brainchild of the left, so it doesn't exactly have to work as intended. As with most Liberal ideas, it throws money at a perceived problem, allows organizers to say, "we did thus and so", and it strokes the emotions of overly emotional people. It gives an illusion of doing something useful. Kind of like a company I used to work for; if the big boss showed up, do something. It doesn't matter if what you do is right or wrong, productive, unproductive, or counter productive. As long as you appeared to be busy, you didn't get in trouble. If there was literally nothing to do, make something up. Sharpen a hammer head, polish the ladder, whatever.

If you are a talentless hack, with access to money that isn't yours, "doing something " pretty much equates to throwing that money at whatever the squeaky wheels are going on about, today. Doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, productive, unproductive, or counter productive. You've done something.

You know what's sad? When you can take a $30 POS single shot shotgun, cut it down into a "sawed off", and because it's "illegal", you get MORE for it!

I kid you not!

When they were having a buy-back, they were paying cheap for regular stuff, but "Assault weapons, and sawed off shotguns", they were paying double...

Hacksaws in parking lots... and viola! "Oh! Look how much we got off the street!"

Yeah, some farmer's POS corner gun, ain't a street thugs choice.

A guy got a $100 gift card for this.

How else will they get money to buy ammo for their guns at home that work?
