Gun Buyback

[Leadeye]

Just the term buyback is used to reinforce the idea that you have the guns at the sufferance of the state. They really aren't your property.

Yep, what they ought to do is offer to buy back bumpstocks if they really want to compensate folks for something that is unjust and unconstitutional (banning a product retroactively and seizing property). Would not make it right, but at least there would be compensation.

There is so much more to this than what you see.

Which part?

Should be easy enough to get people to send money to a go fund me. Nothing illegal about me buying firearms (although I would have to be sure they were Indiana residents somehow). Taking a gun in to have it checked by a LEO is easy enough. I have done it before for a pistol I found.

Give it a go and let us know how it works out for you.

Not being snarky, I really want to know what it is that I am not seeing?

Oh I did not taker it that way at all. If you put this out there you will be under some scrutiny. There is always something that is not seen. If not everyone would be doing this. You would not be destroying these guns. You would be keeping them. There in is the issue.

I am not completely up on whats what but there is always something. Hence my remark.....Have at it and let us know how it works.

So what would be illegal about standing out in front of the buyback parlor and offering people cash instead? Just curious. I remembered going to gun shows and having all kinds of people running up to me and asking what I had to sell whille walking through the parking lot.

IANAL but I believe this practice is perfectly legal as long as you don’t interfere with traffic or people entering or leaving the venue. I’ve been to gun “buybacks” where people did exactly this. I even got called in a-hole by someone from a church wearing a monogrammed church polo shirt for offering to sell them magazines they initially wanted but later reneged on. The video is priceless; I need to dig it up and post it.

That would be an interesting question for the BATFE to consider.

There in lies the trick.

I did the recent buyback a month or two ago. I took a rusty pitted Marlin model 60 with no breech assembly in it and got a Visa debit card with I think $100.00 on it (or there about). I saw some decent guns go thru three for sure, dreaded black gun, scoped hunting rifle and at 1 Mosin-ish surplus looking gun.
If the Ohio buybacks goal is to make money for other programs I believe they will. I also believe they will be “dealing” in firearms.
Being a skeptical guy I would also be on the look out for Sacha Cohen too.
