Minnesota Gun Buyback Nets Homemade Shotgun

Now just need Tulsa or a surrounding community to do the same.  I could finance a new firearm rather quickly.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

If you hear of one let me know.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

A commenter on the Minnesota Gun Talk message board noted that “every single person in line was one of us.”

Yep, Gun nuts use these as an opportunity to sell their "junk guns" for much, much more then they are worth.

I may do the homemade shotgun thing, at the next one they have in Chicago.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Didn't Chicago turn away some gun owners from their buy back because they were white?

If I remember right, the folks turned away were part of a group that profited from the "buy back", and used junker guns to help fund a youth shooting program.

APS should sponsor its own gun buyback.

I made $200 off of junk revolvers a few years back that were in my grandfather's estate. Early 1900's Iver Johnson DA .22 that was way out of time, and some no-name .32 that no longer even locked up. Both worth less than $25 for someone to weld them shut and use as wall-hangers.

Wisconsin Carry Inc. was protesting/intercepting anything "good" and tried to shout me over. I told them it was junk and I was funding an NFA stamp. They cheered.

Can we be selective in what we buy and for how much?

I have "bought back" a few guns this year.  However, the manufacturers keep making more than I can buy.

Didn't Larry Correia or one of his buddies make up a few single shot pistols out of old rifle barrels to sell at a buyback, then brag about how $5 of scrap metal and 15 minutes of work was netting him $150 a pop?

A guy I know used to run a pawn shop.  He said he scrounged up a handful of cheap pistols for a buy back they tried in Houston a decade or two back.
