The gun I turned in is not worthy of being held in high esteem. Like, worse than Hi Point and it cost more. Why should I take a loss selling it for $50 to someone when I could get more money for it at the buyback? That's capitalism and I robbed the mofos who funded the buyback blind. If someone is stupid enough to donate money for a buyback thinking it's really going to make a difference, well, there's a sucker born every minute.
OP, obviously you can do anything you want with YOUR property, just don't expect a lot of "attaboy's" about it.
Selling a gun at a "Buyback", even if ugly and useless, is not too far off from selling an ugly/useless sister to a brothel...
Those are the types of guns that would have been put to better use parting them out or trying to repair them or selling/giving them away because the return for those is only $100.1st table second long gun from the left looks like a Marlin 120 12g shotgun, ive been looking for another barrel ( or parts gun ) for a long time for one of those and there it is........
I will say I hope all those previous gun owners that turned in "junk" don't regret that decision when there city is on fire, maybe a "junk or old gun" bet it most would still go bang based on the pics posted, especially that single shot H&R, damn waste of fine gun.
Have been thinking of getting a Hi Point .45, just wish they'd make one with the $100 finish...The way to rectify this is to take the cash and put it toward a new gun.
This. Turn in 100 broken BB guns and the headline the next day will read "100 dangerous firearms taken off streets in successful gun buyback"doing this gives legitimacy to their lunacy and gives them good photo ops
f*** gun buy backs and f*** those that participate
Yeah, cuz those 115 year old H&R revolvers and double barrel 20gaugh shotguns are the choice of gangbangers in Lower South Providence these days.This. Turn in 100 broken BB guns and the headline the next day will read "100 dangerous firearms taken off streets in successful gun buyback"
OP would never learn to stand up for 2A if everyone gives him $200.Just a show of hands, how many of you skinflints would have given OP the same $200 to not sell the POS gun to the liberal machine? Money puts food on plates.
Talk is cheap.

So no. I wouldn’t give him a nickel.

I feel better and in the end some fool flushed his money down the toilet to make himself feel better.
Now you're just repeating what other people have said. What's the matter, can't think for yourself?Not very comforting when you realize the fool who paid for it is you with your own tax dollars. They’ll continue taxing, continue funding “voluntary buybacks,” and normalize the rape of 2A rights until suckers defend “mandatory buybacks” on NES like this. They’re shifting the argument that direction and you’ve helped them do it.

My circumstances are shit right now. I've been laid off for nearly 3 months and will likely continue to be laid off the rest of the year. I thought I had another job lined up back in August and they called me back days before I was supposed to start and said the position is no longer available. I had to pay a big car repair bill and my car insurance the same day last week. Rent's going up, grandmother seemed like she was on her deathbed two weeks ago, and I can't buy any goddamn primers because they're not available.You’ve made my point. All pro 2A folks aren’t well on. While the OP’s circumstances are certainly different (video game money?) I imagine the situation isn’t as uncommon as we might think.
I’m playing devils advocate here mind you. If the option is sell a POS to a gun buyback for for $200 for ammo money, or get lowballed here on NES, what’s a guy in a tough spot to do?
Perhaps it’s a solely contrarian position as I have yet to be there myself, but I wouldn’t want to be shunned for it if I had to.
I also probably wouldn’t advertise it as well though
Edit- my poor ass is a GOAL and GOA member, so flame lightly please.

You might want to edit your OP; the part where your going to use the money to buy video games.My circumstances are shit right now.

I figured getting $200 for something I've wanted to get rid of for years would be a good thing, but now I'm some kind of traitor.
Life sure is funny.
Duly noted. It was an idea of what to buy, not necessarily what I was going to buy.You might want to edit your OP; the part where your going to use the money to buy video games.
There are two polar opposite views within the pro-2A community on how to beat anti-2A liberals doing their silly, useless gun buybacks.I figured getting $200 for something I've wanted to get rid of for years would be a good thing, but now I'm some kind of traitor. Life sure is funny.
