Guns for food..... (shotgun, sale, revolver, shot)

[Grandpa Pipes]

It seems that even in tough times many will keep at least one gun when given the chance to trade their guns for food.

""If I could get $100 of free groceries, it's worth it," said Charles Edwards, 60, waiting in line next to his old .22 revolver after driving to Los Angeles from Fontana. "I wouldn't do it for $40. That's why people are here. They feel bad about all that's happening, but times are tough."

He still has a shotgun at home. "That's all I need," he said."

Guns pour in at L.A. buyback events - latimes.com

Saw some of those guns on TV. Dumbasses could have gotten 10-20 times more on the open market.

Nope. There are a bunch of local shops that would buy them. That is, of course, if they are not stolen.

Sorry, but , in this case, I'd rather hear an answer from "Bulldogdad" to since he saw fit to go off topic.

People are idiots in regards to these gun buy-back programs, a person can get much more for the gun by selling it.

Nope. Legal PPT at an FFL. Would you like me to define those for you?

Dont get yourself all tightwadded up.

I didn't go off topic.

I specifically commented on the stupidity of some of the people turning in guns worth much more that 100 dollars.

Given their lack of economic education for something as mudane as the monetary value of a possession, it is no surprise to me why so many of them are in the economic situation they are in.

Could you define that, please? After all, you claim to be knowledgeable about guns - I'd like to know what you deem to be an "illegal street sale".....
