As long as you don't get run off I'd bet cash would go a whole lot further than gas cards. My biggest concern about doing something like that is getting a stolen/crime gun.

"a higher incentive of up to $300 in gas coupons for assault rifles because they are expensive and more desirable to criminals"

I guess I'm a criminal!!!

Circle K sponsoring again. It's nice to have a reminder why I don't give them any business.

Fairly certain the guys run serials.

"Donors who walk to the event should bring the guns in a sealed or closed container such as a bag, backpack or box."

Now wait, it's OK to walk down the street carrying a handgun in a backpack without a concealed license?

It's not "on your person"???

No identification or questions asked??? How is this not an invitation to people to go out and steal guns to turn them in for gas?!? Is that what they want to happen? I should go sit around the corner and give $320 for "assault rifles"

Give the BRAVE team a holler via email if you've got any questions or concerns: bravebtr@gmail.com.

I just don't have a problem with gun buy-back's. It is one of the few the only effort of the opposition I can get behind. I honestly don't mind my tax dollars being used for it either.

If they do check serial # (which I doubt), and find a firearm that has been reported stolen I wonder if they will notify/return the firearm to the legal owner? They should, if not then isn't this group violating the law by purchasing and/or possessing stolen firearms?

 

[ctrues]

Shouldn't they have mentioned that that the guns should be unloaded?

That is a really great question, I will call later today and let you know. I'm not as upset about them technically breaking the law buying the gun, or the person not being punished for possessing the gun. I just think that the stolen property should be returned to the owner rather than destroyed. If this is not the case, it kind of sheds light on their intentions, does it not?

 

[general mills]

The number does not work, I sent an E-mail, I'll update with their reply.

 

[general mills]

so far, no reply.

 

[Cochise]

so far, no reply.

Of course not. They are working "for the good of the community", how dare you question their methods.

Question: If they buy back a gun that is reported stolen, does the owner have the gun returned?

 

[kingfhb]

I wonder what condition it would be in when and if you got it back. When most of these "buy back" events occurr, they're just tossing them all zip-tied into a box and then drive them to a smelting facility to melt them down.

I seriously doubt they're even taking the time to check the weapons... or maybe they're recording them to check them later (once thier disposed of) and you'll get a letter letting you know it's been recovered, however due to a clarical error, it was destroyed. Though no payback to you because of some condition set fourth in the buyback guidelines or something.

Still should be illegal and the ATF should be involved.

I would like to see the weapons that are turned in. How many do you think find their way into the guys running it's collections?

Please, ask them. I tried to call (non-working number) and e-mailed them (no response). Perhaps if enough people ask the question, they will address it with an answer.
