Gun buy backs are a joke, try going to one and see what kind of guns are being bought back. Here's a clue, gun owners use the buy backs to sell off junk we've abused, neglected and can't sellso we can use the cash to buy new guns. Thanks progressives, your program bought me a new deer rifle last year. LOL fools. Please don't ascribe your motives to everyone else. New Jersey's attorney general said some of the gun owners who showed up at two Camden churches Friday and Saturday appeared to be motivated by the mass killings Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. Jeffrey S. Chiesa alluded to the possible motive at a news conference at Camden's police department, where heaps of surrendered firearms were on display. "We heard that there were a number of gun owners on Saturday who had publicly said, in light of the situation that had just occurred in Connecticut, they wanted to turn in their weapons," Paul Loriquet, a spokesman, said in an interview. Camden Police Chief Scott Thomson said most of the 533 handguns and 504 long guns, including five semiautomatics, were operable. Some residents, interviewed Friday, said they turned in guns simply because they no longer wanted them in their homes. One man said he would use the $400 he received to buy Christmas gifts. Last year, 57 guns were turned in during the city-sponsored program. http://www.officer.c...d-participation 57 firearms turned in last year and 1,137 this year. Quite a difference.
