Atlanta (Fulton this time) GUN BUY BACK!!! TOMORROW!

[RamRoddoc]

Well the last one the organizers said they would not do another one. Negative press and publicized individual citizens buying the firearms before the city could buy them for public safety drew negative criticism from their supporters.

So tomorrow in Fulton county at Atlanta Civic Center, 9am until 1 pm or the money runs out.

Stopping Atlanta Violence Effectively, also known as S.A.V.E. is organizing and promoting the event.

They are paying $50 for working handguns and $100 for working long guns. They will check the weapons for functionality, and they will not buy BB or pellet guns.

So if you have junk and want $100 for a POS rifle or shotgun and willing to stand in line on a work day for most or just want to hunt for a gem before the city buys it then have at it.

The previous buy backs have been covered here before. Stolen guns account for approximately less than 1-3% of the guns. Some really nice guns were saved from being destroyed.

EDIT: wrong numbers for stolen guns.

I Googled three gun buy backs, 2/nearly 600 and 22/1,221 I think, I posted it earlier. The rate is 0.3%-1.8% guns were stolen at those gun buy backs.

No stolen numbers from College Park were made public that I'm aware. It does not feed into the fear mongering agenda of the promoters of GBB's.

You can tell who they're catering to by doing it midday on a Thursday...

Man I work

Yeah, my job always seems to interfere with me having fun!

I've got an old POS pistol that I'd be happy to take $50 for too!

Anyone going from the northside? I wonder how they will treat folks buying from out under them?

So are you picking me up or am I picking you up?

I think I would hesitate to buy one of these firearms. How many have been used in a crime?

Less than 1% "reported" stolen if that eases your worry...

I'd worry less about a stolen gun and more about playing hooky for a few hours from work.

Real question, is it worth going? For example, if there are 50 people in line to sell (even 50 seems high) and 10 people are picking through the crowd, whats the chances of finding a non hipoint/bubba'd gub?
