Gun buyback scheduled for Feb. 9th in College Park

Not a bad day. Picked up a 1952 Marlin 39A and Stevens .22/.410 as seen below. When I asked the gentleman if the 39A belonged to his pappaw, he looked up and exclaimed, "I am pappaw, I am 85 years old!" I also met a few nice folks including Rustyboy and RamRoddoc.

Saved guns stack. Thanks guys!

This is the far common firearm taken of the streets. The stock was in pieces and taped together. It's a $150 gun!

As cars pulled up eager gun savers went to the rescue.

Some folks didn't like the camera. I missed the interesting fellow with yellow pants mid-thigh and blue boxers. He avoided the camera as well.

Some sellers never had to wait in line thanks to the gun savers.

Working the crowd to save guns.

Another $150 break top single shotgun....

Zombie?

$150 Remington 1100 in really good shape.

At around 2:30 that's all folks! Note the horse trading and selling on the side lines. Someone got a $40 .45 ACP Highpoint when the city's funds dried up.

A $100 .38 Charter Arms.

Sorry but this is pathetic and saddening. From the looks of it, there was as many people there today as there was at the rally yesterday. I guess people could give a ratsass about their rights, but money they covet.

We, gentlemen, are F$&@*#!

There is so much win in this thread. I really hope my town engages in one of these misguided wastes of taxpayer money some day.

I'd give 100 for that 38

Were they doing this again tomorrow or was today it thanks to running out of funds?

It wasn't bad--because 50% of the guns were single shot shotguns, 45% were lorcins, jennings, etc. Only a couple firearms there were decent.
