    Seattle Gun BuyBack Gets JACKED! Turns Into a Damn Gun Show! LOL

    Posted by Ed Brown on Jan 27, 2013


    Police officers in Seattle, Washington held their first gun buyback program in 20 years this weekend, underneath interstate 5,  and soon found that private gun collectors were working the large crowd as little makeshift gun shows began dotting the parking lot and sidewalks. Some even had “cash for guns” signs prominently displayed.


    Police stood in awe as gun enthusiasts and collectors waved wads of cash for the guns being held by those standing in line for the buyback program.


    People that had arrived to trade in their weapons for $100 or $200 BuyBack gift cards($100 for handguns, shotguns and rifles, and $200 for assault weapons) soon realized that gun collectors were there and paying top dollar for collectible firearms. So, as the line for the chump cards got longer and longer people began to jump ship and head over to the dealers.


    John Diaz, Seattles Police Chief,  wasn’t pleased with the turn of events stating “I’d prefer they wouldn’t sell them,” but admitted it’s perfectly legal for private individuals to buy and sell guns, FOR NOW. Mayor Mike McGinn said at a news conference the private
    transactions are a loophole that needs to be closed. “There’s no background checks, and some (guns) could be exchanged on the streets that shouldn’t be in circulation.”


    But Schuyler Taylor, a previous gun retailer attending the event in hopes of buying weapons, asked “Why not offer them cash versus a gift card? I’m still taking the guns off the streets; they’re just going in my safe.”


    People were reportedly, at one point, jumping out of vehicles  whilst sitting in traffic – making on the spot deals with the gun buyers.

    I know in San Diego that licensed gun dealers can buy guns that have been bought back by the police at their yearly auctions. I think it's shameful that the police should sell guns for profit , after duping citizens into thinking the guns that they are turning in are not being melted down and taken off the streets like the commercials say.

    No-one has any intention to get all the guns, Constitution has already been upheld by Supreme Court so that is already over with, lots of hype around it, lots of senseless manipulation for profit. Smart move on the guys part - might find something good before it gets destroyed - pretty funny. Wish I would have thought of it
