Hi all, I just heard on the radio that the 1st Presbyterian Church in Dallas is planning on holding another :cuss: gun buyback this Saturday 10-2pm. Giving $50/gun. My thought was to show up with a couple hundred $$ and offer 55-60$ cash per gun (for any that I liked). Just thought y'all ought to know so you can help buy up all those poor homeless guns before they get cut up. Heard about it on AM 1080 radio today.
 
Q: How can you 'buy-back' something you never owned in the first place?

A: Gun grabbers believe that everything ultimately belongs to the state, so your guns are not really yours. They are only yours right now because the state has allowed you to 'own' them...for the time being.

So 'Gun BuyBack' makes perfect sense to them.

I would really like to see someone do this. Set up a table with a sign offering to buy the better end for $55.00 and see if you get any takers.

I'd also like to know what the church people and the press would have to say about it.

Go for it.

That would be awesome. Just make sure you setup on public property.
 
Hmmm . . . as long as you don't set up on church property, I don't see what they could do about it. Is there a public street you could park on near the church?

Maybe set up a friend with a hidden video camera, to document any harassment (official or unofficial) that happens . . . could be fun!
 
Bible Class Shoot

I teach a Sunday School Bible class and at our last class party and get together, we had target practice and a trap shoot. Many said it was the best class meeting they had ever been to.

Oh the beauty of freedom,
papaone :D :D
 
Hmmmm

If it $50 per "gun".....

Go buy [or dig out of the closet] any used or cheap BB gun you can find. Turn it in for the $50. Zip down to Wally-World, and buy a Red Ryder for (I think) $34.95 & tax if applicable. Cheaper models if available...Some of the lower-end Daisys start at around $20. Go turn in the Red Ryder for $50. Zip back to Wally World for another $35 Red Ryder or cheaper model..........

Repeat until the buy-back group runs out of money, or they figure out what you are doing, and tell you to make a flying pass at Santy Claus.

If you can make the $15 profit per Red Ryder enough times, you might be able to buy a few of the nicer ones, without ANY cash output from you.

Otherwise, I like the idea of setting up a competing table close by and offering $5-$10 more per gun.

I did that at a buy-back a few years ago....I ended up with a small profit by exchanging the $30 BB guns for $50 cash. Made $80 before they figured it out....and used the $80 to buy many boxes shotgun shells...:neener:
 
Hey Fog, that's a good idea too! It's amusing to boot! Thanks for the idea and the laugh.
 
I'm sure all the gangbangers, thugs, and criminals have their calendars marked. :rolleyes:
 
Another thought, what if you end up buying stolen property? I'm sure you would draw enough attenion that the local PD would want to "look" at the guns you bought. You'd be out $55.00 and the rightfull owner would get his gun back. Or, worse case....you get charged with receiving stolen property.

Your gamble.

Been there, done that and got the t-shirt. One of the big-time boxers was sponsoring a gun buy-back in Maryland. He put up $100,000 of his own money and was offering $100 per gun. Well............

A while before that I had picked up 3 rusty, beat-up black powder pistols at a yard sale thinking I could fix them up. Paid $20 for all 3. You can probably guess what happened next......

I put them in a bag and went over to the church where they were doing it. The line stretched down the block. Lotsa regular folks just digging grandpa's old .22 rifle out of the attic so they could get one hundred dollars for it. I also saw quite a few sawed-off shotguns.

So I waited in line and man was it cold!!! Finally got inside and up to the table and handed the nice policeman the 3 pistols. He made sure they were unloaded and handed me a receipt for each one. I went upstairs and handed the receipts to another man and he handed me three, crisp one-hundred dollar bills. I practically ran back to my car and took my butt back to Virginia.

I put that three hundred dollars to good use. Went to the gun store the very next day and bought a very nice Colt Series 70 .45.
 
This is by no means the first one. Gunsmith friend said he used such to clean out the back room of "unfixables". Sent his wife down in an old pickup truck. She came home with a couple of grand - for pure junkers. :D Some of 'em even recognizable on the TV news film. And the sponsor was proud of of it!

More likely the homeless and winos. Ladies and gentlemen, DO NOT leave any valuables in your vehicles downtown. :eek:
 
If anyone here...

is foolish enough to belong to the Presbyterian church

look where your Sunday offering is going:rolleyes:

And yeah, I had a friend that "made hay" at a buy-back here in South Bend. They had advertised it hard in the local news. He went to the local shops and bought the crap they had that was pretty much worthless.

Two good deeds done...he helped clean out their bankroll and he made enough to buy a new pistol

Not all Presbyterians are like this, but the biggest Presbyterian denomination, the UPC, has been officially knee-jerk leftist for as long as I can remember, and hemmoraging members.
 
I was hoping to find some more info about it and maybe their explanation of the whole thing at the First Presbyterian Church of Dallas website but I don't even see a mention of it there. http://www.presbyterians.org/

Edit: a google search of "gun site:presbyterians.org" did have one passing mention of it in their annual report. It's not clear but it appears to be a part of their "Stewpot" homeless ministry...appears to be a pretty liberal program. This church is PCUSA according to their website
 
PCUSA is the 'liberal' wing of Presbyterianism. Makes me sad to think I was raised up that way, albeit in the conservative faction.

The Dallas Stewpot group feeds the 2-legged vermin downtown and helps put them up for the night in exchange for the 'weekly Homeless rag' that some of them try to sell to tourists and decent working folks who are downtown.


Y'all holler and I'll help out on the 'alternate' buyback table. I might even bring the coffee because it's supposed to be sleeting/snowing that morning. I bet it's a thin crowd anyway.


Regards,
Rabbit.
 
Maybe the honest, God-fearing (although not necessarily all the same god), good people of The High Road should hold one. $120.00 a gun, and who knows? Maybe a good deal'll come through... at the very least, spare parts/ fodder for Class 2 holders :D

Imagine the possibilities... plus, we have some LEO's who'd be willing to sponsor such an event, right?

:rolleyes: :)
Ah, if only...
 
I wish St. Louis would get back on the gun buyback wagon - privately funded, of course! I've got a couple of hunks-of-junk that I'd like to unload so I can use the money to get something worthwhile.
 
Come to think of it, there are a few rusting hulks that came out of an old lady's basement a decade or so ago....
 
Hey if any of you have a wet suit and metal detector, you might find something suitable any place a road crosses a river. :evil: :D

I wonder how many rusted solid peices of crap they'd buy?
