Cash in guns today -- $100-$200 gift cards

Marisa Lagos

Saturday

The public can unload unwanted firearms at San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza today -- no questions asked -- and receive $100 to $200 gift cards in return.

The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is sponsored by the mayor's office and the San Francisco Youth Commission and is called "Gifts for Guns."

The public can bring in an unloaded, operative firearm in a clear plastic bag that is put into another container, such as a gym bag. Anyone turning in ammunition should put it in a plastic bag separate from the firearm.

Those who drive the gun to the event should put it in the trunk.

People who turn in rifles or shotguns will receive a $100 gift card; a revolver or semiautomatic will bring a $150 gift card. Those who bring an assault-type firearm will receive a $200 gift card.

Every gun i own costs more than $100.00. Most gun's run much higher it's not a good way to make money.
 
Someone with easy access to a large number of cheap mil-surplus rifles could make a huge profit.

Not being from CA I am not sure, but doesn't this constitute marrying a concealed firearm? Wouldn't that be baaaaddddd juju in this part of the state. If pulled over or stopped by LEO on the way could land you in prison, no fun.

Heh, do zip guns qualify?

The most basic zip gun consists of a short length of steel tubing, into which a cartridge is placed. The cartridge is then held in place by an endcap, with a small diameter hole drilled in the rear to allow access to the primer. A nail or other thin object is then placed in the hole to act as a firing pin. A spring or rubber band can be used to propel a hammer against the rear of the firing pin, in order to fire the cartridge.

Steel tube + rubber band + nail = $2-$3.

If zip guns qualify you could make a gigantor profit.
 
Hey if anyone pulls a Templar223 here call up a local reporter and have them go along with you to publicly make a mockery of the buy back
 
Whenever I see one of these announcements I wonder whether any taxpayer dollars are being used.
 
Doesnt CA classify the SKS as an "assault type firearm"?

Considering you can get one of those for under $100.....

where do you find these at for that price?

I would have to be about starving before I would sell a gun buy back anything. Bunch of leeches and gun grabbers!
 
Meh, just buy a bunch of airsoft guns for 20 bucks a pop. $150 per gun, equals $130 payoff. I wonder how much they actually inspect them, lol.

Let's see, what makes it "assault-type"?

Pistol grips -- nail a piece of wood behind the trigger guard of some $35 rifile.
Flash hiders -- put one on a starter pistol
10+ round magazines -- argue that every semi-auto could take a 10+ magazine if you just made a longer magazine.
 
Are Hi Point Carbines assault rifles? They can be found all over the place for less than $150. In fact NIB for about $175. This is a good profit for you and is good for the company if they destroy the gun. Please don't send in Milsurps as they are not making more of them but any new American made gun would be perfect. It will help the economy and the gun banners will be lining the pockets of the gun companies. I fail to see a down side. If I lived closer I would fill a trailer full of them, show up early and clean them out of funds.
 
I think that templar did great in Chicago, but why doesn't one of the San Francisco members stand outside one of the "buyback" locations holding a large sign reading:

"The average 911 response time in this neighborhood is xx minutes.
Are you sure that you still want to turn in that gun?"
 
Old POS gun - $20 at pawn shop

Can of Black Spray Paint - $4 at hardware store

Selling Evil Black Assualt Weapon at SF's "Gun Buy-In" - $200 Mastercard Gift Card

Using said Mastercard to buy new guns and ammo to teach the children - Priceless.



As a side note, I'll tell Da Mayor, Jesse, and "Father" Pfleger that they's get better results at their "buy-backs" if they raise their price from $100 to $200 per gun.....:evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:

Knowing what is going to happen to these guns after the sale would make me pass even with a big profit. What a sin.
 
Truthfully the destruction of a truckload of guns gives me no more shivers than say the destruction of a truck full of Milwaukee Saws. There is also little down side when you consider who is turning them in:

#1 - Stupid people. This is fine. Once disarmed shows Darwin hard at work. A little self cleaning of the gene pool is a good thing.

#2 - Gunnies. Making a few dollars and buying better guns. The gun buy back program will help get cheap unreliable guns off the street and fund the purchase of new and better guns. Supports gun shops and gun makers as well.

#3 - Criminals. This rankles a little. They won't give up the good stuff (if they even know what it is) but they will be selling the gun they stole from you with full government approval and immunity. At least it will be one less gun the bad guys will have... maybe.
