Re: "Gun Buy-Back" program...

They had one of these in Houston a long time ago in about three locations on the same day. A co-worker and I went to two of the locations. I bought a very nice S&W revolver (2") and a Glock for $100 a piece. The Glock was in pretty good condition (1st generation) and the revolver was like new in the box. We stayed there about three hours to find these bargins. About 95% of the guns were junk and possibly not worth the $50. My co-worker got a nice 870 pump for $75 and a 1911 that was in parts (looked like most all the parts were there. Slide and frame looked good) Heck we even saw one unifomred HPD officer apparenly buy one off someone in a long line, go put it in his truck and then go and relieve the cop at the desk taking in firearms. I wish they would have one every month. My co-worker and I even thought about putting adds in the paper and getting a magnetic signe for his van offering to take these nasty old guns off people's hands. We were going to call it Street Safe, an organization to reduce gun violence on the streets by collecting firearms from folks who had one and didn't know what to do with it - widows, ex-spouses, sons and daughters that inherited them, etc. We think it woudl have worked, but were not sure if it would have been strickly legal. We thought about gift cards or gift certifucates etc. in the amount of $25 to $50.
