There was a gun "buy back" like this in Dallas not too long ago. I traded 1 junker and 1 working but cheapo in for $100. I had previously tried to off one of these guns (the cheapo) at several gun shows and couldn't even trade it for a decent holster.

If they keep doing these in Dallas I'll keep an eye out for really cheap crappy guns in pawn shops and at the tables and turn a profit.

I wonder of the politicians see any irony in paying a criminal for a stolen gun or a gun that was used in a crime. How many of these guns might have been used in crimes but are now destroyed (and no longer available for ballistic testing). It's purely a "feel good" media stunt.
