We should all be doing this at every opportunity. I've got a Bernardelli that I've pretty much given up on finding parts for, but I bet I could make it pretend to work long enough to get a gift card worth about $50 more than I paid for it.Peter Buxtun, a 70-year-old gun advocate, turned in two pistols Saturday that he said were worthless. He collected $300 in gift cards.
"You can buy junk guns for $10 and then use the gift cards to buy new guns," he said. "I saw a half-dozen uniformed SF police officers taken off the street to sit for hours in a City Hall photo-op, instead of patrolling certain drug-ridden and gang-infested neighborhoods."
If these things happened around here on any sort of regular basis, I bet I could come up with a good pile of junk guns. For bonus points, get everybody together on it, and after they post their numbers of guns collected, contact the media with our number of worthless pieces of junk sold at a high profit...and how many guns or how much ammo we were able to get with said profit :)
