Finally, a feel-good story out of moonbattery-addled Chicago. Recently the city collected 5,500 guns during a buyback program, handing out $100 MasterCard gift cards for every gun ($10 for BB guns and replicas)…
Sixty of the guns and several BB guns were turned in by the Champaign-based Guns Save Life. In return, the group received $6,240 in gift cards, said John Boch, president of the group. …
Most of the money will go toward buying ammunition for an NRA youth camp in Bloomington. The rest will pay for four bolt-action rifles that will be given away to campers.
“This was rusty, non-firing junk that we turned in,” Boch said. “We are redirecting funds from people who would work against the private ownership of firearms to help introduce the next generation to shooting safely and responsibly.”
Bwahaha! But unfortunately not everyone who exploits the staggering stupidity of gun buybacks has such noble motives.
Todd Vandermyde, the NRA’s chief lobbyist in Illinois, … said he was told one suburban gun dealer imported junk rifles for less than $50 each and received $100 gift cards for each of them.
Elsewhere, con “artists” have turned in homemade zip guns to get the taxpayer cash.
As for the possibility of the program accomplishing anything other than to waste taxpayer money,
