发帖数: 29846 | 1 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,
Boch said he doesn’t think the crooks who have pushed the number of
Chicago’s homicides to 38 percent over last year’s total are the ones
handing over their weapons.
“If you were a criminal, you would be a fool to go there with the
police presence,” he said. “What criminal would turn in the tool he uses
to do his trade for a $100 card?”
But with government programs, it’s only the do-gooder intentions that count
, not the easily predictable detrimental results. |
