If one isn’t into guns, it’s hard to parse what you’re looking at it. You’re looking at mostly garbage. Those are grandpa’s guns, which may be great!, and I’d bet few actually function. Can’t get a new firing pin or funky spring for that 70-yo shotgun? Turn it in, get paid!
Anyway, over on /r/liberalgunowners, we’d get a hearty chuckle out of the buy backs and police pics.
Or, look at it this way: Almost every gun pictured is a long gun of some sort. In America, long guns, including AR-15s, are used in ~4% of gun deaths (including suicides, weirdly enough). It’s the pistols people kill with. See any pistols?
Not sure what the point of the pics is. Looks like a huge pile of killing devices being disposed of…
Cuz they’re not semi-automatic?
