I listen to the radio most of the day while I am working. Today, I heard that some city in California is doing another gun drive. That's right folks. You can take your gun in and get a $100 department store gift card exchange. They will ask no questions.
First of all, there is not a gun in the world that has a market price of $100. Most guns, even used guns, are worth at least $250. Another thing that bothers me is the fact that California has a "no questions asked" policy. Do you realize what this means? It means that you people out there who own guns in California are viewed as criminals. Why else would they have such a policy? Like, I'm really going to take my favorite pistol worth over $500 and let the authorities give me a $100 gift card, assume I am a criminal, and then melt it down. Not!
I have a right to own a gun. Next thing they are going to want me to turn in is my classic chevy pick-up. Yes, I can see it now. They will give classic truck owners a gift card worth $100 to their favorite department store in exchange for the gas hogging, environmentally hazardous, evil trucks.
How stupid are people any way. Don't give California your guns. Keep them or sell them on the open market. There is no gun worth less than $250 especially if you have a quality gun. The last 2 used guns that I purchased were each worth that. One was a .22 cal. Ruger pistol and the other was a Remington 12 guage pump shot-gun.
