Seattle WA held their first gun buyback since the 1990s,  gun collectors showed up with signs offering cash instead of Amazon gift cards.  The gun collectors used the gun show loophole to purchase without background checks.
Of the 160 guns taken in, most look like complete junk, no word on how many guns ended up going to a new home instead of being melted for rebar.

Of all the useless programs gun BUY backs are about the most useless.

Having been ordered to supervise usch by Marion Barry's finest upper echelon apointees I saw this firsthand.

It is one of those feel good things that well meaning philantropist orgs often do that accomplishes nothing other than wastes LE resources that
have to stop meaningful investigative endeavors and provide for photo ops and face time for Deprtmental brass.

Mostly what you get are little old ladies whose long deceased husband
brought home a 45 from the WW2 (or WW1) and stuffed it in between the hat boxes or someone who cleaned out the attic and found old uncle Charlies rusty shotgun or rifle that hasn't been fired since July 4 1930.

Next up is some guy from the nearby suburbs who got an offer of only $50 at a gun show for some single barrel shotgun or old broken rifle
and is out to double his money.

Gang bangers, stickup artists, drug lords and Rastafarian Posse members are consicously absent.

There is even some evidence that such programs even contribute to crime, since Junkie Burglars head to the Virginia suburbs and redouble their efforts to find $100 guns instead of $50 or $75 they get on the street.
