As part of its efforts to reduce crime in the city, the Grand Rapids Police Department announced a new gun buyback program.
The police department said it will be holding two buyback events where people can get rid of firearms in exchange for a prepaid gift card with no questions asked.
The first will be held Saturday, Oct. 24 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 1534 Kalamazoo Ave. SE. Then on Saturday, Nov. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Genesis Non-Profit Housing Corporation.
Participants are asked to bring their weapons unloaded and stored in the trunk of a vehicle.

Two things:
1. "Buyback" guns aren't ON the street, they are in people's homes.
2. There is no evidence that "buybacks" limit gun availability to criminals.
These people say the most ridiculous things, without batting an eye. |

So, what are the rules?
Can I get a gift card for a cast polymer AR lower? How much?
If it has to be a complete functional firearm, how much for a slide-fire shotgun? Will I be prosecuted if I sell it to the police without stamping my name and a serial number on it? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
