    What are they offering? $10 gas cards? I gave a few nerf ones that don't work any more.

      Hmmm, perhaps it's time to head over to Home Depot for some pipe, 2 x 4's, and duct tape to make up some guns to trade for gift cards

        The usual recently widowed wife stuck with his guns and hates the sight of them. Has her anti gun grandkids turn them in.

          Did they own them before?

            Thank God! I have some off roster handguns and a few RAW's to turn in. I would love me some Target gift cards.

              Only thing that would convince me these days is some Shell or Chevron gas cards, worth their weight in gold right now

                Why? The exact opposite is true - the cards themselves at a set price will now buy you LESS gasoline than they did before, so they are actually worth less in what they can do.

                A $100 gift card gets you about $56 in gas if compared to gas prices of 2 years ago.

                If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

                  I'll go if they hold it at a gas station and swap you a full tank for a rusty old single shot shotgun.

                      Ah - got it.

                      But the way people are crazy about gas prices right now, I've heard and seen too many ridiculous ideas and correlation to acquiring gas over the past week.

                      It's gonna get worse: just wait until the gas starts to run out and the begin rationing it like circa 1977.

                      Carter all over again, but not even likable.

                        I turned in two last time at my local one ($$ limit).

                        I'm waiting for another one.

                        Turned in two POS's worth less than the buy back. One of them didn't have a stock, so I fashioned a 1x4 as a sock and got it going again to at least go "click" and meet the overall length parameter to be legal.

                        Both were 70's era sears crap all rusted out.

                        The guy collecting them looked at his boss as if to wonder if they should pay on those. Yep, his boss said. It's functioning.

                        Haha.......... suckers...............

                              If you’re a landlord & find a junked up .22 pistol from a previous tenant , this is perfect.
