    Seattle gun buyback turns into a gun show instead

    Police officers in Seattle, Washington held their first gun buyback program in 20 years this weekend, underneath interstate 5, and soon found that private gun collectors were working the large crowd as little makeshift gun shows began dotting the parking lot and sidewalks. Some even had “cash for guns” signs prominently displayed.

    Police stood in awe as gun enthusiasts and collectors waved wads of cash for the guns being held by those standing in line for the buyback program.

    People that had arrived to trade in their weapons for $100 or $200 Buy Back gift cards($100 for handguns, shotguns and rifles, and $200 for assault weapons) soon realized that gun collectors were there and paying top dollar for collectible firearms. So, as the line for the chump cards got longer and longer people began to jump ship and head over to the dealers.

    Eventually, THIS showed up to make things more interesting.A Freakin' Stinger missile launcher (sadly, already fired ... darn). It's now about as lethal as a baseball bat but I'm sure the media will announce that all flights are grounded until the missile is found.

    Looking at the list of weapons that showed up, there is some crazy stuff that they bring in. Note the wallet pistols, the belt buckle pistol, the silencer equipped UZI, the mortar, the ANTI TANK GUN (!!!!) and the street sweeper.

      That is funny. I know the area and when they say under I-5, it sounds like some back alley dealings. I-5 is raised highway that goes along the bay side of seattle.

          What kind of idiot would take $200 for a $1500 gun? Demand for all firearms has mushroomed. So has ammo. You can't find anything for sale now and if you do it is priced through the roof.

                Thanks, I'd rather die for a good reason. Not some pretend "protecting our freedom from terrorists" propaganda-redneck-pretentious excuse.

                  You got to love the free market and anyone who uses pretentious and redneck together.

                    Pink camo on someone riding through mud is a pretentious redneck.

                      Not every redneck is a true redneck. It's the pretentious ones you have to worry about. The ones that don't marry their sisters. The ones that have less than 12 children when they are 30 years old. The ones with a "high school diploma." I hate those.

                          That was a great phantom. Perfectly done.

                            The Stinger launcher got confiscated by the SPD. Evidently you cannot have those in WA, even harmless empty ones.

                              A custom T-shirt would have been a nice toss-in:

                              I traded in my Stinger launcher
                              and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.
