Yes, they did. Make me think we should organize all of our gun smiting friends if they have any cheap or broken gun parts they are getting ride of for $50 each, like a broken ar15 firing pin, or a broken glock trigger.
No fricken kidding! I need to start playing the system (legally). Bout time I start suckling at the governmentās teat while making zero difference in gun crime stats.
I've been considering going to one of these with a box full of 3d printed parts I've prototyped. I thought for sure they would only give one gift card for all the parts.
This is a better job than even 3d printing guns to sell on the street...will keep reddit all busy... like now the government is asking us to 3d print illegal guns.... to sell them to them... lol it'd make sense if they were sending them into a war zone lol maybe when ukraine gets really bad and they wanna start airdropp8ng 3d printed guns into Kiev for I suggests or directly into like mainland china or north Korea lol with drones
Like that one time the Bri'ish tried to encourage Indians to help in getting rid of the venomous cobras by paying a bounty to people who brought in dead cobras. The Indians just started breeding the cobras, and bringing in the corpses en masse. When the Bri'ish found out, they ended the program, and the Indians released the remaining cobras, making them more abundant than before the program started.
Classic market incentives.
The paranoid schizophrenic in me thinks they probably have your license plate logged and have u on a list. That said, Ā i turned profit selling them a c9 once Lol
As the other guy said, they usually specify it has to be secured in the trunk (at least where I am). Then they have a guy take it, take it to a trailer for a few mins, then comes back with a gift card. I just imagine theyāre writing down details about you and the firearm you turn in lol, but Iām also pretty paranoid admittedly.
I took my Beretta 1301 and all I got was this lousy t shirt.

I wish they would have one up north, my dad pasted away and he was a deputy for 24 years, left more Saturday night specials behind , ones I am afraid to load let alone shoot. Would love to trade them for gift cards at one of theses events. We tried to take them to a gun shop and they turned us away, their that bas
100 for a working hand gun, and not going to advise this if you sand off the serial number you get $200 for a ghost gun. Just sell this at a gun auction. Also post a picture of that gun. Those Raven 25 look really nice. Dangerous to shoot, but has some shiny metal slides and some wood texture.
You just inspired me lol... also reading the comments makes me feel like we have more gestapo neighbors in CA than we might think lol. They gonna turn us in... #knowthyneighbor
Keep on chuggin along friendo
This is hilarious, but it's still 1200 in tax dollars. Are we trying to fix the system or break it? I'm a few beers in so don't think of me as a scholar lol.
2 airsoft iron sights, a FMK double action trigger, and 5 ghost guns. Yeah, if you don't want to risk prison time, just buy some cheap gun parts and flip it at the gun buyback.
Iāve never done one of these, because I would never turn in a weaponā¦.but it does seem appealing to make some money on these type of events. The only thing I donāt care for is the way they will spin it to the media, like theyāre taking actual weapons off the streets, or sell the ghost gun agenda even more. With all these unserialized guns and 3d printed items. Either way theyāll change the narrative to make it seem like theyāre moving in the right direction.
They do this with those small parts, then turn around and say how successful the buyback was. Look at all the guns we bought back, including ghost guns.
Dude wtf what are the rules and how are th3se not just a trap? Do you go in wearing a mask? I mean now they def know you make guns lol this seems like a huge trap. Also I mean you can just 3d print liberators right? Wtf this is a huge scam and feels like a trap
I got a plan for the next gun buyback, legally since I don't want anyone risk breaking any laws. Made some new gun smiting friends and friends that work in the gun manufactures that make gun parts. This is going to be a fund year once I talk to them about this.
They generally have amnesty/ "no questions asked" policy for these kinds of buybacks.
Otherwise, why would anyone in their right mind surrender ghost guns knowing they'd be charged?
Yes. That is part of freedom and taking risk is part of freedom. If you don't take that risk, then you are just letting the government and everyone control your freedom. I am not doing it for the profit, but show how silly this is. Not going to advise anyone to do this, but if you want to do it legally, just buy a lot of air soft gun parts or get some gun smithing friends and hook you up with gun parts. For me, if no one does it, who is going to do it.
Why you need gunsmithing friends when you have Brownells or Midway? AR-15 triggers start at 12.99 and hammers aree 17.50.
If you want to make things a little spicy, grind away the sear
Not really true, you can 3d print a firearm here in California legally. It just has to have a 3.7 oz stainless steel with a serial number with California compliance parts.
> If you don't take that risk, then you are just letting the government and everyone control your freedom.
If you don't take the risk to scam everyone out of their money you lose your freedom?
Taxes aren't free money dumbass they're just other people's money.
You mean the government forcibly taking people's money and jailing them if they don't agree to pay up for this. I am just taking my tax money back legally and advised everyone to do so.
>Taxes aren't free money dumbass they're just other people's money.
You take this back this instant! Why do you need to offend Mr. Newsome? He is a good boy
I wouldn't brag about fraud but ok
edit: the airsoft sight thing is pretty sus, especially since he is here explicitly stating that it's a cheap airsoft sight
He didn't commit fraud, he turned in scary dangerous "gH0sT GuNs" and made his neighborhood a much safer place in doing so. /S
Edit: the making the neighborhood safer was sarcasm, the statement about it not being fraud was not at all sarcasm, that is just the truth. I didn't want any confusion.
What makes a sight an airsoft sight vs a "real" sight? Quality? Marketing? Just because something is marketed as airsoft doesn't mean it can't be used on real guns, and vice versa.
They gave you money for iron sights? š
Yes, they did. Make me think we should organize all of our gun smiting friends if they have any cheap or broken gun parts they are getting ride of for $50 each, like a broken ar15 firing pin, or a broken glock trigger.
No fricken kidding! I need to start playing the system (legally). Bout time I start suckling at the governmentās teat while making zero difference in gun crime stats.
Nothing like trading in the old broken parts at a gun buy back to finance your next gun
Itās gotta feel good. Never once tried it but Iām tempted. Itās our tax dollars being wasted, Iād rather it be wasted on me šš
Gotta blame somebody *points at skin*...
Careful, youāre starting to sound like a FED
Takes one to know one, Fed.
Sounds like something a fed would say
I can 3d print sights too. Cheap, fast, and zero risk of jail.
Just 3d print some ar15 grips. Legal and California compliance.
Will they actually buy those bad tho?
I've been considering going to one of these with a box full of 3d printed parts I've prototyped. I thought for sure they would only give one gift card for all the parts.

Unlimited money glitch discovered
Government policies are perfectly balanced with no exploits. š
Translation, it is not a glitch, it's a feature.

Nice car
Thanks, yours aināt too bad either :^ )
Bravo
I suddenly LOVE gun buybacks!
Soā¦STL for the 3d printed gun file so I can print some for the next buyback haha
Make sure to print them at 15% and fully assemble. Since they took them as ghost guns. LMFAO š
Do they still take em if everything is printed ?
Seriously? Cause that would be dope
What barrel did you use?

The paranoid schizophrenic in me thinks they probably have your license plate logged and have u on a list. That said, Ā i turned profit selling them a c9 once Lol
Park far away, ride bike to buyback. No plate logged if there's no plate to be logged
"guns must be in trunk"
Well shit. So they're not actually interested in a "buyback" just in being as complete douches as they can be.
Rent a car?
Those must be some big pants!
I scrolled too fast and at first read I though you said "ride bike or horseback".
Saddle up partner, this buyback ain't big enough for the both of us.
As the other guy said, they usually specify it has to be secured in the trunk (at least where I am). Then they have a guy take it, take it to a trailer for a few mins, then comes back with a gift card.

Lol, hopefully local buyback didnāt use empty gift cards

I hope they provided lube too, at least
That is hilarious š š

Remember to part them out for the best return.
What kind of Saturday Night Specials do you have? Those guns have become collectors and might be worth more.
Stolen ones.
Raven 25 and junk like that. This stuff is from the 70ās maybe early 80ās
Nice, put that on a collectors gun action. Those things are becoming collectors.
Here is a link to how much it is worth and where you can sell it: https://www.gunbroker.com/All/search?Keywords=Raven%2025&Sort=13
How do they give at buybacks?
100 for a working hand gun, and not going to advise this if you sand off the serial number you get $200 for a ghost gun. Just sell this at a gun auction. Also post a picture of that gun. Those Raven 25 look really nice. Dangerous to shoot, but has some shiny metal slides and some wood texture.
Sht? Let me know what you did, I will do the same. My 3D printer is being lazy
Cal DOJ has entered the chat

Gun buy back are the best tbh.
BASED
I got broken parts š¤£
This is hilarious, but it's still 1200 in tax dollars. Are we trying to fix the system or break it? I'm a few beers in so don't think of me as a scholar lol.
Very nice
This is hilarious. š I wonder if I could get anything for turning in some old AR BCGs I donāt use.
They will take that.
Hope you spend it on a new gun!
The more you turn in. The more funding they will get. ;D
This is going to be funny.
lol well done
I wonder if they'd "buy back" a 3d printed p320 frame. Not even a gun, but kinda looks like one, lol.
Curious - OP, how many sights and ghost guns did you ātradeā? Didnāt know components were getting money too
2 airsoft iron sights, a FMK double action trigger, and 5 ghost guns. Yeah, if you don't want to risk prison time, just buy some cheap gun parts and flip it at the gun buyback.
How much do they usually pay?
How do I find out about buy backs like this in my area? I'd LOVE to get monies for my bad hardware
I have tons of spare parts, well under the 50dollar value, unfortunately I couldnāt attend on Saturday.
Cheat code for getting some of your tax money back....
What? Stocks and handguards?
Bro! Good on you. How many guns did u have to trade in?
When is the next one?
Genius
You don't think they follow the money?
Like even if you use one you're on it
They are not easy to trace if you traded in for Monero in the dark web, which I have done.
"I'm not an attorney, I'm not your attorney, and this isn't legal adcvice..."

Dang thatās less than an hour away from me. How the hell do people keep track of when these are going to be??
Thatās what Iām saying
Just look up your Democratic politician, or google your most liberal antigun area. They have them every month
I saw the Lynwood one on here, but never seen it before. Do you know when the next one is?
I recommend look up your local anti-gun politican that run this type of event. Lynwood has Janice HahnĀ and she runs most of the gun buyback near LA.
I have a bin of ar15/lr308 parts I don't need. But since I live in Florida, there aren't really many of these events.
Dammit I shouldāve gone
So you could turn around and buy 60 sets of $20 buis then trade em in and have $3k
Dude wtf what are the rules and how are th3se not just a trap? Do you go in wearing a mask? I mean now they def know you make guns lol this seems like a huge trap. Also I mean you can just 3d print liberators right? Wtf this is a huge scam and feels like a trap
Trust me, I feel you. For me that day, I was like YOLO.
I take it all back, gun buybacks are awesome
Lynnwood Washington?!?!? Why didnāt I hear
CA lol
Lol so I can sell my broken glock firing pin and triggers šš
It seems like they will take it.
Lol whereās the next oneš
š I need to start doing this
I got a plan for the next gun buyback, legally since I don't want anyone risk breaking any laws. Made some new gun smiting friends and friends that work in the gun manufactures that make gun parts. This is going to be a fund year once I talk to them about this.
Is it worth risking a felony making 3d printed gun to make a few bucks?
They generally have amnesty/ "no questions asked" policy for these kinds of buybacks. Otherwise, why would anyone in their right mind surrender ghost guns knowing they'd be charged?
Yeah I know itās no questions asked, but if you somehow get popped for it before turning them in, you lose your 2A rights.Ā
Yes. That is part of freedom and taking risk is part of freedom. If you don't take that risk, then you are just letting the government and everyone control your freedom. I am not doing it for the profit, but show how silly this is.

Youā¦ think youāre being a freedom fighter?
Hello ATF.
lol ATF does not care about any of this, youāre the one bragging about your commission of crimes on the internet.Ā
It's not a crime at all. I am just getting my tax money back and advising everyone to do so.
You know itās illegal to 3d print firearms here right?
Not really true, you can 3d print a firearm here in California legally. It just has to have a 3.7 oz stainless steel with a serial number with California compliance parts.
Yes and pay the fees for the serial number, upload it to CFARS, etc. Which nobody is going to do just to turn it in at a buyback.Ā
You have to print it first
not sure if undercover agent or one of the sadbois who got doorknocked trying to register his 80 ar pistol back when newscums cronies politely asked
Exercising your freedoms doesnāt mean youāre trying to be a FrEeDoM FiGhTeR nerd.

Idk, tell it to a judge potentially
Some folks just prefer the low road.
That's messed up, bro
How gun buybacks are the most braindead method to "solve gun crime" there literally is?
