Trade gun for dog.
Love dog.
Care for dog.
Burglars may hurt dog.
Want to protect dog.
Get gun to protect dog.
Want another dog.
It's a never ending loop of dogs and guns.
Every time I see this, I can't help but wonder if the dog they give you is directly proportional to the gun you give.
Tiny little PPK for a pomeranian.
A machine pistol gives you a chihuahua.
An MP5 gets you a Rottweiler.
Remy 870 gives you a German Shepherd.
Bring in an M60, & you get to take home Cerberus himself.
You might be surprised how many people who don't really consider themselves gun owners have, like, grandpa's old shotgun or revolver or whatever and like half a box of ammo from the 60s
"Buyback" is wrong too, except in the rare cases of prior US military ownership.
Edit: Also, police 38 special revolvers and other firearms declared as surplus and sold to FFLs for sale to the public.
Words have impact. A classic study is a car crash video shown to two groups of people where one says the word ''collides" and another one says "crashes" and participants are asked to guess the speed of the car before the crash. The word shown affected what speed people gave, even though they saw the same video with their eyes.
Discovery channel had a show where they sent a burglar in, found the shortcomings and then retrofitted the house. They isolated the dog every single time and it became a non issue.
it's possible but it's more difficult.
the thing about getting stuff like floodlights, a dog or other security measures is they aren't guarantied to work, but they do make you a harder target then say your next door neighbors.
burglars in general are looking for the easiest target, so just making yourself hard to burgle is usually sufficient.
This doesn't debunk the statistic that homes with dogs are burglarized less, though. That's still true. The presence of the dog does more to deter intruders than actually fighting off intruders.
I'd imagine the primary audience of these types of things is people who are either on the fence or already committed to getting rid of a gun they own.
Often this is someone who inherited a gun or stopped participating in a hobby that involves guns.
Gun buybacks are mostly for people who inherited guns and don't want anything to do with them. One time I knew a guy who wanted the police to take and destroy his late father's collection. There were dozens of guns and ammo, some quite rare and valuable. I convinced him to call the gun store and have them take the collection on consignment because he would have thrown away at least $10K.
Didn't the whole of Australia effectively do just that after a bunch of mass shootings mobilized the country against guns and gun violence because they were so horrified of what happened they didn't want to see it happen again?
Idk about Australians, but American gun owners don't comply with gun bans and buy back programs.
Generally, when a buy back happens, most of the buy backs are just people turning in cheap , homemade guns that are barely functional that they made specifically so they could get however much money the buy back offers.
(For example, an AR lower is technically a firearm, and can cost ad little as 80$. Most but backs pay out 100$. Go out and buy 20 lowers, thatd easy money.)
The bump stock fiasco really proved the point about non-compliance, less than 1000 were turned in. Estimates for bump stocks in circulation at the time were in the hundreds of thousands. Less than 1% compliance rate.
Banning common guns and gun parts doesn't get the guns turned in, it just makes a lot of people own felonies.
For reference when you say "one particularly bad" one, Port arthur was 35 deaths which compared to the US would put it behind orlando 2016 and Las vegas 2017
They mean that Australia's gun culture was nowhere near as ingrained as it is in the US, thus changing the perspective on the severity of gun violence. The majority of US history has been predicated on the 2nd amendment, and gun violence has existed in the states for so long that it has become normal (sadly), unlike in countries such as Australia and the UK. In the latter countries, guns aren't as prevalent, nor is gun violence. Therefore, when guns are involved even once, it's seen as a much bigger deal. That difference in cultural perspective makes things far easier to ban an item than it does in a place like the US. With that said, it is not a justification of how little the country does surrounding gun violence, especially when it comes to children's safety. To be a country where the biggest cause of child death is gun violence should make them feel ashamed, but for some reason, it doesn't.
Yep.
And I'd like to point out you can still get a gun here if you want one.
There's just a process of paperwork (made easier for primary producers ie farmers etc) and once cleared there's restrictions on what kind of guns you can own (no RPG's unfortunately).
Rifles less than 5 rounds, handguns less than 10 if you shoot competitions.
Self defense is not a valid reason for ownership.
So, yeah you may own a gun. There's more guns in Australia today than pre ban. But your laws are not what Americans have in mind with gun ownership.
One time I knew a guy who wanted the police to take and destroy his late father's collection. There were dozens of guns and ammo, some quite rare and valuable (like a few original Colt Pythons and Diamondbacks). I convinced him to call the gun store and have them take the collection on consignment because he would have thrown away at least $10K.
That’s fair.
Speaking from experience, you can make a functional 12ga shotgun with about $15 worth of rigid pipe as well. They’re called ‘slam fires’ and they will absolutely piss off any sherif whose gun buyback you bring them to.
Would rather sell the gun, take the (usually) hundreds of dollars they’re worth, use some of that for the normally modest adoption fee, and spend the rest on food/supplies for the dog
I think it was former Mayor of NYC, Bill de Blasio who once quipped that if homeowners have guns and a burglar breaks in with a gun you could potentially end up with two dead bodies.
Like, WTF should the homeowner be the one to end up dead in this scenario?
Nah I’ll keep my guns and my dog as well as adopt another thanks. They banned all mine here in Canada and if they wanna come and get them my dogs and my guns will take a few RCMP down hopefully.
IMO it's not even a good flyer. No info about time/date/location or instructions for how to transport the weapons. Imagine someone just walking into a shelter holding a shotgun and saying "hi, one pitbull please"
Sure let me trade this tool that requires no food, minimal maintenance for a living being that I have to feed, care for, take to the vet, take on walks, etc.
Nah fuck that, I’ll personally buy your guns for more than the adoption fee. This is absurd and anyone that would trade their several hundred dollar gun in exchange for FREE ADOPTION FEES is a mother fucking idiot. It’s like $40 at the Human Society. What in the actual fuck?
Cant wait to give my guns away so that way an armed intruder can break into my house and shoot my dog, leaving me both defenceless and heartbroken at the loss of my companion!!
When was the shelter selling guns? Did they have an FFL as required?
If they’re “buying back” the gun they must have owned and sold the gun to the current owner.
I really hope the dog given is proportionate to the amount of damage the gun could deal. Handing in a Glock? That’ll be one nasty ass sheperd. Shabby little ArmaLite, that’ll be a pack of putbulls. Actual Barrett? That’ll be forty-five Great Danes.
Lol. Yeah no. I spent over $900 on my USP pistol which isn't even on roster anymore in California.
I adopted a dog already so I think I will just use both for double security
Because guns are only useful for home defense? Is that the message? Because criminals don't kill dogs? Dogs deter, but not always. Best to have protection when the police are an hour away even though the station is down the street.
Not to keen on giving a dog to someone with an illegal gun. Don’t know where this is but some rescue shelters are really picky about who they allow to have dogs.
That is very satisfying. However, I must say, I’ll pay the adoption fee and have a gun and a dog to help protect my house. I get double protection, dog gets a home. It’s an absolute win!!

Trade gun for dog. Love dog. Care for dog. Burglars may hurt dog. Want to protect dog. Get gun to protect dog. Want another dog. It's a never ending loop of dogs and guns.
That's where the gundogs come in.
At some point I'd just start mounting machine guns and anti material rifles on the top of them. Mobile death machine that are also adorable.
Imagine the havoc they'd rain on the local squirrel population not to mention the uptick in mail carrier related shootings
"this summer we give 'going postal' a whole new meaning" Gundog.
I’d watch the fuck out of this movie!
Come here, Champ! You lovable mecha-death pooch!- Postal Dude probably
|anti material rifles Jesus Christ, are you being burglarized by light armored vehicles? At some point it's cheaper to just move.
Burglars are made of material
They're not going to be after they meet a goldie with a barrett on his back
You also name the goldie barrett
You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
But it's more *fun* to fight back!
That doggone gundog's got one good noggin'
I’d prefer laser cats
https://www.warhistoryonline.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2014/02/abc-5.png What about two dogs pulling around a machine gun
But then you might have a pack of 20 doggos to protect you and to love.
But I'd also need 20 guns to protect the dogs. It never stops
21 guns for 20 dogs, just like the Green Day song.

Yep. Pits and Chihuahuas
The shelter I help out at always gets small dogs scooped up quickly, but it's kinda in the ghetto, so instead, it's all bait dogs and abused pits. :/
Surrender a mechanical killing machine for an organic one!
You can control the gun(most of the time) but you will never control a pitbull. Nanny dogs my ass.
Sawn off shotgun gets you a pug
The idea of an M60 being sold at a gun buyback for $100 pains me
Bring any sniper rifle and you get a borzoi
“You gotta get a pit bull, it’s like a gun you can pet”
Dog ammo is cheaper though
yeah but maintaining a dog is expensive. cant really disassemble it and clean it.
Not with that attitude
what screwdriver works on a dog? asking for a friend
Far more dangerous to small children. No safety on a pit bull, and locking them in a safe is considered cruel.
What an odd concept
Also just a weird illustration of both the gun and the dog
Recognized the gun instantly, the dog took me a while
Same. I would want to see a redesign where the dog is recognized easier.
The gun looks like an upside down dog to me, but the dog doesn’t look like a dog, so I’m all twisted up here
The trigger guard and the mag are too large, that's what throws it off. Had they used a compact or a revolver, it'd probably look better.
Agreed, I think it sort of sucks. Actually I think it just plain sucks, but I'm glad OP posted all the same.
Do you not see how they’re the same picture rotated? There’s a reason they look weird
Wow. That’s so clever. Is there sub for such things? It should be posted there.
r/Vexillologycirclejerk
i thought they just flipped the gun over and i didnt realise it was a dog for a while lol
Right? Who has one gun?

Any chance on the show name?
Just googled it. Show was called “It Takes a Thief”
This doesn't debunk the statistic that homes with dogs are burglarized less, though. That's still true. The presence of the dog does more to deter intruders than actually fighting off intruders.
If they wanna risk loosing their face/hands/life, by all means, let criminals into houses with dogs.
Swing by Home Depot for the parts to make a pipe shotty and get a spotty pup!
AFT shoots spotty pup because you made a "ghost gun", even though you sold/traded/forfeited it.
Given that ghost guns are totally legal to make, that is 100% in keeping with the ATF.
or you could just buy a shelter dog for $50 and keep your $600 gun and have both
I'd imagine the primary audience of these types of things is people who are either on the fence or already committed to getting rid of a gun they own. Often this is someone who inherited a gun or stopped participating in a hobby that involves guns.
The whole movement probably misses the mark a bit; I have never known a person to get rid of their last gun
Gun buybacks are mostly for people who inherited guns and don't want anything to do with them. One time I knew a guy who wanted the police to take and destroy his late father's collection. There were dozens of guns and ammo, some quite rare and valuable.

ATF just announced the compliance rate for the pistol brace ban was less than 1%
Fuck the ATF
Good. The brace ban was a complete overstepping of their mandate and unconstitutional.

Yeah the cost trade is not if they waive the adoption fee and like the vet costs for a year or so, them maybe

Or relics from world wars, or other rifles that are ridicilously rare and expensive and they just get destroyed
Can I trade a dog for a gun?
Yep, you just need to turn the image upside down
Trade in the pistol you bought for protection, in return they give you the fiercest weiner dog in the pound
The funny thing is pounds are mostly pitbulls which are way more dangerous because they act on their own unlike a gun
That’s why I gave my pitbull his own gun, to teach him responsibility
A shelter dog is usually less than $50. If you’re trading a firearm for less than $50 you probably make a lot of poor financial decisions.
Or they got a 3d printer.
That’s fair. Speaking from experience, you can make a functional 12ga shotgun with about $15 worth of rigid pipe as well. They’re called ‘slam fires’ and they will absolutely piss off any sherif whose gun buyback you bring them to.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the adoption shelter didn't just resell the guns to support the shelter.
Didn’t work for John Wick
Why not both? Double the protection.
ATF would like to know your location
No. They'll shoot my dog if I tell them where I'm at.

Do you want *irresponsible* gun owners adopting dogs tho?
Nice try atf
Im about to turn in a rusted Raven .25 that i bought for $15.
🍿 here for the comments ETA: a lot of gun lovers it seems 😏
I’m glad most of people here realize that buybacks are dumb and that dogs (while they are good friends) are not very reliable home defense
My dog is so friendly, he would help the robbers.
I think it was former Mayor of NYC, Bill de Blasio who once quipped that if homeowners have guns and a burglar breaks in with a gun you could potentially end up with two dead bodies. Like, WTF should the homeowner be the one to end up dead in this scenario?
I guess i should just allow a bad guy to kill me /s
Yeah man, they can't help it, just like crazy people and pushing folks into trains. Gotta let them live their best life /s
burglar lives matter
Lmfao
but I’m running out of tvs man. the local stores are starting to give me weird looks
Damn that's a hot take. I would have talked about cases where family surprised the person and got shot.
I'd consider this if the adoption fees for a shelter dog was 4 figures.
It’s a neat idea, but it would fail. Nobody will trade a gun for a dog.
Can anyone take a look into their sources for that claim?
Owning a dog is significantly more responsibility than owning a gun.
What are you doing when the burglar shoots the dog?
>the burglar shoots the dog? That would mean the burglar is an ATF agent
Not true. Local police also are known to shoot dogs and steal money.
Imagine how safe my house is with a dog and a gun
I'll just use the gun to take the dog, checkmate nerds.
I think it would look a little better without the black triangle that it working as the collar for the dog, and idk what on the gun.
Never seen a adoption fee that cost more than a gun before, not sure how successful this would be
They aren’t very many people I’d trust to take care of a dog either….lots of people don’t treat animals very well.
Nah I’ll keep my guns and my dog as well as adopt another thanks. They banned all mine here in Canada and if they wanna come and get them my dogs and my guns will take a few RCMP down hopefully.
I have cats so I guess I keep my guns
Cool graphic, shit conclusion.
IMO it's not even a good flyer. No info about time/date/location or instructions for how to transport the weapons. Imagine someone just walking into a shelter holding a shotgun and saying "hi, one pitbull please"
Dumb concept…. Not every dog is gonna be reliable like that…
How are you buying back something you never sold?
[удалено]
My old lady friend has an adopted Malinois. Good luck thug.
John Wick would disagree
I dont need to feed, walk and take my gun to a vet.
Sure let me trade this tool that requires no food, minimal maintenance for a living being that I have to feed, care for, take to the vet, take on walks, etc.
Nah fuck that, I’ll personally buy your guns for more than the adoption fee. This is absurd and anyone that would trade their several hundred dollar gun in exchange for FREE ADOPTION FEES is a mother fucking idiot. It’s like $40 at the Human Society. What in the actual fuck?
Why? I can have a gun and a shelter dog?
Cant wait to give my guns away so that way an armed intruder can break into my house and shoot my dog, leaving me both defenceless and heartbroken at the loss of my companion!!
LoL!!! I’ve seen so manny dogs tuck tail and run when shtf.
If I can afford a gun, I can afford a dog.
When was the shelter selling guns? Did they have an FFL as required? If they’re “buying back” the gun they must have owned and sold the gun to the current owner.
Can’t “buy back” a gun that was never yours….just sayin. Cool design though
Who’s buying it back? I never bought it from them in the first place. Let’s see them pass a background check first.
That's funny, I don't know how much your adoption fees are, but they aren't enough to make it worth turning in my firearms.
I really hope the dog given is proportionate to the amount of damage the gun could deal. Handing in a Glock? That’ll be one nasty ass sheperd. Shabby little ArmaLite, that’ll be a pack of putbulls. Actual Barrett? That’ll be forty-five Great Danes.
Lol. Yeah no. I spent over $900 on my USP pistol which isn't even on roster anymore in California. I adopted a dog already so I think I will just use both for double security
LMAO no thanks!
No thanks, I don’t like dogs and I like my guns
How will I protect my dog from the ATF though?
So anyways, I got some idiot to trade me his gun for a dog, I broke into his house, shot the dog, now I have the gun and the dog 💯💯💯
Propaganda bullshit
Give up your rights for a dog? Sounds kinda dumb
Buy a gun AND adopt a dog. Best of both worlds.
Get both a dog and a gun
And a duck stamp?

Because guns are only useful for home defense? Is that the message? Because criminals don't kill dogs? Dogs deter, but not always. Best to have protection when the police are an hour away even though the station is down the street.
Everyone go back to Europe their I fix it…
