#2 Only fifty bucks? AND gotta get my ID run through the police computer? Uh, that's not the best way to accomplish this.

#3 Must be a slow sales month in the Kroger liquor section. Increased traffic, sales, free law enforcement presence and publicity, what's not to like?

#6 Smart Move. They are just stocking up for the coming demand when the Feds decide to do something like imposing sales tax in massive amounts. In just the last 18 months the costs of ammunition have jumped enormously by imposing a lot of minor charges. Just one example is the massively increased cost in posting ammo to shops from suppliers. I carry ammo in a shop and the costs of just procuring it have jumped significantly. Straws in the wind.

#7 I think I'll sponsor a gun "buy back". I could use a few more guns.

#9 This city is so damned liberal now. The people in charge these days have actually said they want it to be another San Francisco. Instead of a San Francisco Bay with a Golden Gate Bridge, they approved building a High Dollar Bridge over the Trinity River Bottom. Which most of the time is dry.

Bunch of mindless morons!

#10 Each unloaded, operational firearm surrendered will fetch a $50 Kroger grocery gift card.

Unless the gun is stolen, what's the motivation for taking this deal. Most firearms would sell for far more than $50 bucks in the Trading Times or at a gunshow.

#11 And just where do think they will go after the cops buy them? Off to be sold to other people to provide money for the department.

#12 My Father-in-Law was a Sherrif's Deputy in Jefferson County, Alabama for many years. He told me of a no questions asked gun by-back that Jefferson County conducted. He said there was an amazing rise in home break-ins with guns being main things stolen. He said all the police and Deputies thought it was a hige farce but the County Athourities hailed it as a huge success because of the number of firearms turned in.
