#2 To be fair, the man is Canadian. He can't be expected to keep up with local laws when the sheriff himself is ignorant.

#3 Not to worry - the Sherriff will have plenty of time next term to brush up on things. Dan's stumping for him in the next election.

#4 There are a few things going on here, other than Aykroyd trusting the local Sheriff to know the laws. I will get back to Mr. Aykroyd.

The article says $50 gas for a caliber < 9mm, $100 gas for caliber > 9mm. Wut? That's some hollywood level thinking right there. Without getting into the whole caliber/dollar or type of firearm, let me point out: if the neighborhood is as bad as the Sheriff says, the good guys are not going to give up their protection for $50 (damn near insulting) and the bad guys are not going to give up their tool of trade for an amount they can easily shoplift in a single theft (to them, laughable).

Where is the County Attorney? Certainly not keeping up with the law. And the Sheriff, so concerned about guns, should he not also have been aware of such a law involving firearm transactions?

But despite all this, Aykroyd is going to go anyways as a Campaign for Sheriff trip.

#7 Maybe he can do "Gags for Guns", in which someone who turns in a gun gets tickets for a comedy by Aykroyd. That way no one can claim anyone's getting "something of value" for the gun.

I have always been struck by the low prices offered by gun by-backs. I figure most of the guns bought back have been stolen for the purpose of turning them in at the gun buy-back.
