"Cash for guns!"

According to Christine Willmsen of the Seattle Times, police in Seattle held a gun buy-back event Saturday, offering $100.00 for handguns, rifles, and shotguns, and $200.00 for "Assault weapons." The police did not pay cash; instead they offered gift cards, ending the event several hours earlier than planned, after they gave out $80,000 in cards!

Some in the long lines lost patience and gave in to the people who surrounded the parking lot with signs saying “Cash for guns.”

One man jumped out of his vehicle as he was waiting in bumper-to-bumper traffic at the buyback and asked how much the gun enthusiasts and collectors were willing to pay for his three guns. He pocketed $500.
