Can gun buy-backs be profitable?

[Justin D]

Being that people are usually offered cash or a prepaid card for one 'illegal' weapon turned over, couldn't someone make a few hundred really cheap looking things that could just barely be considered firearms? I'm talking about something little more than a grip, metal pin for a trigger, and a barrel. Something like this could technically function as a firearm, but it would be made of pot metal and be really thin. If one were to hand over a few hundred of these, he could turn a tidy profit.

Just a thought I've been having.

Well.... I doubt it would work but I like it.

Yes. It's been done. you don't even need to make them. You can get some cheap little .22LRs for less than $100. They usually give over $100 a pop for the buybacks.

this is a great idea to drain the coffers of disarmers.
