There may be a way to pry them from their cold, dead hands

[quote][b]Police department offering gas money for gun buyback overwhelmed by interest [/b]

The department, which was offering $50 gas gift cards per firearm, ran out of gift cards 45 minutes into the five-hour event.[/quote]

$50? That’s it? What a rip off.

@zerofuks2give That's not even a full tank.

@zerofuks2give The point isn't to compensate you for having a deadly weapon. It's offering you something for an item you were willing to part with in the first place.

@Straylight And that's 6 tanks in my bike.

@Graylight it would seem like if they were really serious about getting guns off the street they would make serious offers 🤷🏻‍♂️

@zerofuks2give if they were really serious about getting guns off the street, we regulate them sanely. But no one's interested in it, apparently.
@Graylight Every time I try to have a serious conversation about regulating guns, mental health screenings, and so forth, all I get from the NRA crowd is idiotic memes and slogans. Meanwhile, the guy who did the most recent shooting had been literally saying for weeks he wanted to kill a bunch of black people, and specifically mentioned scouting the location where he did it. Even said he was going to kill that one security guard.

@LordShadowfire Defense of the 2nd Amendment is a hydra at this point thrashing around without a head. Nobody knows what they're talking about because the silt is always being kicked up and there's no sense of direction or purpose.

@LordShadowfire So Enforce the laws in place! Not take away my legally bought firearms. It's that simple.
