Seattle, Washington police held a gun buyback program over the weekend for the first time in two decades, but not all the guns brought to the buyback were handed over to the police.
According to the Seattle Times, individuals gathered underneath Interstate 5 in a parking lot to hand over their guns in return for gift cards.
But, while Seattle PD was exchanging $100 and $200 gift cards for unwanted guns, makeshift gun shows sprang up on the sidewalks as gun enthusiasts offered cash to those standing in line.

I wonder what the "buy backers" did with all the loot? Let me guess, all of the leos and gov't 'good-ol-boys' picked through it and took what they wanted home with 'em.., for FREE!

That same thought crossed my mind. Actually it's not a bad idea. Get some guns relatively cheap and legal.
Good Idea!
