Can't find 7.7 ammo for that highly collectible Japanese Arisaka Type 99? Oh what the hell, just sell at the PD Buyback program.

#5 My father-in-law was a county deputy. The county had a buy-back program and break-in burglaries with the only items stolen were firearms sky-rocketed. They didn't try it a second time.

#6 Cutlery of all sizes, axes, hammers, tire irons, jawbones of asses, and rope still excluded from the 'buy-back' programme.

#8 These programs never do anything, all they ever collect is broken or ancient guns. Just like the article stated.

#9 They just had one in Boston two weeks ago - it just looked like Mayor Marty Walsh showboating.
