| #10 they way they define them, my 50-year-old Remington Nylon 66 .22 cal would have been an assault weapon - considering my grandma bought it with Green Stamps, that would be quite a profit..... |

| #9 Cash for Plinkers? S'why these people could never make it in the real world. "I sell them at a quarter a piece, but for you I'll make a deal....three for a dollar." "Sold!" |

| #6 "Tax credit," not a cash payment. Also might be a convenient way to record who turned in a weapon, on the odds that the taxpayer may possess more. |

| #4 The stories I've heard mention the payout of $2000. Since you can get an "assault rifle" for less than that, people will soon be going to gun shows, buying out their stock, and making a handsome profit. |

| #3 IMA looking for a nice H&R Model 999. I'll pay $100. over what the gummit offers. Meet me at the Police Station weapons turn-in point. I'll be the grumpy old man sitting on the tailgate of his F-150. Come alone, and butt first or cased please. |

| #2 I've seen this done before. Turn in the oldest and/or bokenest gun, then go buy a nice new one with the money. |
