Two things:

 

1) Anybody know when a cash for clunkers, err, gun buyback is happening?

 

2) Is it possible to do in NJ, what they did in Austin TX? Meaning, hangout outside said buyback, and purchase working, and usable firearms from people?

About 40 gun buyers, both independent and otherwise, stood in front of the Austin Police Gun Buyback Event offering CASH for the guns they were about to turn in to the city for food cards. As people rolled up, we approached them with our offers, and paid them hard cash after inspecting the guns to make sure they were operable

I don't see why not. The PD would be pissed, but legally I think you would be OK.

I would be a bit leery of doing this for other reasons. I'm sure at least some of these guns were used in crimes. No better way to destroy the evidence tha let the police do it for you. Grandma with Grandpa's S&W Victory Model he carried when he was bombing Japan from a carrier during the summer of 1945 is a different story.

Is there an OGAM problem?

OGAM doesn't apply to long guns...

Hmm.. Might be a good chance to get some cash for that old clapped-out .22 rifle that inevitably sits unused in the back of the safe. If the buy-back amount was more than a gun store would pay and the payment was cash, it might be a good opportunity to strip the rifle of magazines, scopes, swivels, etc and trade it in to get some cash to put towards another firearm.

I'd be surprised if you could convince any sheeple here in NJ to sell you their gun instead of turning it in to the cops. NJ authorities have done an outstanding job convincing the majority that guns comit crimes, not the POS that they keep letting out of jail holding it.

 

And they would probably arrest you as you were walking away with the gun claiming you had no reason to have it out in public. Guilty until proven innocent.

What you are going to get for that .22 is probably not even worth it in gas. Put it for sale on here, there will definitely be SOMEBODY who would want to buy it from you. The benefits of selling it here to a member.....that's one less gun the police can say "See, we got X-number of guns off the streets!"

Also, don't person-to-person long gun sales in NJ require both parties to have an FID?

Yup, I hear what you're saying about the potential padding of their stats, but the kind of .22 I'm thinking of would be so crappy that I wouldn't want to encumber any of the forum members with it. Also, there would an element of satisfaction knowing the precious funds of some anti-2nd Amendment group was being put into something they would hate; an AR, a hunting trip, or a donation to a youth shooting group.

"...or a donation to a youth shooting group"

 

BTW - by "youth shooting group" I mean a group that promotes the sport of shooting to youths. Not a group that goes out shooting youths. Just in case it wasn't clear...

Maybe someone should stand outside and tell people about this...

Well as long as you tell them this when you turn the gun it.....then I wholeheartedly support it

 

There is also a loophole. You can do something like cut down the barrel, making it an "assault weapon", and get more money for it.

Also, don't person-to-person long gun sales in NJ require both parties to have an FID?

 

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Only the purchaser/acquisitioner needs to have a FPID.

 

That is another NJSP Big Brother add on to the form.

 

HEY JOEJAXX. Add this FIX to your list.
