Gun club turns tables on stupid Chicago ‘buy back’ event

July 6, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

Irony is good for the blood:

The city offered a $100 gift card for each firearm turned-in “no questions asked,” as well as $10 cash for BB-guns and replicas.

The trio from Champaign transported about 60 guns to the Windy City (…) each firearm shared an important distinction: It was a piece of junk.

After attending buyback events at three different city venues, the Champaign County men had acquired $6,240 in gift cards and cash.

In delicious irony, the proceeds [the $6,240 pro-gun guys collected] from Chicago’s anti-gun program will be used to directly fund the state’s longest-running youth shooting event, the NRA Youth Shooting Camp in Bloomington.
