There was another buyback about six months ago in Atlanta. I took some screencaps from the news story.
The vast majority of guns, both in the hands of people waiting in line and on the tables, were innocuous stuff:
- black powder pistols and rifles
- old Biden Special shotguns
- old pump and bolt-action rimfire rifles
- cheap .22 revolvers
- numerous pellet guns
- several guns I couldn't identify, many of which looked like toy guns and incompetent replicas
I saw one Ruger P-series, and that was the most modern thing I could see turned in.
A $50 gift certificate would represent a profit given the wares I saw.
