[4EVERM-14]

I had a conversation one time with a sheriffs officer from an urban county about buy backs. He stated that a group of religious leaders were pressuring to organize such an event. They refused to hold it at one of the churches or halls, refused to pay any cops for security, refused to assist with volunteers, refused to put up any money or gifts towards the exchange and in short just expected the county to run the entire affair. They seemed only interested in getting credit for the idea. It never took place. They later complained that the sheriff was callous and irresponsible to the issues of the community.
These are feel good inventions that don't address any real crime issues.
