Mandatory gun buyback bills introduced

[gunpoliticsny]

Two new so-called gun buyback bills have been introduced to the City Council:

• INT 0933-2024, Requires the NYPD to conduct an outreach campaign to inform the public about the department’s gun buyback programs.
• INT 0934-2024, Requires the NYPD to establish a monthly gun buyback program.

Imagine if they used FLL's to support this effort. And the guns wouldn't become paperclips and could actually make it back to the original owner. Imagine. But perhaps that isn't the goal. More facilitation with no real goal.

"Mandatory", huh?

I do not think that word means what THEY think it means.

But the AFT says if you sell a gun you are a dealer. Sounds like NY is trying to entice people to break the AFT’s rules.

Selling @ Market Value? Hmmmm...

All good points. But an FFL can't accept any non-NYS compliant fire arm or a pistol from someone without a permit because we would be contributing to a felony. Yet gun buy back with no questions asked you can make your own (people have spent about $20 at Lowes and done this), turn in what has been in your closet, turn in what doesn't work anymore and has already been used in a number of crimes. Seems like the State doing what is easy for the State; Laws for your not me. And the LEO's are caught in the middle seeing it all happen, knowing what is going on, and having to pay the OT for it.
