I'll be sure to take my 16 year old daughter to that one.
Dont worry no self respecting hillbilly would ever trade his weapon for basketball tickets. (monster truck rally maybe) Dont know about the gangbangers though. |

I told them my gun was loaded as I was showing it to them and they gave me 20 front row tickets. YMMV. LOL |

This is not the first gun-exchange program implemented by city police. Last year, they collected almost 1,000 guns in a monthlong program that traded guns for shopping vouchers. A 2004 buyback offering cash and gift certificates also brought in about 900 guns. It is also not the first time that the Sixers have participated in a gun sweep. In 1999, a three-day initiative that offered Sixers jerseys netted about 900 firearms.
If it works.... |

I see the city is promoting gun thieving.
This will ensure that you can get rid of those hot guns. No questions asked. |

Just because they got people to turn in guns doesn't mean that those guns would have otherwise been used in a crime. My guess is most of the guns turned in are antiques/junk/stuff people had lying around the house and not guns that would otherwise be used by criminals.
A gun is just a piece of metal until it's used in a crime. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. |
