Texans beat the police at gun buy back

Brilliant initiative, buying guns that would have been destroyed and giving them to people who cant afford to purchase firearms.




FIRST EVER! – Austinites outbid Police in gun buyback counter-program (UPDATED)

EXCLUSIVE – DeadlineLive.info

Today in Austin TX – Activists were successful in buying TRUNKS full of usable firearms that would have otherwise been destroyed (or ended up in the hands of “terrorists” – as we have seen before how cops confiscate guns and resell them to cartels…)
About 40 gun buyers, both independent and otherwise, stood in front of the Austin Police Gun Buyback Event offering CASH for the guns they were about to turn in to the city for food cards. As people rolled up, we approached them with our offers, and paid them hard cash after inspecting the guns to make sure they were operable. (the Police were unbelievably cooperative in the process)
I ended up with a 9mm for a fraction of what it would cost at a gun shop.
Media was in attendance, both local and international. They did seem somewhat confused by our DIRECT ACTION, as did some of the citizenry trying to TURN IN THEIR GUNS. The sounds bytes on local news all sounded identical: “We are turning in our guns so that no one can break in and steal them, using them for crime”.
Well then… How about this?

No comment huh?

About 50% chose to sell them to us, rather than the police. Some simply sold broken guns for $100.00 worth of food. Think “Cash for Clunkers”…

No not really. Rather the difference between people standing together for a cause, and people watching the cause from the sideline.

Alone, this little ant below, will accomplish nothing.
