Seems Seattle Police had a bit of competition when they held a gun
buyback event last week. SPD were offering a $100 generic guns
and $200 for assault weapons in the form of gift cards. Across the
street was a line of private collectors offering cash. LOL.

Of course, there is one small problem. A "buy back" program
implies that the buyers were the sellers. Is the SPD admitting that
they, or the City of Seattle, had been selling firearms - no questions
asked? - just as they were now buying firearms - no questions asked!

cheers
