Trade gun for a rose in S. Carolina on Valentine’s Day

[Lodge2004]

Didn't realize many places were still doing this. A big waste of taxpayer money. I'd be willing to give them a few clunkers though. Would use the money to buy more accessories for my AR or something.

Richland County sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Chris Cowan says there has already been a great turnout at one Columbia location and deputies have seized about 75 guns in the first 90 minutes.

I think this one word from the article sums up the official attitude pretty succinctly.

I just wonder if the LEO used the word "seized" or if it was chosen by the reporter. SC is a pretty gun friendly state or used to be 20 years ago when we lived there. It's the only place I know of where you can road hunt for deer with dogs. Imagine that you're driving down a country road and come around a curve to find yourself staring up the barrel of some Bubba's 30 some-odd waiting for his dogs to chase a deer across the road. That to me is not only scary, it borders on ignorant or stupid or something.

And this is stereotypical and rude to me.

Outbid them.

Probably allot of junker guns and stolen guns. I can't imagine anyone taking a gun down there that they actually paid good money for. You could always sell it on the street for more than 50 or 100 bucks.

From what I read, this isn't an attempt to get guns off the streets to prevent criminal acts because there is no amnesty for the gun owners for bringing in a stolen gun etc. To me this is no more than a cover up for disarming people of their firearms. Yes it would be convenient to take in an old broken junker but I doubt that was the majority of the guns brought in. I bet it was mostly people who needed the quick money so they took their guns in. I can't support these types of events where the objective is to disarm and destroy.

Perhaps people that are willing to participate in such a program are better off disarmed.
