Then you haven't been paying attention.

Leftist cities/counties have been doing this for years.

The no ghost guns thing is new because people have been making homemade guns for next to nothing and then making bank by turning them in.

I will say this, if you have a non-functional firearm that has no value, either $$$ or personal, and it isn't worth repairing, its a good way to dispose of it and get something for an otherwise worthless object.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

A privately made gun that is essentially "off the record" or untraceable.

Sounds like a good time to hang out in that park's lot and buy some guns.

You know the county is not paying even half what they are worth.

They do this yet the local DA, who is Democrat, has voiced concerns that the no questions asked impedes criminal investigations and the head of the police union calls it virtue signaling.

Exactly. Or bring them in from other counties and thus "destroy" evidence no questions asked. We can debate the merits of this, but allowing people to run in guns without asking questions is just silly.

Dang solid idea.

Murder someone in Dallas and Austin. Get rid of the murder weapon via the Buy Back Program.

Thanks for the advice

City of Houston had one just a couple of months ago, it was widely covered in the news and we talked about it on the Houston board, where you also post. Pretty sure you thought you'd see this in Texas.

My constable announced a cookie takeback program, so anyone in possession of dangerously sugary, highly addictive Girl Scout cookies could turn them in to any Pct 5 deputy, no questions asked.

Sad to say this is so far down the list of what's broken with Harris County right now.

Libtard "law enforcement" actively assisting their constituents to destroy evidence of their crimes. Damn shame to see what has become of the county I grew up in. The insanity & stupidity used to end at the Houston city limits.

According to many on the right, any city with a downtown over a mile away from the countryside isn't really Texas.

That being said, like someone above mentioned, it is a good way to make easy money. So there's that.

There was a Blue Bloods episode a while back where this situation occurred. As I recall in the episode a witness specifically recalled the custom grips on a pistol and the detectives saw that gun come across the table at a buy-back. Think it was a sibling of the suspect that was dumping the weapon. Don't remember all the details, but an interesting episode.

Wasn't there a picture from one of the Houston buy backs that showed all the worthless stuff turned in? nothing could have been sold in a pawn shop let alone commit a crime.

I'm confused.

President Biden assured me that ghost guns were a real and present danger.

His goons even took a break from shooting domesticated pets in order to crack down on unfinished receivers (AKA paper weights).

Republicans have won every statewide election in Texas for the last 28 years (including every statewide election in the 2022 general election by 10-17 points). They have the mandate to make garbage like Hitler style gun buybacks illegal. Abbott, Patrick, Paxton need to stop poll testing every single issue, and show some balls like Desantis. Exert your will on the Soros funded communists and marxists that have turned Harris County into a crime ridden **** hole. Harris and Travis County show you that every thing liberals touch turn into *****
