NY Gun Buyback Program Backfires Spectacularly
A man going by the pseudonym “Kem” showed just how useless some of New York state’s efforts to address gun violence truly are when he walked away from a buyback event $21,000 richer.
When he heard about people printing ghost guns to make money from buyback programs, he put his $200 3D printer to work. Six hours away in Utica, New York, the State Attorney General’s Office was holding a buyback event at the police department, and Kem brought 110 ghost guns with him.
It took an entire day of negotiating with the AG’s office staff, but in the end, he walked away with 42 $500 gift cards.
“I’m sure handing over $21,000 in gift cards to some punk kid after getting a bunch of plastic junk was a rousing success,” laughed Kem. “Gun buybacks are a fantastic way of showing, No. 1, that your policies don’t work, and, No. 2, you’re creating perverse demand. You’re causing people to show up to these events and they don’t actually reduce crime whatsoever.” (Read more from “NY Gun Buyback Program Backfires Spectacularly” HERE)
