On Saturday October 16th, a statewide gun "buy-back" scheme will be held in Waterbury, Hartford, Guilford, Bridgeport, Newtown, Stamford, and Norwalk. Privately owned firearms were never owned by any level of government (except for mil-surp or LEO turn-ins but once sold they no longer have a legitimate claim) so there is NOTHING for them to "buy-back." It is simply a sham to destroy privately held firearms by preying on the uninformed/uneducated that may end up with firearms they don't want. Or the desirable ones turned in end up in some cop's private collection. When these schemes are tried in The Free States of America, buyers will set up a booth right across the street from the cops and derail their efforts by offering "cash for guns" instead of bullshit gift cards. Here are some examples:

I have reached out to the CT Citizens Defense League (CCDL) suggesting they at least reach out to dealers in the vicinity of the buy-back schemes, but preferably statewide to hold a widely publicized "Cash For Guns" event on the same day. Most of the time the guns turned in are not from street thugs or criminals desperate to buy groceries or go shopping at Target or Best Buy. They are from widows and families that have acquired firearms they don't want from estates that they just don't know how to get rid of. Many times the guns turned in to be destroyed (or kept by crooked cops) are high quality firearms worth thousands. Bought for cash they can still be sold at a profit to someone that could only afford a good quality used gun. Or if not a good working model, they can became parts guns for repairs.
DO NOT COMPLY, DO NOT PARTICIPATE
Tell me these aren't members of "The Blue Line Gang" and media sycophants that want you disarmed
Seek out a reputable dealer, and if you don't think they're being fair find another. Don't be afraid to get multiple quotes and take the best offer.
