The Baltimore City Police Department started its gun buyback program Monday and said they were able to purchase more than 500 firearms from residents. The Police Department offered anywhere from $25 to $500 depending on the type of firearm. (RELATED: Baltimore’s Police Department Embroiled In Corruption Scandal)

One woman told FOX45 that she was planning to surrender her 9mm handgun to the buyback program, but had a unique idea of what she would do with her newly obtained cash.

Good idea. No need to vet your buyer.

Its a bit strange that law enforcement are the ones tasked with these gun buy back or turn in events.

1) But now instead of having a possibly unregistered weapon she has a registered weapon.
2) overall it will result in a net reduction of guns versus no buy-back program

She likely would have sold her old weapon to someone who shouldn’t have it.

...so the program works!

LE are allegedly trained to handles guns. That's why.

Do they require registration there? If it is a private sale, it won't be registered anyway.

Why does the government get to break its own laws and do these gun buybacks?

Yet they frequently have negligent discharges, shoot other officers by mistake, shoot civilians by mistake, miss their intended target over, and over, etc. Some LEO's belong to my gun club. Many are safe, and competent, but there are some that aren't, and when they show up, I leave.

Only if she bought the gun illegally by not going through the proper paperwork or lives in a state where no paperwork is required for a private sale.
