“Following the mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut last month, Seattle raised $120,000 to hold the first gun buyback effort in 20 years at a downtown parking lot on Saturday. The plan was to trade gift cards for guns that would later be destroyed, but a number of dealers set up a mini-gun show just a block away in a effort to buy up the guns and keep them in circulation. ‘I pay cash, I don’t give Amazon gift cards,’ one dealer told a gun seller in video captured by KING. ‘It’s a historical firearm, I would hate to see it get destroyed,’ a buyer remarked to another gun owner. ‘I’ll give you $100 cash for it.'”
