    This buyback caught my eye.
    For every gun they receive, the church will hand out $100 grocery store gift cards, and participants will receive a $25 gift card in exchange for accessories such as bump stocks or large-capacity magazines.
    At that price level, they're flirting with making it possible to profit off gun buybacks. Just checking the first page of Indiana brick-and-mortar gun stores that shows up on Google turns up stripped lowers for $49.95 and "large-capacity magazines" for $11.46.

    Assuming the cards are from places people actually use, at these price levels it becomes profitable to buy things just to turn them in.

    Are there any Indianans here who could clue me in on where my logic has failed? Is there some long waiting period or other legal impediment to just buying cases of lowers and turning them into truckloads of groceries? Normally I would assume the church would limit the number of buybacks per person but since they're not spending their own money:
    The Wabash Avenue Presbyterian Church is backing the buyback with grant money the church received for community involvement.
    ...then perhaps they won't be so prudent.

    I must be missing something, right?

    They can't "buyback" something they never owned.

    If they're stupid enough to give ya $25 for a standard capacity magazine that you can get for $11 then they're morons. Only a fool would give them a bump stock for $25.

    They might be smart enough to not accept stripped lowers as a firearm. Most non-gun people wouldn't know a stripped lower if it bit them in the ass.
