Guns from buy backs are resold by police departments

[Straw Man]

21. Allow me to retort.

Wow, a really popular post. Got lots of responses. Not one responded to the central issue of the OP: that PD's are, at best, implying that all guns given into a buyback program will be taken permanently out of circulation, but are in fact, recycling them back out onto the streets. Maybe some of their promotions are so deceptive they're even legally actionable. I wouldn't know.

Implying? I've never seen a buyback that promised they would do x, y, or z with the guns. People bring their guns to the buyback to get rid of them and get the gift card. People who get outraged over what police are going to do with the guns are generally people who don't own any guns in the first place. But if it irks you so much, perhaps you could retain an attorney and try to sue some police department over the operation of their buyback program. I'm sure that will be helpful to everyone.

The drug thing was satire, which of course you knew. All of you guys have the same strategy: you look for some random thing in a post that you can criticize so you can throw some verbiage against the wall and when you get a response, it's lather, rinse, repeat. And you always have to have the last word, no matter how incoherent and irrelevant that last word is.

Here's a hint: If you want your satire to be effective, your analogies should hold up. And before you accuse others of incoherence and irrelevance, you might want to address some of the actual criticisms of your "satire."
