Police Host a Gun Show

Not really, but that's how it turned out. In Seattle,WA, police held a "gun buyback" - offering $100 for handguns, shotguns, and rifles; and $200 for "assault weapons."

Local gun enthusiasts parked near the entry points, and offered more reasonable amounts for guns they desired. Local passersby also offered amounts for desired guns, probably both from the gun enthusiasts as well as those selling.

The police were offering gift certificates,the supply of  which was exhausted by 11 am, prompting those selling the guns to turn back to the enthusiasts in an attempt to make a cash trade.

Funny part: at the end of the article, the quote: "Now the only question is, when will the Seattle Police department stage the next gun show?"
