13. I don't have no problems with gun buy backs. If the organization wants to fork over a $200

card for a $50 firearm thats their business. A lot of people find these buybacks to be a joke because they purchase firearms that do not function, or pay $25 for magazines that people turn around and buy 3 of them for the same price.

As far as "smart guns" there would not be so much push back if the State of New Jersey got rid of its ridiculous law. In that State they have a law that states that once a "smart gun" is available to the public then all handguns must have that technology within 3 years. So it effects everybody's business if they are in the market for a handgun and don't want the "smart gun" technology.
