I scanned it, hence my second post. I know very well what these stupid programs do, and as I and others pointed out there's a strong chance people are stealing guns just to turn them in.
here ya go Nate:
Peter Buxtun, a 70-year-old gun advocate, turned in two pistols Saturday that he said were worthless. He collected $300 in gift cards.
"You can buy junk guns for $10 and then use the gift cards to buy new guns," he said. "I saw a half-dozen uniformed SF police officers taken off the street to sit for hours in a City Hall photo-op, instead of patrolling certain drug-ridden and gang-infested neighborhoods."
not exactly the same thing, but it dies show the idea is floating, even in a 70 year old man.
