Dave, I too wish I lived closer. I'd pull out some cash savings, go to Seattle, and intercept some of those people with guns to "sell". Awesome opportunity.
This is old. This is the 'buy back' that turned into a gun show when the SPD ran out of gift cards. More guns were bought by enthusiasts than were traded for gift cards. :) http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2013/01/seattle-gun-buyback-gets-jacked-turns.html
I suppose one could head to Seattle with some junk guns and pay for a nice little vacation.
This raises an interesting question... is it legal for SPD to "buy back" firearms owned by someone from another state w/o an FFL being involved? And nd even if SPD can do it, wouldn't the individual be violating federal law? I believe (but am not certain) that a law enforcement agency can buy firearms directly from a manufacturer or dealer across state lines w/o involving an FFL in their state, but buying firearms from private citizens would seem to be another matter.
Perhaps this is a commercial opperation in which Amazon has thought of an inovative way to stock up on secondhand firearms which they can then on-sell at enormous mark-up in these difficult times?

To bad it was a bit over halfway across the country, or I could've found out how many $100 zip guns they were willing to buy.

I think I'll turn in my brand new Rock River LAR-15 for an spiffy $100 gift card.
SUCH A DEAL!
Sounds like gun owners need to let Amazon know that doing this just cost them customers.

Too late, Anon@8:03, they've already lost this customer!
Will they accept "printed" rifles? Sounds like a money making opportunity. Otherwise, what fool would turn over any useable firearm for $100?
Email sent to Amazon. No more money from me.
