AP Spin on Detroit Gun Buyback

Even the Associated Press decided that the Detroit gun buyback was worthy news. A version of the story ran in the Battlecreek Inquirer as well as on WZZM News13’s Web site. Note this clever intro:

“Short of money and have a gun to unload? Detroit police will take the cold, hard steel off your hands for cold, hard cash.”

Filled with puns and clever writing, yes. Filled with facts, no. $20 is hardly cold, hard cash. And anyone short on money would be better served taking the gun to a pawnbroker or gun show. $20 for a firearm is just sad!
