Trade Your Gun for Walmart Gift Card

FoxNews.com is reporting that a group of ministers in South Carolina will be offering gift cards in exchange for any gun turned in. While we hate to see these happen, there is a twist:
“Participants are asked to put the weapons in their trunks and Colleton County deputies will collect them. The officers will make sure the guns still work and determine the value of the weapon. The owner will be given a gift card in that amount.”
So the guns need to work? If the intent is to get guns off the street, we ask why needing to work is the issue? Also, we would question the issue of “value,” as in will it be fair value? But at least in these cases it is possible that those handing in their guns will get more than $25. At least we can hope.
