In a big push to get guns off the streets in Los Angeles, a city program ran events with the LAPD in Mission Hills and Elysian Park on Saturday to buy back weapons with no questions asked. The program, sponsored by Mayor Eric Garcetti's Office of Gang Reduction and Youth Development, allows anyone to surrender firearms anonymously in exchange for gift cards. The cards are valued at $100 for handguns, shotguns and rifles and $200 for firearms classified as assault weapons in California.

How many times does it have to be said?
YOU CAN'T BUY BACK WHAT YOU NEVER OWNED IN THE FIRST PLACE. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
