LAPD Gun Buybacks to be Crashed by Pro-Firearms Group
A Second Amendment rights group called Sons of Liberty LA says it plans to protest and intervene during the city of Los Angeles' annual gun buyback program this weekend. The city plans to offer up to $200 in gift cards for weapons turned into cops at six locations across the city Saturday.
Sounding radical and maybe even a little scary, the group states:
The City/Regime wants to condition the public to the idea that they are safer if they are defenseless, disarmed. This is a fraud. It needs to be exposed so that people, especially women will have and use the best means available to defend themselves, that usually means a firearm.
Uh, yeah, so a statement sent to the Weekly from Sons' rep Bruce Boyer says the group's attorney yesterday filed a request for a protective order from the city in federal court that would allow its members to attend the buybacks without police harassment.
Boyer says at least two members of Sons of Liberty LA, along with an attorney and a videographer, will be at each site: They will attempt to steer folks with guns in their trunks (regular handguns and rifles get $100 gift cards; assault-type weapons get $200) to gun stores where he suggests they might get much more.

I don't get it...If the "Sons of Liberty" just want to get in on the action of buying used guns for bottom dollar, why not just organize their own official buyback?
