Only Monday, and we already have our "well, duh" moment of the week:
Oakland's recent gun buyback was especially ridiculous. The police offered up to $250 for a gun "no questions asked, no ID required." The first people in line? Two gun dealers from Reno with 60 cheap handguns. Fortunately the buyback did manage to get some guns off the street, too bad they were turned in by a bunch of senior citizens from an assisted living facility. Whew, the streets are safe at last.

Geez Wally, Howz come the crackheads and the gang bangers don't turn 'em in too?
Don't be such a lunkhead Beav, they're the BAD guys, why would they turn in their guns?
LOL, Tim...!
Now I KNOW we're of the same generation!
On the east coast they tried the same thing...with the same predictable results (never saw SO many broken, rusty cap guns in all my life).
Yeah, we can't all those seniors rolling up to us in wheelchairs, guns drawn, ready for some "quick meds money"...can we?
