On today's radio program, Chris Smith of Gulf Coast Gun, Jeremy Bosso of Escambia Carry, and I discussed last Saturday's so-called "gun buyback" program conducted by the City of Pensacola.

In it, we discussed how Pensacola wasted $10,000 buying junk guns that had a cumulative value of less than $3500. Despite that, Mayor Grover Robinson and Councilman Delarian Wiggins both said it was a success. Well, it wasn't a success. And since Chris, Jeremy, and I were at the event, we have firsthand knowledge of what happened that day. On this radio show, we revealed some shocking facts the news media hasn't told you.

I sold three guns to the city that day. Those fools gave me $450 for three guns worth at most $175. I will be donating all $450 to the NRA which does far more to promote gun safety than Pensacola's "gun buyback" ever will.
