Police Department’s Buyback Offered Gas Gift Cards In Exchange For…

Amidst skyrocketing gas costs, the Sacramento Police Department held a firearm buyback program that provided $50 gas cards in exchange for guns. The department remarked in a tweet that it depleted its entire supply of gift cards. The situation gives the very cynical appearance that the Sacramento authorities have leveraged the energy crisis created by the Biden regime to disarm Americans.

“Due to overwhelming response, we have exhausted our supply of gift cards for today’s gun exchange,” the department tweeted. “We will still be accepting firearms but unfortunately we will not be providing gift cards from this point on. This event will be ending one hour early and will run until 4 p.m.”

The Sacramento Police department reported that 134 weapons were turned over throughout the buyback event.

“The event provided a safe and efficient process for community members to turn in unwanted firearms to the Sacramento Police Department with no questions asked and no identification required,” a press release noted. “Over 100 members of the community responded to Saturday’s event which was staffed by Sacramento Police Department officers and community partners who facilitated the safe exchange of firearms for $50 gas gift cards.

“Among other reasons, community members most commonly cited a lack of experience or knowledge with firearms, lack of knowledge of the legality of the firearms, or an inability to safely store the firearms as the main reasons for participating in the exchange,” the release continued. “Among the firearms received was at least one assault weapon, numerous components for privately manufactured firearms (ghost guns), and multiple other illegally configured firearms.”

Americans have actually been feeling the pinch at the gas pump. The AAA nationwide typical rate for a gallon of routine gas has actually reached $4.596. That figure is overshadowed by the AAA California average, which has actually reached a shocking $6.069 per gallon.

A recent AP-NORC poll of voting-age adults found that 44% believed high gas costs are more the effect of President Joe Biden’s policies, while 56% believed the rates are more due to concerns beyond the president’s control.

Of course, gas prices impact every other sector of the economy, and “The all items index increased 8.3 percent for the 12 months ending April, a smaller increase than the 8.5-percent figure for the period ending in March,” the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics noted in a consumer price index report released earlier this month.”
