A Better Solution

What sets us apart

Our mission is to permanently end inefficient government gun buyback programs so taxpayer dollars can be spent on real community needs—roads, schools, and infrastructure—not wasted on a scheme that destroys valuable history in exchange for Applebee's gift cards. We believe in smarter solutions that respect both responsible gun owners and the communities they live in.

Every transaction is handled by federally licensed professionals, ensuring safe, legal, and easy firearm transfers year-round—not just during limited-time events.

Why Traditional Gun Buyback
Programs Fail

Government-run gun buyback events are fundamentally flawed, offering a false sense of impact while wasting taxpayer money.

Insultingly Low Payouts: Your firearm could be worth hundreds or even thousands—money you could actually use. Instead, buybacks offer flat-rate gift cards that often don't come close to fair value.

Inaccessible & Unreliable: Buybacks are rare, unpredictable, and unlikely to be available when you need them. If you have a gun to sell today, there’s almost no chance a buyback is an option.

Long Lines, Wasted Time: Even if you find an event, expect hours of waiting with no guarantee they won’t run out of cash before your turn.

Out of Money, Out of Luck: Most buybacks run on small budgets and shut down early when funds dry up—often leaving people empty-handed after waiting in line.

Tax Dollars Down the Drain: These programs waste public funds that could go toward real community needs like schools, roads, or emergency services.

Many Guns Aren’t Even Destroyed: Despite the claim of "taking guns off the street," buybackprograms often resell or part out firearms instead of destroying them.

Most Guns Aren’t Illegal Anyway: The overwhelming majority of guns turned in are legally owned. If you have an illegal firearm, most police departments already accept voluntary surrenders—no buyback needed.

Fails Its Own Mission: Criminals don't turn in their guns. They're criminals, after all.

Why GunBuyback.org Beats
Traditional Gun Buybacks

Government buybacks are inaccessible, inefficient, and a complete waste of resources. They pop up unpredictably, make you wait in long lines, and hand out insultingly low gift card payouts for firearms that could be worth thousands. Worse, they burn taxpayer dollars on programs that fail to accomplish anything meaningful.

GunBuyback.org offers a real solution: a safe, legal, and private way to sell your firearm from the comfort of your home—no waiting in line, no lowball offers, and no wasted time.
