Might be some hyperbole here. Judging from the grips (as well as I can see), I can't say all of the guns are actual firearms. I have seen this in the past, BB-guns included as handguns, toy guns in the pile.
Photographs from a Rockford Il buyback prominently displayed a broken Daisy spring action pellet gun vaguely shaped like a 1911 colt and a co2 cylinder powered revolver styled pellet gun (you could clearly see the cylinder locking screw in the handle and the narrow pellet holding cylinder at the front of the fake cylinder.
I'm not the only one who sees this crap. When someone tries to sell ruined, toy , or pellet guns at a buy back it needs full disclosure. Accurately report firearms stories. Any/all chance/s to discredit will be exploited by the NRA.
