Gun Owners, Activists Counter WV ‘Buyback’ by Shepherdstown Church

By Dave Workman
When the Presbyterian church in Shepherdstown, West Virginia staged a “gun buyback” event over the weekend at a local fire station, a group of Second Amendment activists organized by Chris Anders, chairman of the West Virginia Freedom Caucus and a state delegate representing the 97th District, countered with cash.

The church group was offering gift cards–$50 for handguns, $100 for rifles and shotguns, and $200 for “certain semi-automatic rifles”—but the Anders group was offering cash. Anders, speaking to TGM via telephone Monday, said his group “saved several guns; gave them good homes.”

Anders had coordinated with the owner of DS Gunworks and local volunteers. He estimated about 40 people showed up to save guns from destruction. It apparently upset someone on the church group, because local law enforcement was called.

However, according to Lootpress, it was quickly determined that what the gun group was doing was perfectly legal in West Virginia.

In a prepared statement about the event, Anders explained, “While anti-gun activists were trading property for gift cards and cutting up firearms on site, we stood right beside them and offered something better… freedom and fair value…In West Virginia, we stand with the 2nd Amendment, and gun grabbers can take their antics elsewhere.”

He told TGM that “cutting up guns is not a West Virginia thing.”

Nearly as much fun as cashing in on an empty olive-drab tube with scary yellow alpha-numerics printed on it.

It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
