This makes me sick to my stomach. Until now, the Fredericksburg PD has, as far as I know anyway, handled gun issues fairly well.
They are using a loophole to circumvent the law's requirement that guns obtained via gun buy-back programs MUST be offered for sale to licensed dealers before being destroyed. Instead of "buying" them back, a local rich lady is offering to donate money to charity for each gun turned in to be destroyed.
I hope we can make enough noise about this to stop it. VCDL!!

The key phrase in the law reads:
"any program in which individuals are given a thing of value provided by another individual or other entity"
