Food for guns trade worked in LA. How much chicken can you buy for a rocket launcher?

Military Rifle
The Los Angeles Police Department offered for one day only a buyback program. Turn in a gun, get a grocery store gift card. According to Atlantic, the final numbers were 2,037 firearms, including 75 assault weapons and two anti-tank rocket launchers. No questions were asked, simply turn over the weapon.

Handguns, shotguns and rifles were worth $100 gift card. California classified assault weapons up to $200.

Hmmm, just might work here, especially with how many families are going hungry in the greater Pensacola area.
