$200 for your guns!

A Harlem, NY church is once again running a program aimed at "getting guns off the street."  It works like this: you bring a gun to the church, they give you $200.  No questions asked.

Hmmm.  Great idea.

What they accomplished was giving criminals (yep, criminals) $200 for a gun that's worth $50.  Hey, maybe they can put that $200 towards the gun they REALLY want.  

Good idea, reverend.  Why not send them off with a vial of crack, too?  Ohhh there's an idea.  Have them bring in their drugs and give them $200 for them?  Why limit this idea to just guns?  Kiddie porn!  Explosives!

Come on.
