So, even if one wanted to take advantage of this misguided offering, the value isn\u2019t really there.&nbsp; (Of course, maybe someone has an old, heavily used rifle they can give him in exchange for a donation to the Second Amendment Foundation or the NRA.&nbsp; LOL.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith said that he is only going to do this once but he does hope that others in the community follow suit.&nbsp; But if not, he\u2019s not too worried about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just my own personal journey to do something that I could do, that I thought was right,&#8221; he told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.krem.com\/article\/news\/local\/latah-county\/north-idaho-resident-proposes-one-man-gun-buyback-program\/293-99f9c10d-968a-4e2a-bb87-6f6dee8171cd\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"retired-teacher-destroy-ar-donate-charity\" title=\"Retired Teacher Will Destroy Your AR and Donate $500 to a Charity of Your Choice\">KREM2<\/a>. &#8220;And if everybody else doesn&#8217;t sign up for that, that&#8217;s great.
