Guns for gift cards in Chester
So the question I have is, under what authority/law are the cops allowed to purchase these guns? This after all is a purchase is it not since they are giving a gift card worth $100?
Would there not have to be an FFL/Sheriff onsite to complete the transfer? And who would handle this violation of the UFA? The ATF, DA etc?

Chester will hold a gun exchange on Saturday, the mayor's office announced.
In exchange for a weapon during the "Goods for Guns" program, participants will receive $100 ShopRite supermarket gift card, that can be used at the Eddystone location. Those who turn over an assault weapon will receive additional money. There is a two-gun limit for the gift cards.
The weapons will be collected between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at either of the Chester firehouses, located at 320 E. 14th St. and 1501 W. Third St.
Last year, close to 300 guns were exchanged in a similar program, the mayor's office said.

If it is a handgun though there are no private person to person sales in PA, so you would need and FFL, but it would be neat to offer someone more money for a gun. They get more money. You save the state the giftcard and you get a nicer gun.

I wonder how many rapists or kidnappers have been stopped with a gift card.
