I took both pictures at ground zero on November 11, 2004. A bit over three years after the attack, and the whole area was still in shambles. The feeling was (and I’m sure still is) very eerie there. Around the entire perimeter every so often there were groups of tactical looking NYPD officers with rifles (AR-15 pattern.. but could have been M4’s, I’m not sure) and German shepherds that were all business.

And I thought getting $100 for a gun at the normal gun buybacks was a bad deal! Those better be some damn good hoagies.
I’d really like to know the success of this program.
On a side note, it would be an ironic twist if someone were to die of food poisoning or something from one of the hoagies. I bet the antis would still try and blame the guns somehow.
