Things that make you go “Hmmmmmmmmmmmm…”

According to the Statesman, yesterday’s gun buyback brought in 343 “guns”:

166 handguns, 96 rifles, two assault rifles and 79 shotguns.

I put “guns” in quotes because it is unclear if this figure includes any BB or replica guns collected.

One of the interesting aspects of this, as you may recall, is that the gun buyback supposedly had a $10,000 budget. However, they actually spent $30,000 yesterday, according to the article; somehow, it appears that the Greater Austin Crime Commission was able to pull an additional $20,000 out of their neither regions in a matter of hours. I would very much like to know where that money came from.
