Brandon Herrera, a firearm social media personality with more than 3 million
subscribers on YouTube, visited San Antonio's first-ever gun buyback event last Sunday. He offered a more generous offer for those looking to dispose of their firearms: cash instead of the city's gift cards to supermarket chain H-E-B.
The city offered people $300 for semi-automatic rifles, $200 for handguns, $150 for a rifle or shotgun, and $50 for a malfunctioning or homemade gun. However, the gift cards were limited only to groceries at H-E-B.
Herrera published a video on his YouTube page that showed him and friends holding signs that read, "Licensed Gun Dealer ... $$$ CASH $$$ ... 4 Guns."
