I am not a lawyer. My answers are based on research, knowledge, and are generally backed up with facts, the Ohio Revised Code, or the United States Code.
I do not like to make generalizations. But... Have not heard of anything good that comes out of a few of our 50 states. Illinios is #1, but New Jersey is a close second. I would love to have trace data on those buy-back fire arms.

Think what that rifle could do if it were loaded with ammunition.
Must have a bayonet on it, like the Chinese SKS, and spike bayonet I Own. Imported as is without bayonet 922r does not apply. Apparently if I attach the bayonet to my Chinese SKS, suddenly 922r kicks in and the firearm becomes super deadlier (and can probably pierce body armor), unless I change out a bunch of original parts for US made parts to get the foreign part count down, then it can become 922r compliant and safe again .. what an idiotic law.

Overall, the State expended $481,620 in forfeiture monies on the buybacks.
I couldn't find anything though that would make the number of firearms traded in equal. So, they are doing some odd math on that.
From their facebook post, the numbers are skewed by:
Thanks for reaching out! The remaining 506 weapons were pellet guns, BB guns, military grade weapons, etc. that were collected on site.

One of the A2 patterned rifles has the safety in the third position. Could be a number of reasons for that but I'd be curious if it really has a FA or 3RB trigger group. Could just be a jacked up build too.

"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom? Congress shall have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American ... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the People."
