The liberals have a fixed budget for this program and have already burnt up most of it without collecting a single gun from a private individual. At this point in the game it's looking like you will either be sitting on your gun for quite some time through amnesty extensions or end up surrendering it without compensation.

Wow dude, thanks for calling me a “moron.” I’m going to choose to be a little more optimistic but enjoy seething in your little puddle of cynicism. I’ll be sure to throw it in your Face if I get my money.

You don’t get to rub it in their face even if you get your money. The “if” is clear evidence that you also believe you’ve opted into a possible scam. Opting into something so foolish and then just happening to get lucky isn’t some sort of “in your face” moment. It’s just dumb luck.
