They are awful and do nothing except waste taxpayer money. If you want to really want to get rid of a gun, you get much more for your money by selling it to a gun store. It can also lead to the destruction of historically interesting guns. Luckily, in this respect, some states such as Arizona which prohibits the state and local governments from destroying firearms. So we they don't do "buybacks" here anymore.
