What are the chances that a buyback programme in the US would be successful?

Boru

Buyback???

LOL

That' s what they call giving you $50 for a weapon which you paid $2500 to buy.


Suuuure ...

That's fair.



And before you say " if you can prove you paid more" - do you keep receipts for EVERYTHING you ever bought???


Normal people don't.

5.7 billion dollars worth of funding for a buyback program would get a hell of alot of guns off the street...and, you know, gun owners widely correlating with trumps base..they could probably use the cash.  Filthy poors.

Just did the math, because I was bored.   Florida, a state with high numbers, had 21k recoveries in the latest year for which a report was released, 2017.

Of those, 13k were pistols.  If we wanted to focus a buyback on the most prevalent type of firearm recovered, and purchase every single one of them..and every state posted stats as big as floridas...and we paid $200 for every pistol, no questions asked, lol.....

........the program could be funded in all 50 states for four years, potentially hoovering up the two and half million or so firearms most likely to ever be used in the commission of a crime.  They may find some other gun, but it will be a more expensive gun, pricing alot of folks right out of gun crime (lol..ikr...but it's a thing?) - or they may decide to commit the crime without a gun...but that would be a victory in and of itself.

$200 for a pistol?


I have ONE I paid that little for. ( awesome deal from neighbor).

Most every handgun I own cost 3 - 4 times that.

And I don' t go for the expensive shit....

Well I am for bans on certain models, but not on 100% of all firearms, but you don't need battlefield weapons or big clips.

Maybe YOU don't.

But you are not qualified nor are in the position to decide what I need.
