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

Boru

I think most sane firearm owners would give them up for compensation, but just like religion, there are far right firearm nuts who'd think it was the end of the world and become terrorists to try to keep them.

You are an idiot.


Go to a " gun buy back".

See what gets " bought back".

Junk. Unreliable scrap -that' s worth less than the $50 they are paid. Very few are anything a self- respecting criminal would carry. 

You have absolutely no knowledge of the subject, no experience in the field - and yet you run your gob incessantly.

Absolutely, there would be plenty of people who kept their guns.  The reason that this isn't all that worrisome..is that those people are both unlikely to use their gun in the commission of a crime..and have turned down an offer of purchase -for- their guns...indicating that they lack the primary motivation for gun trafficking.    Traffickers compulsively game buybacks, they don't refuse to sell.  

Those people who would sell those guns that are used in the commission of crimes, as our trace data indicates..are exactly the people and guns that buybacks hit.  Cheap used pistols, and criminals who can only afford cheap used pistols.  Trouble is, there's a fucking lot of them (both).

Yeah sure.. Criminals PAY for things.....
