Yeah, they do........?
That's -why- the cheapest guns, junk..even.. are so well represented in trace data. Go take a look, I left the link.
But, as far as the other comment..yeah, we'd end up buying a bunch of junk, too. Otherwise known as components. Which also find their way into crime as reassembled and resold second hand firearms (and even has it's own category in that trace data..people actually build themselves frankenguns that just barely (or don't) work..and then commit crimes with them, lol). We still end up getting alot of functional pistols..so I'm not sure why also biting into the storehouse of potential components for functional guns would be a bad thing?
So what if we get some junk with our merch? 5.7 billion dollars buys alot of merch. You could include a differential pricing scheme for junk, if you wanted..but there's no explicit need to do so. The general reason that they accept junk is to promote the environment of amnesty that these transactions depend on. Some guy has a hot pistol (or a pile of them), he may not actually know whether or not it's (or which among them is) junk..he may test it out, he may not, but the whole thing is alot easier for him if he can just go sell it no questions asked.
There are tons of guns, this makes them easily accessed. If we want to reduce the number of guns, in america...without some crazy scare bullshit confiscation, we're looking at a buyback. Whatever else we do to reduce gun crime, a buyback reenforces by default of access and economics. There will always be someone who can get a gun, if there are fewer guns, and more expensive guns..some portion of people who might otherwise get a gun, simply wont. A gun buyback is the government exerting direct influence on gun trafficking rather than driving it wholly underground. Accepting that people do and will traffic, and making themselves one of the more likely points of terminus for any given piece.
These pieces, not your pieces, are the ones most likely to be used in the commission of a crime..and these people, not people like you, are the most likely to sell their guns..that's already what they do. A buyback isn't even aimed at you, which I figure you'd appreciate? I wouldn't sell any of my guns either....but I probably would dump some junk on em (even at a reduced price).
What does Wall do, again, for the same price?
