Houston is instituting a voluntary buyback. https://abc13.com/houston-gun-buyback-pr.../12082688/ The odds of it reducing mass shootings and suicides... low the odds of it reducing homicides... 0% the odds of it boosting someone's political mechanizations 100%. Now I think I remember in NZ a mandatory buyback happening.... that seemed to reduce gun violence overall. That would bring me to a conclusion that anyone willing to turn over their broken and unwanted guns is much more likely to have the ability to maintain the guns, secure the guns, and not use the guns illegally. Why have voluntary buybacks other than election material?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
