gun buy backs by the government are a good idea?

 

[voyager]

I got a couple of old gunz I'm afraid to fire modern ammo out of that I'll let go if the price is right. I could put that money down on a kick ass assault rifle.

I don't see a problem with it. If people want to get rid of their guns and get money for them, so be it.

Other than it being a waste of tax dollars.

Each shooting uses police and emergency resources, even accidental shootings, plus uses healthcare. So there is a cost to guns. Buying them back seems like a good safety measure.

I don't know what the best idea is but that doesn't seem to be a bad idea.

 

[sensible don]

I ask many times, what happens to all these guns when the older generation, who cherish them, pass away. Do they rust away, does the ammo become unstable? Many gen z/ millennial kids can't even change their own oil in car, but they will be expected to field strip a weapon and oil it, clean a barrel and bolt ? lmao

Buy back programs seem a good avenue to go down. I mean do you honestly think the irresponsible, video playing youth ( NRA EXCUSES ) are the exceptional recipients of this firepower and ammo?

 

[freyasman]

Well, I don't believe in providing arms to folks that I have good reason to believe are up to no good. I don't believe in mandating background checks or anything like that, but if someone that I know has a history of dishonest, deceitful, and violent behavior, as well as a depraved attitude towards the welfare of others, wanted me to sell them a gun, I wouldn't do it...... so why would anyone give (or sell) arms to the government?

Beto seems to think so, and he's pretty naive and clueless here:

"No, I don't see law enforcement going door to door," O'Rourke told reporters while at a campaign stop in New Hampshire. "I see Americans complying with the law."

So in Beto's wisdom and view, yes, we Americans will gladly hand our guns over...

and what if people don't?

And, why don't you see "Americans complying with the law" when it comes to illegal immigration, sanctuary cities, etc.???

Mr. O'Rourke???

I'm still perplexed as to how any law can be passed given the 2nd amendment. Even if passed, the SCOTUS would be pretty much obligated to shoot it down, unless if sometime in the future it's filled with Ginsberg-type admitted leftist activists.

I'm perplexed that the same folks who don't want me to rely on my own judgement in deciding who I would sell, loan, or gift a firearm to, think it's perfectly fine to hand them over to folks who did shit like

I don’t recall reading this buyback scope of work in either my national or my state constitutions. Do we now simply invest our government with any authority and scope it wants? Perhaps when revenues are down, the state can choose to simply confiscate without compensation - since ownership of these assets has become retroactively illegal.

Such forfeiture is already common regarding property like boats and automobiles that are operated outside the boundaries of the law.

What sheep!

Government is just organized crime..... I thought all these people were against selling guns to criminals?


Or maybe they just haven't bothered to give it any thought?

Whatever makes the individual weaker, less sovereign, less autonomous, less capable of self-reliance, less independent from the collective...is what is sought. Every time.

If it’s a pooled, collective criminal entity, it’s all good.

Not as many as probably should?

I'm good with the government "buying back" the firearms I want to sell, at the price I want to sell them. So, if I choose to sell, for example, one of my Ruger 10/22s for the price of $35,000, I think the government should have the same chance as any other buyer to purchase it.

If you're talking mandatory "buy backs", then the thugs who show up to collect should expect to get the ammo first.

They're banking on us not be willing to engage in a gun battle with our kids in the house.

No kids, but if it came down to it and I could get out of the house I would want to fight outside and not get my house shot up. Plus Mrs, Voyager is behind the wood stove with an FS92.
