Buybacks have mainly been used against illegal firearms. That's a start, but they offer one price for any weapon. People were turning in junk, and guns they wanted to get rid of. Are you sure the money wasn't used for newer, better guns from the people who shouldn't have them?JayZee's core contention is that the problem is THERE ARE TOO MANY GUNS. Let's stipulate that's true. What will reduce the numbers SO LOW that terrorists and career criminals won't get them. Look at the Paris theater attackers in a country with strong gun control. They were able to obtain what (the theater attackers, specifically) four weapons? Plus non-gun explosives. Look at the carnage. Why? They had the motive and didn't worry about dying themselves. Obtaining the weapons was almost secondary. |
