Why It Doesn't Work

We're talking about gun buybacks, and why they don't work. first off, criminals don't sell their tools of work. Some will sell old, unusable guns to get money to buy newer guns in better shape. Another reason is that the people who DO sell their guns to politically motivated buyers have no idea what those guns are worth. One .22 rifle turned in was worth five times what the seller got for it, and probably ended up in some cop's gun collection by use of simple sleight-of-hand in inventorying the guns. The basic theory in these gun buybacks is that "removing guns from the street" gets rid of "gun violence" has failed to create ANY evidence that it does. Criminals always get more guns, as many as they need to use in victimizing the law-abiding. The gun buyback simply makes politicians feel better, while reducing "gun violence" not at all. But, as with most anti-gun fool ideas, they keep trying it, over and over, while the DEFINITION of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. (All Outdoor)
