I hope he does

Would actually work. It should be step 1: $200 a gun. It would probably net 10 million guns in 6 months.

Her $900k on polling did not poll this

Second of all, she doesn't mean it. It's just rhetoric to get her the nomination.

Once she is the nominee, you will never again hear the words "gun control" from her mouth. She'll be back to Annie Oakley Clinton, making her pitch to hard working white Americans.

till her pollster tells her to change

It can be a good idea.

It should be up to you to link to where you found the facts for the statement I think you pulled out of a dark place. How many were turned in? How many are in the state? Were they operational? How much did it cost per firearm? How many rifles and how many pistols? Did anybody get charged for a crime for stolen or weapons used in a crime?

I am not obligated to give you any information. I know that it worked well in WA. And there has been talk of doing it again due to the success.

If you truly were interested, you could find out the information. If you just want to be snarky, you will continue your pattern of behavior.

Have a good night. Quack.

Are they only happy when the populace has more guns than they presently do?

I like gun buybacks.

The only person who has ever been willing to overpay for a rusted out gun that hasn't fired in 20 years is the government.

I've got a few old guns in my safe, I'm just waiting for a buy back so I can get rid of them. I got 300 dollars that I put towards a new glock at the last buy back.

I have a broken 99 dollar Chinese pistol that is worth about 10 bucks. I will gladly turn it in so I can get a better one.

The Australia program was not it was mandatory and was confiscation. I do not agree with that. Have all of the voluntary ones you want.

I think it has some highly racist and classist motivation based on some types of people should be able to have guns but other should not. They can't actually get a way with making a law that says that, but this is a way to create a similar result by paying the poor to give up their guns.

She said an Australian style buyback was worth considering. The problem is that the Australian buyback was MANDATORY!!!!!!!!

Does she remember just two years ago (after Sandy Hook) that Colorado RECALLED their legislatures over gun control measures that were MUCH tamer than mandatory buybacks. And remember Colorado is a swing state that she needs in the general election!
It's not just Colorado, a lot of the swing states are rural, hunting States that gun control will not stand. I am already hearing rumblings in mid Wisconsin where I live.

When people on this site get yelled at for repeating that mantra "they want to take your guns" it isn't paranoia any more. In this case "SHE WANTS TO TAKE YOUR GUNS!!!!"

Growing up in Red America alongside some very pro gun friends who inherited their love of the military and hunting from their families has shown me that guns can be a deep part of a person's identity and belief system.

They have been taught to think and followingly deeply believe that the ultimate goal of the left is to take all their guns away for a variety of reasons. They see any attempt at even they will admit sensible gun legislation as just the start of a slippery slope toward that perceived goal.

Thus they dont want to give one inch. Not one. Even if the legislation makes sense to them. They just dont trust their perceived intentions of the left.

I personally strongly believe we need a national licensure system so that to own a gun you must have an active gun owning license and that all guns must have a national registration ID number. Every gun must be linked to a licensed owner and if not so linked it must be destroyed. The collection and destruction of such weapon could be done with a variety of means. Addtionally munition and reloading supplies should be only sold to licensed individuals.

With that said I do believe in the 2nd Amendement for what it is meant for, a well regulated militia and the licensure and registration is a part of that well regulation.

P.S. In accord with what I said above I would agree with a buy back system.

as the most powerful ones with regard to this issue. The urban/rural divide will only grow unless rural voters suddenly embrace the reality of the situation.

Wyoming has the same number of votes as NY when it comes to gun control.

And the cultural divide is huge. Huge. Proba ly one of the top ten cultural problems in America. I
We are truly a house divided.
