I’d think a gun buyback would work

[Anonymous]

Wouldn't that take the money and go buy new guns?

Correction: Wouldn't THEY take the money and go buy new guns?

You're never going to get guns out of the hand of law abiding citizens.

There’s a very simple solution to that - make all guns illegal. Then gun nutters would cease to be law-abiding. Change the law so owning a gun is a criminal offense, then crack down on the criminals that get created when they don’t disarm.

We don’t need to change the constitution. All that required is simply to ignore the USSC, which has become a political body rather than a high court. So they have forfeited their credibility. Ignore them. They’ve made their rulings - Heller, McDonald, Bruen…now let’s see them enforce it.

They can’t.

Cuckoo!

Not really.

The Supreme Court has no enforcement agency. The only thing that gives it any authority is the mutual consent of everyone to abide by their rulings, whether they agree with them or not. Take away that consent, and they’re a quaint but irrelevant anachronism.

If we simply make the public consensus decision as a majority of the country to simply ignore the court when it comes to unpopular rulings, we don’t have to be blinded by decisions that let everyone have a gun. Local and state law enforcement can act as they wish and not be constrained or limited by court decisions.


It’s a very cutting edge idea, and it will pick up momentum in the years to come. Once it reaches a tipping point, it will happen very quickly.

You clearly don’t understand this world.

Drug addicts are poor and still find money.

A clean gun is also worth less than $500 on the street and buy backs pay less than that, and in the form of gift cards (groceries).

Buy backs measure performance on how many they buy. Not reduction in crime because as it turns out guns are just a tool and not the root cause of the problem.

DC periodically has buy backs. Doesn’t matter.

There’s also no correlation or causation on guns and crime because again that isn’t the problem. On our block, most of the block is armed. We haven’t killed each other. Crime is zero.

Bribing criminals? No thanks.
