[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got rid of our ARs and hand guns years ago, when we had children. We had them locked in a gun safe and only took them to the range. I still didn’t want them in the house once our kids were born. That was 15 years ago.  We were responsible gun owners and I can tell you for sure, we were not the problem. We would have complied with any law at any time. If they were outlawed, we would have turned them in. A buy back program would not have been an incentive since we don’t need the money.

I can also tell you that people who actually have guns to commit crimes would not be enticed by a voluntary buy back of purchase price plus inflation. I think stricter gun laws are needed but also stricter discipline in schools and more consequences for crimes all around. And of course, addressing mental health.  We know banning things and making laws do not automatically stop murder. [/quote]

I think there are many reasonable gun owners like yourselves.

Buy back cash would be a "nudge" in some cases (not yours) and for fairness  - perhaps also should be an option to donate it  with extra matching to families of victims of assault weapons.

Assault weapon ban won't be a total fix - but it is the least we must do[/quote]

Buybacks won’t get all guns off the streets but they will help.

There isn’t just a single fix to reduce gun violence. We need to address multiple aspects - universal background checks, assault weapons, giving LEOs tools to trace illegal sales, buybacks, mental health/healthcare, etc.

[b]I think we also need to eliminate first person shooter games. Many of these killers get their start in Call of Duty. Or similar. [/b]

yes! this  is why we didn't worry about shootings growing up in the 80s.  someone would punch you in the face, maybe.  since these games were created...and the movies like this...shootings are up. they want to experience it for themselves.[/quote]
