I certainly don't think so. History of instability, and strong tendency towards violence. I say to the feds, nah. No weapons for you.

We already have a Federal requirement for background checks. The vast majority of guns are bought at gun stores where a background check is required.

What does "buy back" mean?

It implies they sold the weapons in the first place! It's a con job!

Let’s not sugarcoat it. Confiscation is what they propose.


They did a buy back here in Phoenix several years ago. I believe you got a $50- $200 Walmart gift card for any gun, working or not. Law enforcement then resold the functioning guns back to the public at a higher cost to fund their department . Lol

They ain’t buying back a god damn thing, they didn’t sell it to me nor do they have money to buy anything without taking it from me in the first place.

How can they "buy back" , something that isn't for sale and something that wasn't theirs in the first place ?

Do you gun-worshippers sleep with your guns at night? Are you still waiting for Obama to come take them away??
