You accept it when its presented as collateral damage when the US Fed govt military does it.

Your arguments are illogical and morally inconsistent.
No I don't
No I didn't.
Your argument is ignorant and factually inconsistent.
We didn't purchase them from the gubmint so they can't "buy em back".
Sure it can.
Forced confiscation won't ever happen in the United States, period. It's against the constitution. But a voluntary gun surrender is perfectly legal, and so is a buy-back.
A buy-back could be the possible savior of our firearms industry, too.
With so many used guns on the market, all of them are having a hard time selling new guns, but a buy-back would allow a gun owner to easily get rid of the guns he doesn't want any more easily and legally, and the money would allow him to buy a new gun he does want.
All the gun makers who haven't gone under are now trying to sell their proven sporting arms much harder than the AR-15 or similar rifles now. Those are the guns that they can still make some profit manufacturing.
When it comes to profit, the .22 offers more potential to the manufacturers than the AR-15. Especially if the .22 is a very high-grade gun. The higher the grade, the more the profit is for them, and fathers will still buy a really good .22 for their sons, but not the AR-15 so much anymore.
We have a higher rate of gun deaths than any other country. Rate, not just total number. Shows you we're doing something wrong here
And yet these same firearms have been available for the last 50 years, and much easier to get. Why now are they a problem ? Seems like something changed, and it isn't the firearms.

Absolutley. It's the people. It's our culture.
We need to do something about that, for sure. That's the most important thing.
However, changing a country's culture takes a looooooong time, I'd assume.
And making mental health facilities accessible to everyone who needs them. Medical treatment available to everyone who needs it. Testing to find out who isn't coming forward but does need it. All HUGE changes that this country will squabble over for years.
Taking away the weapon that can do the most damage in the shortest amount of time while everything else gets fixed seems like a totally logical option.
