With leaders like these we are destine to fail. Gun buybacks are proving so popular that U.S. Rep. Gerald Connolly, D-Va., and Ted Deutch, D-Fla., have asked Congress to set aside $200 million for gun buyback programs, saying that amount could remove “one million guns from our streets.” But critics say buybacks are a fruitless exercise – more political theater than effective policy. “It’s like trying to drain the Pacific with a bucket,” Alex Tabarrock of the conservative Independent Institute told USA Today in 2008. There are an estimated 310 million guns in the U.S. -- about one for every U.S. resident.
More of the same expecting different results. The folks that have brains work in the private sector and leave the politics to the imbiciles. Some of them may be "book smart", but none of them have enough commons sense to come in out of the rain. It wasnt always like this. Too bad.
So with 310 million guns, and the government planning on buying back 1 million, that equals roughly .003% of all weapons. Hell the city of Detroit has 1.5 million guns ALONE. This is a joke right?
Typical Democrat Mentality. Spend money taking away the objects used in violence instead of putting the money into Mental Health Programs. Gun Laws did not stop Columbine and Chicago is one murder away from 500 with the strictest laws in the land.
This is proven by the fact we have almost twice as many gun suicides as we do gun murders. Might be time to address the real issues in this country. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
They have a gun buyback program next week in the town I live in. I'm actually thinking about bringing in my old non functional muzzleloader to get the $$$. I fully intend to use the $$$ to pay for my NRA membership for 2013.
They are also too ignorant to realize these are the weapons they are getting off the streets. The ones no one wants Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I wish there was a gun buy back near me. Great place to go and try to score something new. Offer $300 and that guy would be dumb to wait inthat line and sell it for $200
It's not all mental health though...society raises our young generations to be lazy/lack of respect/no accountability or respect for life. Another big factor no one wants to admit.
It's hard to teach your kids those things when there's people that have no business being parents and pawn the responsibility of raising kids off to someone else. Seems like a lot of people want kids but not the responsibility.
Amen bud! There are good parents out there and good kids, but society in general is creating bad kids and bad parents.
