Gun buyback a STUPID idea

All over the country counties and cities are offering money for guns. What criminal would sell their gun to the city for a gift card worth less than the gun is worth? A criminal would just sell it to another criminal for twice what the City would offer.

Here's the problem, criminals want and use guns on a regular basis. Regular folks, the people who need protection from criminals, are the ones who need to keep their guns. So, how does it make sense to get people to sell their guns? IT DOESN'T. Why would you ask the people to take their guns out of their own hands? Why would you leave them defenseless to people who willingly use guns to kill?

Not clear enough for you?

Criminals don't sell back guns, regular people do. They get that little sense of goodness inside them and say "Hey I can make a difference for some good!" and they go down to the police station and get 100 bucks for their 9mm then guess who has a gun and who doesn't? The criminals have the guns and the regular folks have a 100 dollar gift card. Regular people are the ones who want to do better, who want things to be better but THEY AREN'T THE ONES SHOOTING PEOPLE. That's absurd.

Still haven't figured it out?

Then you are a moron.
