I have always heard about buyback programs and how many guns they net. I saw this yesterday and I thought wow I wonder what kind of deals some of these gun enthusiasts got outside!

Reading the stories about some who bought "junk guns" to then turn them in to get more money to buy a good one had me thinking. Let alone the ones who brought in fake guns. Are these programs really meeting their aim?

Probably not, sir. The gun buyback programs are likely not meeting their aim. Not hitting the target. Crime continues in spite of gun buyback programs. Bad guys who want guns are either (a) not going to turn them in or (b) going to buy them when they "need" them.

The best explanation for why I voted "No" to this question was posted by someone else: Disarming yourself to prevent crime is like wearing a condom so that your neighbors will stop having kids. (Or some such words) It's pure lunacy.

Now arm yourself so you're ready the next time one of your moral superiors advocates gun control. Watch this..
