Otherwise we'd have the same old problem with the same guns instead of new ones.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-49465547619601831012010-12-23T18:33:27.341+01:002010-12-23T18:33:27.341+01:00Mike: “It's worth whatever public expense is i...Mike: “It's worth whatever public expense is involved.”<br /><br />Auction the turned in guns through FFLs and the NICS to fund the next “buy back”. Then use that public expense for our schools and social programs to keep kids out of gangs. Doesn’t that sound better? Plus you wouldn’t be feeding the firearms industry to replace the guns that were melted, and it is better for the environment.

I always picture a young boy being raise by his grandma. As the kid gets older she wants to get rid of the gun that's been in the closet for decades. Lives are saved.

Thus, it's a great way to dispose of a crime gun, or even a lawful gun owner's stolen property.<br /><br />I also have to caveat my previous statement, because I'm against them if public funds are being used for the buyback part. As pretty much all they do is get rid of crime guns, stolen weapons, and granny's deceased husband's shotgun from the back of the closet, I don't think they do squat to affect the crime rate. Therefore, I don't want my tax dollars going to such a wasted effort.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410036643192254380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-24743648400916352692010-12-22T17:34:52.284+01:002010-12-22T17:34:52.284+01:00I don't get the destroying thing.

But he did roll out the tired old canard, "If we can prevent one gun being used in a crime..."<br /><br />These things are mainly for people to get rid of guns that they don't need so that hopefully no teenager or burglar can get their hands on a gun. Still, there is a certain beauty in seeing them go to the scrap heap. There is a famous old B&W photo of one of the first gun buybacks in Chicago. I just love it. The tough as nails police chief.
