Yea one more reason we should not get guns back from people.
The only people who would give them back are the good. Then by re distributing them, we have first stolen from good people, and we have now a good chance it gets to criminals.

Ooooo maybe they have put the rifling marks and serial numbers into the database and are selling it and its going to be registered so the people that buy em, if they shoot up a convenience store, they'd get caught ... probably ... or not.

Cool.

Wondered who chose the licensed dealers? I saw a couple of pics one time in one of the buybacks and there were some high dollar S+W's. Rugers, Over and Unders, Brownings etc. I said to myself there's no way I could put those guns to a bandsaw. Its just another dam crooked racket the government is running like the one now. We can buy guns but we cant get ammo. It takes a while for the companies to produce 1.6 billion hollowpoints to shoot us with so production has slowed down on the lines of the pistols and non black gun calibers. How crazy would someone who lives in Chicago have to be to give away a gun. That's like going to the moon with no oxygen.

What we need to do is have a "gun collection drive".
Anyone that shows up @ that drive with a gun, should be educated how important it is that they hold on to their gun. Register it, collect rifle mark for it, and give them the gift certificate and the gun and a box of ammo for their gun. And a plaque with a bar code only a special reader read to hang in their window in their house.
These are the last people who needs to give up their gun.


YOure much more sane than Id thot,, I am impressed.
I Still have a problem with registration. Equating it to cars is not rational, cuz the goobs Need us able to get around, so we can engage in commerce.They dont need us able to defend ourselves.
How odd is it that everyone is always so quick to say how quickly & easily the People would be defeated should there ever be a squabble..
Look how long it takes for our Ohhh so Greeeat & Miiighty military to conquer these little postage stamp sized countries with only a few thousand opponents in them,,

Why do you say that selling them likely puts them in the hands of criminals? I have a few guns. Bought every one of them,, I know lots of people who bought guns,, in fact, I know of No One who bought a gun, who is a criminal,

Hmmm,,, 'atsan intristin thot,,

We now have a bill in Michigan that is CLEARLY very stupid.

It requires parents to lock up their guns.

NRA: ...you see, senate Bill 268, introduced by State Senator Martha Scott (D-2), would undermine a citizen’s right to self-defense by imposing onerous storage requirements on Michigan gun owners, rendering firearms useless in self-defense situations.

SB 268 would require households with children to store their guns in locked boxes or with trigger locks installed. A violation would be punishable as a misdemeanor offense if a juvenile gains access to the firearm.

The bill has been assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee but has not been scheduled for a hearing.

NRA: Please contact the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and let them know this bill is not only unnecessary, it is dangerous.

You hear that?? The NRA says it is dangerous to lock up your guns with young children in the house because you may instantly NEED those guns to protect your young children.

The NRA actually believes it is bad for people with kids to lock their guns up in a safe place, since there is no actual moneygrifting reason for them to oppose laws that tell people with kids to lock their guns up in a safe place.

Gun owners should store a gun in their kids’ room, according to a ‘Home Defense Concepts’ seminar offered at the National Rifle Association’s Annual Meeting, comments that came just days after the fatal shooting of a two-year-old at the hands of her five-year-old brother.

Hard to imagine...

Why the hell would anyone with kids in a house NOT want the darned things locked up? The chances the kids will kill themselves are way far greater than the chance of an intruder. When it comes to taking chances, I'd take the chances on the intruder.

Frankly, I'm surprised the NRA hasn't sponsored legislation requiring gun owners to keep a loaded pistol under every pillow....Because what could possibly go wrong?

Hmm, I guess I do see their point... When the UN comes to take all our guns, a safe isn't going to stop them, our guns must be at the ready locked & loaded at ALL times.

NRA: what kind-of-idiot would keep his gun in a safe where his children cant even get to it??

Heh, guns don't kill people, baseball bats/string cheese/and dangerous minorities kill people. Why does Obama the Mooslim hate our freedumz??!

The guy who set the house on fire and shot the fire fighters that showed up was a criminal. He bought guns at a gun show with a straw buyer.

You wont be so flippant acting as a straw buyer or selling to someone you dont know if your name was going to be on the gun. Worse yet, if the rifling pattern will be traced back to you, that is a huge incentive to keep guns with ownership trail for everyone that owns a gun.

Cool.
