Feinstein explores gun buy back

[compulsivegunbuyer]

I just dont think a forced confiscation is going to go well.

[oldrifle]

I think we as gun owners need to pledge that attempts to confiscate our firearms will be met with force.

[SPUTTER]

Uh Gio, Mexican drug cartels wouldn't pay $5k for a semi auto wanna be assault rifle when they can buy the real thing for a lot less than that.

[Subotai]

40K, sure, I'll sell them all. Why not? I can always get more overhanded or...

[SPUTTER]

A real AK, with selectable fire goes for $5 in some parts of Africa. And numbnuts are paying $2500 for a wannabe semi auto version,lol

Well... I'm glad their spending our money wisely because if it saves just one life... it's worth it.

So life = infinite possible value

Then why can't I protect it?

[myk]

Oh and BTW, where does all this money come from?.........US! So we are going to have money stolen out of our paycheck to pay us to give up firearms?? Ha ha ha ha this has to be the dumbest civilization ever on this planet.

Everyone gets to pay themselves to get rid of their firearms? ha ha ha ha

Lol, now THAT'S sig-worthy right there...

[jshoebot]

Sorry, but my rifle is what guarantees my liberty. The government can't pay enough money for me to become a slave.

[three dogs]

What's the capital gains rate on rifle profits?

[Scratch705]

i'll turn my guns in, for $5 million a gun.

then using all that money, i'll just become one of the politically connected and get guns again skirting the law.

[saki302]

Why the F do they even call it a 'buy back'- it's not like I went down to the Federal gun shop and got issued an AR15.

[rromeo]

I would turn it in for $500, if the money came from DiFi personally.

[FoxTrot87]

Who pays DiFi?

[Marthor]

I'd sell my LCP for a $200 profit and then buy a new one and spend the $200 on more ammo.

The cartels BUY guns??, I thought our government just gave them piles of guns for free.


I don't know how even at even only $500 per gun the gov. could even afford to buy them back. I have heard that CA alone could have as many as a million AR/AK based rifles alone, times $500, that's of course 500 million, then add up what the rest of the country has, let's call it 30 mil, weare now at 15 billion , I mean really? The country is virtually bankrupt as it is, and it's just going to try and 1. Violate out constitutional rights, and 2. Come up with 15 bil to buy back guns that will have zero effect on crime.

DiFi and many of the other ultra anti politicians have truly gone insane, in what world does this make even the slightest amount of sense?
