Gun buyback programs are often advertised as a way to get dangerous guns off the street. But we went through hundreds of weapons turned in as part of local buybacks to see if those events truly have an impact on violent crime.
Staring down the barrel of a gun is the last thing 31,000 Americans see each year before they take their last breath. It is their last image as the power of a gun is harnessed to take a life.
But those lives don’t have to be lost. Experts say many gun deaths can be prevented if we pull those weapons out of homes where they could be used by accident or out of hands that plan to use them for harm on purpose.
Neither is having reporters that don't know that a revolver is a pistol. "In the nearly 1,000 guns we found turned in during the Baltimore and Howard County buybacks, only 15 percent were pistols, the weapon used overwhelmingly in city homicides. Those buybacks also turned up nearly 400 revolvers and more than 300 rifles and shotguns."
Anybody see the Sig Sauer M400 pistol? sweet..it is next on my list of must haves--and no way in heck will I "sell back" any of my firearms...criminals don't sell them back--they use them in their "line of work". Duh. Just like law abiding gun owners are the ones that follow gun laws--the criminals don't because--hang on to your hats liberals--they are criminals!

ReplyDeleteThey turned the prison system into a joke and the police cannot go out and kick ass so nobody is afraid to break the law.
