2. For the most part, the only guns that get handed in are ones that can't be sold otherwise.

Gun prices are through the roof and the makers can't satisfy the demand of guns or ammo. People will only turn in their guns if they get more than the value of the piece, and then there is nothing to prevent them from buying another gun with the proceeds. It is a feel good program. Gun issues will have to be dealt with with gun laws. The only gun laws that I see changing are making it easier to buy and carry guns. Thank your Republicans.

A couple of days ago, I read a post by a right-winger that was going on and on about how Ukrainians were only able to fight back only because they had guns to defend themselves. I posted a link showing that Ukrainian gun laws were far more restrictive than America's gun laws and, low and behold, no reply. Of course, after the invasion, gun laws restricting ownership and use were suspended in Ukraine, but that had nothing to do with the poster's supposition.

The way to change gun laws is to elect lawmakers who have the guts to get the job done and whittle down the Right activist SC, Don't expect it in your lifetime. The truth of the matter is guns are here to stay until the Fascist gain complete control and then they will do what we can't. Among the first things that repressive regimes do is remove the Intelligentsia and the guns, so, in effect, most of us won't see it.

The dumbass right wingers know not what they ask.
