13News Now Investigates: How effective are gun buybacks

[Chainfire]

5. No, not at all

The right-wingers are wrong because they contend that the only thing that protects their perverted vision of freedom are the guns that they have today. The Ukrainians proved that you can both have reasonable gun laws and still arm the public in an emergency.

Back to the original question, no, gun buybacks don't work. They may, in fact take some guns out of circulation, but the American gun industry is a 5 billion dollar a year business, buybacks don't make a noticeable dent in the number of guns in circulation. That can only be addressed by laws, like the rest of the civilized world does.
