I’m more curious how many of these turned in weapons were used in murders?
Beggars the imagination that the event is truly ‘anonymous’ and they aren’t collecting (at least) video evidence, in case they need to hunt someone down.
Serious what-if/hypothesis to all:
When Kameltoe/They gets installed &/or doesn’t relinquish control and the all-out “legal” Gun confiscation begins, I believe the first step is the nice guy/carrot idea. They do a national “buy-back” program where they offer insane amounts for firearms. $2000 for rifles, $4000 for “Assault” rifles, $500 for handguns, $1000 for “Assault” pistols.
Some naïve folks with 10 -AR’s will turn in a few from their lot for some quick cash.
The second stage is less money and then ending with mandatory no-cash compensation turn-ins.
Those that turned in some (not all) for cash early on will be the first strong arm confiscation in that they know exactly what they have. NOT kicking in the door but frozen bank accounts (of everyone, not just the head of the household), garnished paychecks to pay the daily fines, etc.
That would scare a lot more into voluntarily sacrificing their guns without retribution.
Remember these folks will write the laws (meaning everything legal for the time being), 90% of police and military will absolutely follow orders, and after 6 months of this, 50% of the patriots will be disarmed.
Think of 100 folks you know directly and in-directly that fall in the category above. I promise when faced with taking a stand OR the family (brother, sisters, in-laws, all family) starving, you might have 10 left.
Don’t just respond and dismiss this, think about it...
