It is the underlying assumptions of these programs, the idea that guns in the hands of ordinary citizens is a bad thing, that is the fundamental problem with them.

[SampleMan]

I contend that the purpose of the programs is primarily symbolic, to delegitimize gun ownership and armed citizens, to condition the public to the idea of the legitimacy of turning guns over to the government and of the government destruction of guns.

Of course that the reason for them. They get the local media to carry their water on the issue every time they pull together $500 for one of these things.

I still think gun show organizers are missing out by not advertising every one of their events as gun buy backs. "Have an unwanted gun in your home? Come get top dollar for it."

Notice the name? "Buy back"? As if your guns were really the government's property, only yours as a concession, and now they're buying them ... back.

What do you mean they don’t work?

They work great for the PDs running them, who get to hand-select valuable guns for their own collections.

It's all part of the libtard anti-freedom brainwashing.
