On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks argued that even a ban on future purchases of guns would not reduce the number of guns in America and that reducing the number of guns in America would require something akin to an Australia-style gun buyback program. And that he has never understood why a gun buyback like Australia’s “is an affront to anybody.” Because it’s a choice whether to sell your gun back or not.
Brooks began by saying that the chance of the federal government taking further action on guns “Seems remote.”
He added, “I’ve never understood why an Australian-style gun buyback is an affront to anybody. It’s an open choice. You can sell your gun or not. But if we’re going to reduce 400 million guns, it would take something like that, not even just banning future purchases. I mean, we’ve got 400 million here.”

This is the Ministry of Propaganda’s flagship paper and NPR’s token “conservative”.
But there are still lots of guns in Australia. You need people to not want to murder others actually.
Ordering a buyback is still stealing
Uh, you need a Gestapo like Nazi Germany.
He’s lying when he says Australians had a choice.
It was surrender it or go to prison if caught with it.
David Brooks is retarded.
Red states need to go their own way.
Hmmm. Maybe make it against the law to kill people? That might work. Or not. 😵💫🤬
The government never owned the guns and we already know Brooks, you idiot boob, that gun buy backs do not work.
No, Dave, it's not. What part of "mandatory" do you not understand?
Pssssttttt! It’s called the fbi. Bad apples spoiling the entire bunch these days.
I wouldn’t want AZ to use my tax dollars to buy guns.
Can’t sell the government my guns… they’d never pass a background check.
Pant Crease Brooks remains true to his idiotic form.
“Red states need to go their own way.”
Im hoping that THIS is the ultimate outcome. I am more than done with
having to deal with the left. Don’t want to deal with them. Don’t want to be
around them.
Brookes just showing why he’s the token conservative on PBS and other networks.
Can’t earn a decent living being this this dumb so he pretends to be a conservative.
These clowns severely underestimate the resolve or tens of millions of gun owners who will not stand to have their weapons confiscated by urban commie scum. Molón Labe.
I hope they offer a lot for each one. Two pipes and a nail makes a shotgun.
Not real convenient for duck hunting... but I’d probably let ‘er go for a couple hunnit’
I’ve got a 10-22 I’d take $20K for.
XD XD
