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.”

Why do the totalitarians call them “buybacks” ?
The government never owned the guns.
Hint: It is a simple propaganda tool, in an attempt to give the paid confiscateion program normalcy.
How does one “buy back” something never owned?
L
Glock , Sig and S&W are the highest selling
brands of guns and typically sell for $500-$600
without adding an optic.
Who wants the government to buy up millions
of guns from peaceful owners who have to be
ready to defend themselves against violent
Leftist mobs like Antifa and BLM who have over
500 instances of terrorism since Biden took office
The efforts to defund and tie the hands of polic
have left us all defending ourselves.
Brooks as usual is clueless, he probably has
an armed guard with him when he goes out and
a fortified home.
“Ya cain’t buy back whut y’all ain’t sold tuh begin wit’!”
Just dredge all the lakes for sunken fishing boats full of guns?
Your southern drawl is shining through. 🙂
I’ll “”SELL”” this illicit governmint some of “MY” estate sale, junk, guns amassed over many past years but only for a tidy sum and, Not to be paid for with government derived funding or tax dollars period.
Sorry, the feral government is not of good enough character to buy a gun from me. It couldn’t pass the background check.
Fully concur.
Get training... ASAP.
Obama-lover David Brooks is going to take our guns in a “buyback”!? LOL! We will DIE, many of us, before giving up our guns. The Founders SURE didn’t give up theirs.
Secession Now.
He recently wrote a great column explaining his view and research on mass shooters, but now he’s apparently back to being a dumbass.
400 million is probably a
Very low estimate.
.
‘Blades of Grass’
comes to mind.
20k for 10/22 ?

Must be a special one!
My first one!
Mine Too.
From Montgomery Wards in
The ‘70s.
I went to one in Ventura County and scored a Remington 66 Apache Black .22 autoloader, a Rossi .38 revolver and a .303 Enfield. Easy as pie. The entire transaction took about 5 minutes.
Well. Since the progressives love to play the “it’s easier to get a gun than (insert current thing here).
So treat vaginas like guns. Register them. Ban high capacity vaginas. And, when that doesn’t work, a mandatory buy back program... No questions asked....
I have written off Australia.
That fiasco with Covid convinced me that they have strayed from the Country I thought it was.
And I stopped buying Yellow Tail wine.
