After the 'buyback' fails. When will the .gov 'sellback' the rifles to the public?
Realistically, how a buyback would work:
There would be a period of time in which owners could sell back their guns under the program. Once this time ended, it would be a crime to be found in possession of such a prohibited item, probably with fairly stiff penalties like a felony conviction. Periodically, amnesty periods would be implemented to allow gun surrenders, with or without compensation, to allow holdouts to change their minds and surrender without legal risk.
Not sure what is meant by "working". Some would surrender their guns, some would bury them in the garden. From time to time, non complying gun owners would get strung up by the law and suffer serious criminal consequences. Probably won't be seeing these guns at public ranges or on facebook, and getting these guns will be a bit harder, but by no means impossible. Mass shooting will continue to occur, either with contraband weapons or weapons that are still legal, and the gun control debate will continue on.
I don't really see any outcome where there are door to door raids to collect, more just a general atmosphere that encourages gun owners to keep their contraband hidden.
What if 110 million rifle owners went to them all at the same time? We could make it a parade with flags, marching drum corps, and 21 gun salutes.Democrats: We can't go door to door and deport 11 million illegals
Same Democrats: We can go door to door and confiscate 110 million full semi automatic rifles
You'd have trouble finding any politicians to salute after the first one.What if 110 million rifle owners went to them all at the same time? We could make it a parade with flags, marching drum corps, and 21 gun salutes.
