Gun buy back programs do absolutely nothing to cut down on crime and exist solely to fluff out cops gun collections.

Well, that's because the bad guys turned them all in last year. [sarcasm]

Officials in Sonoma County, 
Calif., for example, found in a research project launched in 2013 that while buybacks were good at “garnering a favorable media response, the programs do not have a substantial impact on reduction or prevention of gun violence and typically have no long term effects.”

Nice little gem buried in there
