There are too many guns in the US already, both legal and illegal for a buyback scheme like here to work. The only way to reduce gun ownership is to gradually ban more and more things to the point where it'll be difficult to buy or maintain a gun at all without getting government approval.
That said the US loves its guns so much that even if they were banned (and the agents of confiscation don't get shot at), we'd probably just see a boom in black market arms fabrication
Except that's never even been something that's on the table here.
bumpfire stocks were banned because they can increase rate of fire. Absolutely useless for any practical purpose as it reduces accuracy. Really great when you're firing into a crowd and don't have a machine gun. It's what the Las Vegas highscore shooter used. People thought it was machine gun fire.
The pistol grip thing isn't even true. It just puts your rifle into a class which means it needs to be registered as an 'assault weapon' (semiautomatic rifle). It was previously used as a means to circumvent this.
I don't agree with this 'assault weapon' shit but we absolutely need a national registry and license system for guns and it is ridiculous that we don't already have one. In places like Arizona it's basically like the wild west. You don't need a license or background check to purchase a gun. Your gun doesn't have to be registered. You can open or conceal carry freely. You have to show ID for private transfers but it's not like they actually do anything or check to make sure your ID is legitimate whatsoever. Probably 9/10 they don't even care. There are massive flea markets where you can buy secondhand guns like this.
Just absolute ridiculous shit that makes it easy for violent criminals, gangs, mentally ill, etc to get guns.
People like to blab about the 2nd amendment but if we look at United States v. Cruikshank we see the Supreme court says:
"The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second Amendments [sic] means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress, and has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National Government."
Then we have US Vs Heller where the Supreme court states there is a constitutional right to keep a loaded handgun at home for self-defense.
Nowhere has it ever been stated that there should be absolutely no regulation or registry system.
Funny how Republicans don't have the same view on our right to vote. -
2019-12-29 at 3:39 AM UTCWhat a lot of people don't understand is the right to bear arms in the Constitution IS for the mass shooting of people. It's for when We The People need to wage war against a corrupt, rogue and tyrannical government. And when you wage war against such a large group of enemy combatants, you WANT machine guns. You NEED machine guns. You NEED fully automatic rifles. The founders knew full well the government would eventually abuse its authority and couldn't resist corrupting itself, and that's why they gave the people the right to bear any arms they wish to combat it, when the time comes. So don't let these leftist liars fool you. The founders were quite clear what the purpose of allowing citizens to arm themselves to the teeth is. Of course, the government and their mindless lackeys want to disarm the people, because that's the only thing left standing in their way.

banning the ammo is the best solution.
guns are very easy to make, mass producing low cost, reliable ammo is rather difficult. -

Lol what? It's not that hard. Not even a little bit. Making the gun parts is significantly more difficult.

theres a text file on the internet so that must be easy.
if the government bans ammo what makes you think they wont also ban ammo making materials and machines.
go back to tending the gardens. -

There are billions and billions of rounds of .223 already on the street and over 500 million legal registered weapons chambered to fire them. -
2019-12-29 at 3:26 PM UTCAmmunition reloaders are really simple devices. Back in the '70's, my friend's Dad was a Brinks guard and had several ammunition reloaders and buckets of empty casings in the basement, so we used to sit there are reload all kinds of ammunition, including empty shotgun shells, and fire them. They all worked perfectly.
This is what the modern ones look like.

Yep. Simple as buying a machine. They're not expensive at all. -

2019-12-29 at 3:54 PM UTCBend over and spread your cheeks Trump Lovers. IDIOT Trump’s tariffs have so far hurt more than helped
By Marc Bain•December 28, 2019
US president Donald Trump’s tariffs appear to have hurt US manufacturing more than they’ve helped it, according to a study by the US Federal Reserve Board released this week.
The paper, which the authors call the first comprehensive estimates (pdf) of the tariffs’ effects on manufacturing, concluded that the tariffs led to fewer jobs in the sector, as their negative effects outweighed the benefits. Manufacturers were supposed to get a boost from the protection against practices by US trading partners Trump has deemed unfair. Instead they were hampered by rising costs and retaliatory tariffs.
How Trump tariffs are hurting U.S. consumers
Walmart is among the retailers who plan to raise prices because of the Trump administration’s tariffs on Chinese-made goods.
It’s not just the nation’s farmers who are feeling the negative effects of the tariffs that Donald Trump has imposed on imports from China.
The resulting trade war between the two countries cut off one of farmers’ biggest customers. There already have been a record number of bankruptcies for Midwest farmers. Soybean futures have hit the lowest price levels in a decade. Commodity prices for pork and cotton also are spiraling down. But more than just farmers are feeling the pain.
If Trump imposes even more tariffs, as he’s threatened, those added costs will be borne not by China but by U.S. companies and U.S. consumers. Those consumers may be forced to pay higher prices for shoes and clothing at stores like Walmart and Target. Walmart imports 26 percent of its products from China, while Target imports 34 percent of its merchandise from China. Others already feeling the pinch are people buying new appliances from manufacturers that rely on imported materials and parts — prices for washing machines already are up 12 percent because of the tariffs. -
