Over 1,000 guns were bought back by Oakland officials over the weekend in one of the largest ever buy-back events on record; nevertheless six people have been murdered in the city since Friday.Oh my.
Well that didn't work. And we had such high expectations.
You'd think we'd see some progress with this tactic after all these years.
Maybe if Captain David Kozicky wasn't out chasing phantom .50's, maybe if California "Only Ones" more interested in perks than crime control hadn't backed back that dolt Jerry Brown who failed at doing so for AG, maybe if sterile queen bee Michael Savage hadn't done the same, we might be a little closer to addressing what would work...in Oakland and the rest of California.
So...any bets on when the next "buyback" will be?

I wonder if you could buy toy guns at the dollar store and then sell them for big bucks at one of these "buy backs". After all, toy guns are just as scawy to the big bad cops and their cowardly sympathizers.
What I can never understand is what the perceived objective is for buybacks?
Are they hoping that criminally inclined people will not commit crimes using firearms because they do not have access to them?
Does it not occur to the people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on these programs that firearms are just tools of a criminal's trade? Firearms are not magic talismans that drive the law abiding to crime solely by their presence. A criminal either ignores buybacks entirely or uses it a means to dispose of evidence.
How can people not see that?
Problem is, Kent, California bans the sale of realistic toy guns and can fine a store $10K per violation--unless of course, you're an anti-gunner, that is...
1894C: they've admitted these things don't work--except to generate more publicity/propaganda, and to further condition the cud chewers, which is all they're really after...
So "Buybacks" (which is a misnomer as you cannot buyback something you never owned) are merely an exercise in social conditioning.
And people lap it up and ask for seconds.
How long can the Republic yet suffer such fools?
