Bought and Paid For

The buyback is being financed by $50,000 in assets forfeited through seizures from drug investigations and other crimes.

So it's all good, right? And we don't need to think through any deeper implications...?

Stolen money being used to "buy back" something the thieves never owned in the first place: an action that will harm society and make it less safe, causing people to cry out to the thieves to "do something" to protect them. Starting the whole cycle over again. Sounds like good statist policy to me.

I wish they would have a gun buy back near me. I have a couple of small caliber handguns that I would like to sell them. I'm looking forward to putting that money towards a new XDM, when it becomes available in 9 mm.

Me too, like a presidential candidate stopping his opponent mid-sentence, like this:

Whoa now, an "assault weapon" is a semiauto rifle that has a vented shroud over the barrel, like a motorcycle exhaust? I'm sorry, but it's time to dispel this media myth right here and now"
