Psst... lemme tell you a secret. It's not the guns, it's the criminals.
You can get all the broken relics you want off the street and it won't do a thing to reduce crime. Criminals are not going to turn theirs in, and any ideas of reducing the supply are laughable. If they ever succeeded (which would require limitless funds and paying more and more for them), the street price of working guns would rise higher than whatever they offer. Anytime demand outstrips supply, the price rises, and people will act to take advantage by selling more. You cannot get rid of guns by buying them up. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
