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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
