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 |
| To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm . . . is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege. [Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878)] |
