the problem with not seizing them means all those guns are still in circulation. all the regulation and registration won't change the fact that a certain percentage of gun owner simply do not adequately secure their firearms away from people who shouldn't have them. 

a mandatory buyback program coupled with a hefty jail sentence for anyone who is non compliant would do wonders. 

I would say a voluntary buyback program and required registration...maybe even a program where you have to let the police verify the weapon is still in your possession every few years.

I'd be interested to know what percentage of gun owners in america would voluntarily sell back their gun. I'd say in the zero point something to zero point something but slightly higher range. 

the propaganda associated with a buyback, mandatory or voluntary, by the right wing media would be like something none of us had ever seen. so I don't think that's ever going to happen. I think Biden et al are going to try to ban "assault style" rifles like Clinton did. But he'll grandfather in current owners and require registration, which will do absolutely nothing. And it will fail anyway. I'm sure even a few democrats would vote against it. 

At market rates a lot. Above market rates even more.
giving out a 20 dollar gift card per gun, not a lot.

At the end of the day it’s about incentives 

isn't "freedum from tyranny" the biggest incentive of them all amongst this crowd? or I suppose I'm overestimating the amount of nut jobs in the gun owner group. 

They may not sell all their guns, but they might get rid of half of them if it’s enough money.

I agree a buyback program is probably less effective among single gun owners 

That’s exactly what I would do if it was retail value. It’s too much of a hassle and expensive to sell a gun privately, so I end up keeping some I will probably never use. If I got fair market I’d sell them.

So up to $10.00 and waiting up to 30 days for a CBI check to come back on the buyer is “too much of a hassle and expensive?”

I support and will defend the 2nd Amendment,given said that. I as a law abiding citizen can wait 30 days. I do not need high capacity magazines to protect myself and family. I don't plan to go toe to toe with my government with military grade hardware. There NEEDS to be common sense gun laws for this insanity to stop.

So I’ll ask you, if you can’t possess an assault rifle to defend yourself, are you unable to defend yourself and do you believe that your 2A rights will have been taken away?

I hope they pass and lead the way to more states doing the same.

I know he is an actor but I believed that was totally from the heart.  This might be the most inspiring talk from Washington since Obama.  

Edit:  Just finished.  Reporters really took that all to heart by just all yelling out questions at once.

my bet is anything that passes at state level gets overturned by the supreme court. just sayin.

it is imperative that biden expands the court. but he is a coward, so he won't.
