Sen. Feinstein suggests national buyback of guns

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said that she and other gun control advocates are considering a law that would create a program to purchase weapons from gun owners, a proposal that could be compulsory.

“We are also looking at a buy-back program,” Feinstein said today in a press conference. “Now, again, this is a work in progress so these are ideas in the development.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., already discussed the possibility of a buy-back law for his state, but he made clear it would be a forced buyback.

“Confiscation could be an option,” Cuomo told The New York Times yesterday when discussing semiautomatic weapons. “Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it.”

Australia implemented a mandatory buyback program in 1996 following a mass shooting. “The law banned semiautomatic and automatic rifles and shotguns and put in place a mandatory buy-back program for newly banned weapons,” USA Today recalls. “The buyback led to the destruction of 650,000 gun.”

I think they have finally come to the realization that increased regulations is simply pissing into the wind, only problem is compulsory buy back would only disarm the people that would not commit homicide with them anyway.

.................and just think what the law abiding criminal will do ?

Same as the new restrictions would do.....

So when are they going to actually enforce the existing laws and put criminals behind bars....  oh wait, that would mean prosecuting themselves.... forgot, sorry..

Oh C'mon Huntbear, you don't think that someone with such a visceral hatred of guns and contempt of the common citizen such as Dianne Feinstien would own a gun herself, do you? 

Dianne Feinstein has/had a concealed weapons permit

maybe correct me but did not at least a few members on here state that Obama and the Dems were not going to pursue a ban and/or confiscation of firearms before the election?

[csaaphill]

And it can't happen here right?

That's the way I remember it.

Good thing I sold all my guns to pay for Christmas this year.  There is no need to come by my house looking for any. 

[Wea300mag]

You get what you vote for!

Other than my Tikka in the Member Classifieds, I'm not interested in selling any of my guns.

[mossy8352]

Any politician is to be viewed as dishonest in their statements. Feinstein, Brown and many have wanted to disarm the population including the White house. Good luck with that! Yes you got what you voted for.

[csaaphill]

So we don't turn em in then what? Prison or is there still a 4th ammendment or is that gone too, since probable cause can be made up?

That's the way I remember it. 

Unfortunately, that president of theirs, during debate #2 made the statements "My belief is that we have to enforce the laws we've already got, make sure that we're keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, those who are mentally ill" .....and..... "Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced. But part of it is also looking at other sources of the violence."

Those few members were living in denial. what a surprise!

[PolarBear]

And just where in the hell do they propose to get all this money for "buy backs"?
I agree that we need to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and thee mentally ill such as all extreme liberals!

[addicted2hunting]

buy this back!!!!

[norsepeak]

they can have all of my guns and ammo...just have to come and get them...if they dare   Just picked up more ammo this morning.

[jess]

well history always repeats itself! Are we in for a us holocaust? Just this time it will be the muslim brotherhood killing christians.. Damn democrats need to take off the obama blinders and see whats going on! It will be a miracle if the united states survives the next four years.. You got what u voted for america!

the problem is when the goverment gets resistance (and they will) our muslim obama will declare martial law! Then the constitution will no longer apply! Its all part of his plan to be a king and ruin america!

Kings historically only stayed in power as long as they had the money to pay their many mercenaries.  Obama has no money to pay mercenaries....not for long anyway.  And the mercenaries are going to demand a high salary when they see what a dangerous occupation it is! 

[washelkhunter]

Feinstein the senator from an economically failed state overrun by illegals and libs. Bet the avg joe in Cali is glad to have a gun.  How has she retained a senate seat? A better arguement for term limits there is not.

I don't think it was me, but I agree they wouldn't have even really broached the subject of guns BEFORE the election.  Not in what was being predicted to be a close race.

As for a buyback, maybe Holder should try buying some of his back.

So we don't turn em in then what? Prison or is there still a 4th ammendment or is that gone too, since probable cause can be made up?

Nothing, under the 5th amendment you wouldn't do anything but keep them hidden.  Else it would be self incrimination.  Like if they wanted full registration, only the criminals are not required to go register.

Just posted that link along with the following statement to facebook.

Ugh just read this and am disgusted. I keep seeing/hearing a lot of "You don't need guns." or "You don't need this type of gun" or "You don't need that many guns."

To that I say guns are like car insurance. If you never get in an accident you could say you never needed it. If you get into an accident and don't have it, or don't have enough then it's too late though. Nobody knows when or if they will get in a car accident, and most sane people do not seek out accidents, but nobody has their motives questioned, or is called paranoid for carrying auto insurance.

Guns are our insurance policy against not just robbers, murderers, kidnappers and rapists, but against corrupt government officials who would strip us of our constitutional rights, and foreign powers who would like to enslave us. For those who are lucky enough to never be the victims of violent crime; sure you probably don't "need" a gun. Our government is not so bad right now, and nobody is trying to invade the US at the moment either, so God willing we will never "need" guns to defend our nation. Personally though I would rather have my guns and never need them, then find myself in need at some future date and not have them.

doesn't make me feel better but ya.

so anyone know the numbers in the house since it has to pass there first that are still on our side.
i see A+ NRA ratings turning to F- all the time.

As much as I hate Harry Reid, he has kept a lot of anti-gun laws from ever coming to a vote on the senate floor. I do not believe any anti-gun law introduced in the senate will make it to the house.  The votes are not there. And there are a lot of liberals from conservative enough states up for reelection in 2014 that are not going to want to have to defend voting for an anti-gun law.

Don't count on this!!!  Obummer and lackeys WILL get something thru both houses.  Just look at all the media attention on any and all firearms incidents in the news since Newtown.  Those liberals will flip and say it was what the public wanted.  It's a sad state of affairs in our great country right now.  But, I think we are outnumbered on this one.  Not giving up yet, but I think the writing is on the wall.  Something will be done.  The extent of the damage to our liberties is what we will need to vigorously defend.

Yup..the Sheople are outting themselves.  SHOULD take names and link up with folks wanting "protected" later, if you sold a gun in the circus procedings..you get no help as you willingly gave up other options.

[lokidog]

I see masses of people lining up for the voluntary buy backs in Los Angelas and elsewhere.   Wonder where the money comes from for these?   

Anyone want to sell their guns for $100, give me a chance first....

Hey Magnanimous, you're being kind of quiet on this one.  Thought you said it wouldn't happen.

In 1994 polls showed 60+% of people wanted more gun control.  The polls today are only just  over 50%.  Also back in 1994 republicans took the house for the first time in like 60 years running against democrats that voted for the Brady Bill.  I'm sure there were a couple more but i only remember one republican in the house voting for the Brady Bill, and that was the POS Tom Ridge.

[ICEMAN]

I will die behind my guns. Never giving them up.

ya Se washington will need or will come running if and when needed.

[B Mo]

We'll see how this plays out.  An actual confiscation would lead to a lot of UA service members, cops quitting their jobs, and lots of dead people. Hopefully for everyone's sake that never happens. I kind of feel like America keeps gaining velocity on the downward spiral we've been traveling...

[Bean Counter]

What would probably stop it quicker than anything is one military/LEO turning on the others in the middle of the confiscation efforts. Many wont have the courage to do that, but I know that at least some will.

Now is not the time to "sell guns." Now is the time to acquire guns, all the guns you can. Take out a bank loan, max out your credit card, do whatever it takes to acquire as many guns and as much ammunition as you can. Arm yourself and your family, and fortify your home. When the gun confiscators knock on your door greet them with the only message the dictator-in-chief understands: a hale of gunfire. If 5 million patriots, believers in the Constitution do this We will win the battle. Remember, we are not the law-breakers, they are the illegal ones. They are the ones violating the Constitution of the United States. There can be no compromise, no conciliation, no retreat. We are not the UK or Australia, we are free citizens who cherish our liberties more that all else. Give in now and we will become serfs and slaves, subjects of tyranny.

Don't register them, either.

[Bean Counter]

  Good for you.  I've joined SAF and GOA recently. Still on the fence about NRA.
