Buyback? What's this "buyback?"

[WillBrink]

How can the .gov buy something back that was never theirs? It's confiscation. Seems like pro gunners are letting the antis get away with defining the language. This should be called out for what it is every time it's uttered.

If it was voluntary and the seller set the price, it would be a buyback of sorts. Not voluntary and enforced at the barrel of a gun by LE for not complying = confiscation

They just don't have the balls or the decency to call it what is, per usual.

Remember, the end justifies the means to them, so how it gets done is irrelevant to them.

Here's another way to look at this. In the Leftist/Socialist/Communist mentality, the concept of private property is something that doesn't compute. Their bold and brave new future involves removing private ownership. Once they take power, they provide some kind of compensation for something they claim you never owned. It was communal property to begin with, and now they're just transferring it to the collective.

Who calling for this?

Many of those currently vying for to be the Democratic nominee for the 2020 Presidential race for starters, along with many state and national level congresscritters on the Dem side of the aisle.

It's becoming a fashionable position to take again among politicians on the left. IMO that's at least partially due to the amount of money Bloomberg has personally poured into the push for more gun control.

Ironically, that means every politician claiming pols who vote for gun rights have been bought by the NRA has themselves been bought and paid for by the likes of Michael Bloomberg.

I'd bet if the money went away, nearly overnight all of the clamor for gun bans/buybacks/confiscation would do the same.

Seems to me that a mandatory gun buy back is pretty much raping someone, but throwing them some 20s and calling it a ‘date night’.

Nope, the value is incalculable when it comes to a natural civil right.

This all sounds like Jim Crow laws to me. I can't believe that those racists are trying to implement new Jim Crow laws.

The party of the Klan strikes again.

Speaking of "language" we should probably constantly remind people that it isn't "gun rights" but a "civil right" as it is 1 of 10 found within the bill of rights, which are ALL civil rights.

Firearms, like expression, like religion and all the rest need to be discussed in the context of a "civil rights" issue. There can be no "buy back" of civil rights.

This 1000%

It’s not perfectly clear, but there is a political a-side:b-side cartoon of ‘buy back’ for the 2A and the 14A just to show how crazy the concept of a buy back on civil rights is. All the more crazy is the rights that younger people are willing to surrender with no compensation...
