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.

Control the narrative, control the debate. It's one thing the Left has made part and parcel of their bag-o-tricks that the cross-dressing sissycons of the Harvard Masturbation Society have never been able to wrap their nano-brains (the only things smaller than their microdicks, these guys make a walnut-brained Stegosaurus look like Rocket Scientist Potential) around.

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.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

The left tried to make it about guns, but it is about limiting/eliminating individual liberty and our civil rights protected but the constitution.

but the gov thinks they give you everything cause without them you would not exist THEY are the reason you are where you are so they feel they can take what they want and they do try to push that as much as they can

+10 on the 'civil rights'. IF for no other reason that the 2A isn't about guns, it is about the ability to defend your yourself and your 1A rights- which aren't the 'freedom of speech', but at its root the freedom of thought.
Gun 'buyback' is one thing. Being bribed with my own money (taxes) is a kind of insulting. Are they going to give us PSA prices for our Knights
A gun buy back with the alternative to paying an 'NFA' for a new registration system is an interest twist I heard. Pay up, turn in, or jock up.
I think I've seen the "Mandatory buy-back" term too. That is pretty Orwellian.
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.

"Buyback" sounds less severe than "confiscation" or "mandatory surrender." They think it also makes them look like they're compromising: At least we're not just taking them. You'll get SOMETHING for them. Of course, everybody who has floated this idea has the same parameters: Government sets a non-negotiable price for every gun turned in, and you can take what they're offering, or just turn the gun in. But either way, you're going to turn in your guns or they're going to come and take them and you.
