After your reply in this thread (#15), it is useless for you to deny your socialist longings… your answer everything is the government…
“Gun violence takes a drastic plunge. Gang members and criminals resort to spears, clubs, knives–and discover that they ARE more fun.”
So you think that a gun death is different than a knife death… how is one less tragic than the other? Other than your predisposition to hating guns…
“Federal gun buy-back programs initiated from every police station. Time to clean house, folks. Get cash for your under-used weapons! Pay off debt! This is immediately followed by a drop in stolen weapons (there aren’t so many left in those nightstands) and consequent gun crime.”
Furnishedowner, where do you think the money comes from for these programs? So people buy the guns with their money, only to get money back from the government which gets the money from them in the first place, and the politicians borrow the money to do it first to boot! Great plan…
“Libel laws and Defamation of Character Suits start getting enforced. Rush, Beck, propertymanager, anyone who spouts vitriol and lies get their hands slapped and maybe even a trip to the hoosegow”
LOL… and somehow all the libs get a pass… and you don’t think you’re a socialist?.. The difference between us and you is that we want EVERYONE to be held accountable… you only want to selectively apply these standards to those with whom you disagree…
Whether you realize it or not, you fit right in with the Global Warming scientists who were CAUGHT lying and want to blame everyone else… No wonder you are avoiding commenting on the global warming SCAM… it would be interesting to see if it has even caused you to QUESTION things… doubtful, but you can prove us wrong and ACTUALLY ANSWER!..

I’ve got to tell you that I’ve been thinking about FO’s proposal and I’ve changed my mind. I’m now 100% in favor of FO’s gun buy back program. The only thing I need to know is how much she’s willing to pay. In San Diego, they offered $100 for handguns and $200 for rifles. I can buy Russian made Mosin-Nagant rifles for $89 each at the gun stores and there are literally thousands of them available. I’m sure that I could get them cheaper by ordering several shipping containers directly from Russia (through a FFL, of course). I’m guessing that I could get them for less than $50 each, shipping included. So, FO, I’m willing to commit $100,000 RIGHT NOW to buy my first shipment of rifles and I understand that you’re willing to pay me $400,000 for them (cash please - I don’t trust socialists). Immediately upon receiving my $400,000, I’ll order a $400,000 shipment of rifles and you can pay me $1,600,000 for them to take them off the street = LOL! For the third shipment, you’ll pay me $6,400,000 and so on. You can see that very quickly I’ll be out of the rental property business and living on Easy Street! Does the San Diego police department buy back guns by the ship load?
Good idea FO - good idea!!! Gotta love socialism!
Yep, I’ve changed my mind - BRING ON THE GUN BUYBACKS!
The gang bangers like that gun buy-back, too. They can do a couple of drive by murders and then turn the murder weapon in, no questions asked. After that, they don’t have to worry about getting convicted of the crime because the prosecutor can’t produce a murder weapon.
But that suits the true liberal who hates to see the poor victim of society get punished for what is not his own fault. Society, or food preservatives, or a drunken father, compelled him to kill, so he should be turned back loose in society and not punished.
I suspect that most illegal guns in this country have been smuggled in, in mass, and not stolen one-by-one.
