What happens if Beto holds a buy-back, and no one sells?
How can TX buy back guns it didn't sell?

 

[M14 Shooter]

He's got my vote, then. Gun laws are one of my biggest beliefs as a liberal.

For no apparent reason.

There are other countries which have instituted buybacks. Australia did so after a mass shooting.

Their homicide rate has steadily declined ever since.

I believe the Australian buyback was mandatory, though. That was an actual gun grab. Something which would be unconstitutional here.

Wrong.
The Australian buy back was a total failure.
Fewer than 10% of illegal assault weapons were turned in.

The reality is the homicide rate already was in a steady decline, and the fake by-back did absolutely nothing.
In fact, informal journalists investigating, say Australia has over 5 times as many illegal assault weapons now, compared to when they had the buy-back.

As you can see, the 1996 buy-back did NOT reduce guns, and they are now much higher in number.

The California proposal option, require insurance to own a firearm and make it too expensive to afford.
Luckily, this being Texas, there is no way his dreams will see a committee hearing in the legislature, much less make it to the governor's desk for signature.

California has no such provision.

You are always confused about things like this.

The damn Australian government prohibited the right to keep and bear arms by restricting many many kinds of firearms.

With the extensive restrictive licensing requirement you can have some Fudd type guns but that is not freedom.

It was one of the most despicable things ever done to a country.

With the pandemic oppression we saw this last year what happens in a country of good people like Australia when the government has all the power and the people have none, didn't we?

No, people simply misunderstand what happened in Australia.
Australia is not centralized.
There is no federal BATF.
So each province was allowed pretty much to do what they wanted to, and most did pretty much nothing.
People are buying ARs in Australia, because of the Indonesian pirates.

Cite a gun law that ever worked at stopping criminals.

Since you neglected to provide a link....

The Myth That Australia's Gun Laws Reduced Gun Homicides

"I researched the strictly tightened gun laws in Britain and Australia," data analyst Leah Libresco wrote in The Washington Post. "Neither nation experienced drops in mass shootings or other gun related-crime that could be attributed to their buybacks and bans."

Gun control has traditionally been aimed at disarming blacks.

I think you need to put down the crack pipe.

You might want to research what they did to their people with their zero covid policies.

It's unconstitutional.

 

[woodwork201]

O’Rourke stressed his belief that citizens should not be able to buy a AR-15s, then said: “And if I can find the consensus within the Legislature to have a law in the state of Texas that allows us to buy those AK-47s and AR-15s back, we will.”

Now Beto O'Rourke Says He Will Buy Back Texans' AR-15s

Buy them back? Odd, did Texas sell those weapons to Texans?
Of course it's all just empty pandering to the dems, because he knows the TX Legislature would never go for it.

Texans need to set up booths near any buy back drop off point and offer more money than whatever is the offer from the state.

 

[woodwork201]

I have a Jenning Zamak POS that my wife bought before we got together that I wouldn't sell to another living soul...except gun controllers.

Dearest gungrabbers...please have a gun buyback in Misouri.

I'd really like to get a few bucks for this junk pistol.

I had a Jennings .25 ACP. It fell apart in my hand after every shot. I just buried it in the back yard.
