Psst... lemme tell you a secret. It's not the guns, it's the criminals.
You can get all the broken relics you want off the street and it won't do a thing to reduce crime. Criminals are not going to turn theirs in, and any ideas of reducing the supply are laughable. If they ever succeeded (which would require limitless funds and paying more and more for them), the street price of working guns would rise higher than whatever they offer. Anytime demand outstrips supply, the price rises, and people will act to take advantage by selling more. You cannot get rid of guns by buying them up. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
