Funny term "buyback" as if the govt. owned them from the start....

“These unwanted guns will never again be used. They will never again pose any type of threat to a loved one or have an opportunity to be used in a crime. ]Every weapon turned in counts,” said Jared Redulla, DLE director of law enforcement.

Ok.

Then all State and county personnel authorized to cary firearms must turn their guns in too, right Jared?

They pose a threat to loved ones and have the opportunity to be used in crime as well.

"Every weapon turned in counts."

Oh - you say your guns are different?

Funny, so are mine.

I've heard of buyers remorse.

I wonder if anyone experienced buy-back remorse.......

Especially when someone is poking their a$$ and they said no, I no like.

You mean when this guy from Deliverance breaks in and starts buggering them cause he heard they turned in their gun to make the world a safer place?

Or, when he shows up as a looter in their neighborhood cause it's been five days without electricity due to some Hurricane, and all 5 HPD officers are otherwise occupied somewhere else?

Yeah, I recon at some point before they lose consciousness, they may reconsider the wisdom of buyin' the local Junta's propaganda.
