dipshits.

Gun buy back programs are a sad joke.
It is rare that a functioning gun is turned in.
It is just more "Liberal" propaganda.

Look up Kennesaw, Georgia. Everyone is mandated to have a gun in their home. Crime rates have dropped dramatically. And the law has been in effect for 25 years or so.

better yet, get that law enacted in Phoenix. And, get back to me in about 10 years with a progress report,
amigo.

Ever been to AZ, slick?

Neither Phoenix nor any town in AZ need a law like Kennesaw's.

Once upon a time in the West, I was hauling a car from TX to a very disgruntled customer in Tucson. She was pissed about the freight rate which she had agreed to before I ever loaded her POS car. Freight was COD. NO checks or money orders, just good old US dollars. I called the bitch when I got to town and heard a bunch of blowback from some males in the background. I agreed to meet her at a certain parking lot to collect my money and give her the car.

Upon arrival at said meeting place, I strapped on my HI-POWR and stepped out of my truck. I had a cross draw rig and it was in very plain sight. She waddled up and started talking trash and informed me the cops were enroute. It was very evident from her accent that she was NOT from AZ, and more than likely from Joizzee or Eastern, PA. A cop arrived and she started squealing about my pistol. The cop laughed and said, "His gun doesn't bother me. It's legal. Those two assholes sitting in your car bother me."

Then she told him to make me unload her car and she wasn't paying me. I laughed and told her it didn't bother me if she didn't want to pay, I had a place to store it at her expense in Tucson and she'd most likely not be able to afford to buy it out of storage after he paid me the freight and charged her for the storage and fees. The cop looked at my bill of lading (with her signature authorizing me to transport the car from Texas to Tucson for the aforementioned amount) and told her it was out his jurisdiction as it was an interstate freight shipment and as long as it was on my trailer, I owned it.

She shut her yap, handed me an envelope out of her pocket with exact amount in it. I unloaded her POS Mustang II with a fried engine and I hope she lived happily ever after.

Wullie is right, we don't need that law. And if you do a search you'll see that there have been plenty of times that citizens have used their firearms lawfully and stopped a crime. Then there are the estimated hundreds of thousand times a year where a citizen showing he/she's armed has stopped a problem before it became a crime, and therefore unreported. I personally have held two groups of people at gunpoint till the police showed. One was a group of 3 who were stealing Jeep Cherokees (when they were the hot ticket in the 90's) and the other was a group of 2 who had stolen a handgun from a friend. We cased the place we figured dude hid the gun and sho' nuff he showed up that evening to collect it. He thought he was going to have an old fashioned gun fight till he saw 3 of us armed and I had my big scary black "assault" rifle pointed right at him. His buddy in the truck kept trying to reach the gun under the seat. I kept screaming at him not to try any bullshit and told him look out the back window of the truck. The sight of me with a big ass scoped rifle pointed at him stopped him from forcing me to kill him. Cops showed up, thanked us and hauled the two punks off to jail. And dude was reaching for a gun under the seat. It was an S&W 5904. And once there was the two guys who my ex sent over to whoop my ass. Samuel Colt stopped them from whooping my ass. Then there's the time I was a juvenile and a burgler entered my home with intent to harm. I had a gauge. He never committed any other crimes.

So yeah Slick, I'd love to see that law in Phoenix. I'd bet that home invasion and break in's would drop to a new low just like in Kennesaw.

Wullie and Rugg....you miss my point. It's the MANDATORY part that I suspect wouldn't work out well in
a larger urban setting.

I am waiting for the "Drug Buy Back Program"? What a concept?

If you bother to do a bit of research, Kennesaw passed their law in response to the town of Morton Grove. IL which passed a law outlawing private gun ownership.

Kennesaw's law worked admirably for the citizens. Morton Grove's law worked great for the criminals. Go figure.

As for making gun ownership mandatory? If that was done, the shitbags that didn't do their homework would be an extinct species in very short order. The shitbags that did do their homework would find a less dangerous and more productive occupation.

Even though I think the idea has some merit, it does NOT mean that I want it passed or enacted. I think it is a matter of our 2nd amendment rights and we should be able to choose whether or not we want to carry.

In case you want to pull that license bullshit out and wave it, can you explain WHY you don't need a license to speak yet most places require a license to carry?
