Mandatory Gun Buybacks? Yeah, What Does That Look Like? November 23, 2020
Were coming for your guns. Remember that? It was one of the most infamous lines of the Democratic primaries. Beto ORourke was one of the loudest to say that he would come for guns.
Just because he didnt win the Democratic primaries doesnt mean that the idea is off the table. In fact, its probably more likely to happen with Biden coming into office and his choice for White House Deputy Chief of Staff.
Jennifer OMalley Dillon is the one that Biden has chosen to fill the spot and shes the one bind managing Betos campaign, complete with pushing for the mandatory buybacks of certain firearms.
Beto thought it was entirely possible that the American government could perform mandatory gun buybacks of AR-15s, AK-47s, and any other rifles they felt were necessary to add to the list. Sure, Americans would get paid for them, but likely only a fraction of what theyre worth.
So, the argument that was around when Beto said this the first time around is back. How would the government know who owns such guns? Many were purchased illegally. Even when they were purchased legally, many have been handed down through the family over the years.
It would be impossible for the government to know who has these guns. They can ask people to turn them over, but theyll only get a small percentage of whats out there.
Are they going to knock on everyones door to find out if they have such a gun and to demand that it be turned over? Not only is that entirely time-consuming and dangerous, but its also a violation of our second amendment rights.

Kamala Harris likes the idea of the mandatory buyback program but hasnt worked out the details on how it would work.
Anderson Cooper of CNN asked Biden if a Biden administration would mean that people have to worry about people coming for their guns. Biden responded with, Bingo. Youre right if you have an assault weapon. He went on to say that he felt that those should be illegal.
The problem is that there is no such category as an assault weapon. Most people have rifles or semi-automatic weapons but theyre for sport. People take them to the range.

If anyones using those weapons to kill, it doesnt matter if the weapon is legal or not because the intended purpose is illegal. Its illegal to kill people so theres no need to make the weapon illegal, too.
Were back to the same argument as weve been to a million times before: guns dont kill people, people do.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation has estimated that there are approximately 434 million firearms owned by Americans and 19.8 million of these are categorized as Modern Sporting Rifles which includes AR-15s, AK-47s, and similar rifle platforms.
The Biden-Harris administration better come up with a really good plan for how theyre planning on collecting nearly 20 million Modern Sporting Rifles from Americans across the country. Theyll likely start off by asking for a voluntary recall and a very small percentage of Americans may participate. From there, theyll have to deal with Supreme Court lawsuits as various gun and rifle associations sue because its an infringement on our rights to bear arms.
Its laughable that both Biden and Harris think that theyll be able to come to get our guns. No one will want to be tasked with the job of knocking on everyones door in America to find out if they have guns. And if someone says they dont, are they going to get search warrants?
They may be able to ban the sale of such guns, but theyre never going to collect the ones that are out there. Even if they do figure out a way to pull it off, it wont end violence. When theres a will, theres a way. Criminals are criminals. If they want to commit mass murder, getting their hands on a gun illegally is the least of their concerns.
