The NRA says she wants to "confiscate" your guns. She probably does, but this has been discussed before. It didn't fly then and it won't now. All she's doing is riding the same horse she always rides. She's playing off of the terrible shootings recently and use them as a candidate ploy. I agree that I'm as sick as anyone else about the mass shootings, but really, what can be done to prevent them? The only way I can think of is for these shooters friends, family, and loved ones to report any change in a person they know who has a fantasy with guns. If they already know the person has mental disorders or have been in psychiatric care, they should be scrutinized constantly. My brothers son has mental issues. My brother sells guns on the Internet. He gave my nephew an M-16 and an AK-47. I talked to my brother about it and he gets upset with me, but I don't care. I think my nephew is a loose cannon and I'm constantly checking on him. He, like many others already have his WMD's. It worries the hell out of me. Oh, BTW, he's an alcoholic also. Now to Clinton's ideas which was actually asked by an audience member.

It's "worth considering" whether the United States should emulate Australia by instituting a national gun buyback program, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Friday at a town hall in New Hampshire.

A man in the audience asked Clinton whether she thought it would be possible for the U.S. to enact such a program, and if not, why. Gun buybacks have happened at the metropolitan level in the U.S., but any effort at the national level would be sure to run into intense political opposition.

Clinton, for her part, seemed open to the idea.

What an old tired left-wing hag....hasn't she been around long enough? Just go home and leave me alone, OK?
Hillary will do or say anything to gain power....she has no moral principles, just an absolute lust for power. She is horrifying...

What stupid law-abiding citizen would voluntarily give up their only source of protection.

The U.S. Government couldn't afford the price tag on my fire-arms. (I'll just leave it that, OK?)

I missed my calling. I should have been a gun-store owner. Does anyone realize how many trillions "banning guns" would cost? Forget the 2nd amendment. Lets assume that all gun owners agreed to a buy-back. That's 425 million guns. What if the median price was $600 per gun? Thats 255 billion just for the buy back. And who will do the buy back? That's right America. You'll have to hire people to collect guns, people to store guns, people to catalog the guns, people to destroy the guns, people to verify the guns were destroyed and then finally, people to cut the checks. And then once all guns are bought back and we've decided guns are no longer to be made/bought, what will we do with all the unemployed Smith & Wesson, Colt and Ruger folk? Can't put them on unemployment. Unemployed doctor? Send him to another hospital. Unemployed mechanic? Send him to another garage. But where would you send the unemployed gun person? You'd have to put all several million on vocational rehab to train them to do something else, right? How much will that cost? And then, as we are a republic and not a democracy, who's to stop the next president from UN-BANNING guns? Ooops. All that money down the drain.

My first thought is for a buyback program to work, you need cooperation from the people you are targeting...which will not happen on the macro scale in this nation. Don't make laws you can't enforce....because police going door to door trying to enforce a buyback is only going to escalate the situation...

Do I support a "Gun Buy-Back" Program?
Yes, BUT not in the same sense as Hell-ary and the rest of the "Gun-Grabbers" are talking about.
I think there should be a "buy-Back" program in place for those that WANT to get rid of their guns, but don't want or don't have the time to go though the rig-a-ma-roll of selling them personally should have an option to just take them to a PD and sell them.
BUT IN NO WAY SHOULD THIS BE A MANDATORY PROGRAM!!!
