With all of the violence lately in Brunswick and the Golden Isles, the call for gun buybacks has begun. The cry is "to bring in your guns, and we'll buy them from you. Let's take illegal guns off the streets!" The problem with this concept is that while it looks good and feels good to politicians, it has no effect on crime. Show me a study that proves the gun buyback programs work! Here's what happens:
people bring in malfunctioning weapons that haven't worked in years, and then the bad guys start stealing guns from honest hard working folks like us. Do you really think that the drug dealers and career criminals are going to voluntarily give up their heaters? Not gonna happen! Here's a better idea: let's start handing out guns to the honest folks so that they have a better chance at protecting themselves.
Make shooting lessons standard issue with the new weapons.
Some communities have passed laws stating that their citizens should be armed. A city filled with "Heroic Hectors" ready to really take a shot at stopping crime.
