The reason you’re going to get more for a gun at a pawn shop or gun shop is because they’re going to resell them. The idea with a government initiative would be to decommission the guns.
Now you had all of that energy and resource that went into making the gun + the energy required to destroy it vs letting someone who actually wants it, and it mentally OK using. And what if it’s a historically significant firearm? Trying to destroy guns is not going to get firearms owners on your side.
Opening up NICS so the average Joe selling private party can double check the person they’re buying it from would be a huge step forward. That’s a win win for both sides.

I don’t think Australia ever had “the right to bear arms” which is why that won’t fly well.
Plus Australia is an island. It’s a lot easier for that to work when your nearest neighbor is 100 miles away by boat
Should have stopped there. Better to have someone think you a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Ok, Australia ever had “the right to bear arms” which is why that won’t fly well.
Is that better for mr condescending? Do you have an actual response or are you just interesting in insults?
