Sen. Feinstein suggests national buyback of guns.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said that she and other gun control advocates are considering a law that would create a program to purchase weapons from gun owners, a proposal that could be compulsory.
“We are also looking at a buy-back program,” Feinstein said today in a press conference. “Now, again, this is a work in progress so these are ideas in the development.”
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., already discussed the possibility of a buy-back law for his state, but he made clear it would be a forced buyback.
“Confiscation could be an option,” Cuomo told The New York Times yesterday when discussing semiautomatic weapons. “Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it.”
Australia implemented a mandatory buyback program in 1996 following a mass shooting. “The law banned semiautomatic and automatic rifles and shotguns and put in place a mandatory buy-back program for newly banned weapons,” USA Today recalls. “The buyback led to the destruction of 650,000 gun.”
Some liberal activists want the policy imitated here. “That would be like destroying 50 million guns in America today,” the Center for American Progress’ Matt Miller wrote after noting that Australia eliminated 20 percent of the weapons in the country. “The Australian ‘outlaw and repurchase’ option is one approach. But if Congress balks at banning certain weapons entirely, it could make gun owners an offer they can’t refuse. Instead of $200 a gun, Uncle Sam might offer $500.”
Feinstein also said that that former President Bill Clinton had volunteered, on a phone call, to help her get a new gun law passed.
“[Clinton] was talking about the battle back in 1993 with the bill that, interestingly enough, was introduced and passed within the year fo 1993 and went into effect in 1994,” she said. “And, of course, he was president and the White House came alive and was very very helpful in enabling the passage of that bill both in the senate and in the House. So, to have him part of the team again is really quote special for us.”

It's never going to happen.
Not in my household. But then I haven't got kids or grandkids and I'm getting old. Gotta die sometime, so it'll be on my feet. Sucks, but I'm not too fond of the idea of gubbermint having all the guns.

Don't kid yourself, history repeats.
This is a case of the by who cried wolf, except that he boy is working for the wolf. The antis keep sending these things down the pike, so that nobody believes when the wolf is there, and they will do nothing about the wolf when he finally does show up.

When, in the history of the United States, has our government attempted to collect all of the weapons that it's citizens possess?

Why limit the history to the US.
The Brits have a right to arms--Article 7 of the Declaration of Rights of 1689. Yet, today the Brits are disarmed.

Because that's where I [we] reside. Apples to oranges, comparing the two.

They have. Remember Katrina. Why would you have to have a confiscation to believe that there could be a confiscation? These tyhings are not limited to the States, it's a human nature thing, governments, power, money, control, these things know no borders.

Hardly. Human nature is human nature. And, government has been eroding and denying rights since the dawn of government regardless of the continent.

Our government at the time(Britain) tried it a couple of hundred years ago. And during katrina the government at the time went, literally, door to door.

What happened during hurricane Katrina as far as gun collection goes?

That's true, but it's not like that's all it boils down to. While the Brits may have rolled over and allowed firearms to be all but non-existent in their country (and soon enough, sharp knives will be added to the list!), I don't believe that Americans would ever let that happen. Human nature, our culture; I think we would enter a Civil War Pt. II before we, as a country, let our government disarm us. But, that's all speculation and just based off of the number of 2A diehards I see on YouTube in their BDU's practicing extractions from their house in the 'burbs. Who knows how it would really go down, if at all.
