There have been a number of “Gun Buy
Back” programs sponsored by various churches and government units.
There is no evidence based on such
research as is “reliable and valid” and with a “high level of
confidence” (If, and only if, you do not know the meaning of those
term, look them up!) that would support any position that such
programs reduce the criminal misuse of guns.
There are some “hints” that some
have sold “junk guns” to obtain money to obtain modern firearms.
Since such “buy back programs” do not ask for ID, there is no way
to determine if any of those sellers were or become such criminal
mis-users.
The question also arises: “Are the
gun buyers in violation of those laws, regulations and rules which
must be obeyed by gun stores?”.
