As long as we're chewing on all the angles of this, the financial aspects of the Australian gun buyback are interesting.

About a year and a half, maybe two years in, they had spent ~$360M AUS on the program. People were turning in "nest egg" collections with multiple pieces easily worth four figures, getting $200 AUS for them. The "takings" aspect of it was significant. That got them an estimated 30 percent of the existing stock

The gun buyback programs have always sounded like a joke to me. Giving $100-$200 for a firearm, functioning or not. Pretty sure a number of us on this forum could come up with some non functioning / unwanted pieces to turn in. The financial drain on the taxpayers, and the zero impact on crime would be the perfect .Gov program. Let's say for instance, I have an old H&R revolver that is sitting unused because it has a broken spring I either can't source, or don't want to bother with. Taking the cash or gift card, has more value than the firearm. Turning it in has zero impact on crime. I guess the argument could be made that it still could be used in the commission of a crime, after it was stolen...

Despite attempts at reasoning with the tinfoil people on our side. you still occasionally have to deal with idiots like CA Dem congressman Eric Swalwell This is the guy who wants an mandatory buy back of so called “Assault Rifles” for a maximum of $1,000 each followed by active seizure and felony prosecution of the non compliant. When challenged on this online, the good congressman threatened to use nuclear weapons on any of his fellow citizens who resisted.

Well Eric, remember April 30, 1945.

Indeed. The chief one being what happens when a community of gun owners goes tribal. The shooting community in Australia decided the opinions of “those city people” didn’t matter. One day the old and grey gunnies woke up and realized a generation of hoplophobes ruled their country.

I read this and thought of Georgia. The state, not the country.

I think a bigger issue in ATL is migration both foreign and domestic.

Yes. But I also fear complacency and a tendency to underestimate ATL's influence on state politics.

I hate Illinois Nazis. Especially pusillanimous ones who hide behind pseudonyms and oblique, parenthetical statements.

That. I hadn’t forgotten.

I was born in Savannah and went to Georgia Tech. I am a native Georgian. Career took me to Atlanta - I work for a large corporation HQ'd downtown Atlanta and I swear it seems like I am the only person in that building actually from Georgia. The continuing growth of Atlanta by "immigration" from other states will overwhelm the Georgia that I grew up in.
