This is to erroneously suppose that "the antis" have anything but contempt for truth, facts, honest statistics, and so forth. We all know that there is an inverse relationship between gun ownership and crime, and that these buy-back programs, if analyzed in the cold light of day, might easily be proved to encourage violent crime by depriving probable victims of affordable implements of self-defense. It's a disgrace that big-city police departments participate in these charades, certainly knowing full well their futility, and faulty premise.
