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.”
Crime falling across Australia
4 March 2012
Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Justice Jason Clare today released the Australian Institute of Criminology’s (AIC) annual report into crime trends which shows the crime rates continue to fall across most major categories.
“This is a good result for law enforcement agencies across the country, but we still have a lot more work to do – the recent shootings are proof of that,” Mr Clare said.
“That’s why a couple of weeks ago I announced that the Australian Crime Commission would conduct a National Intelligence Assessment of the illegal firearm market and its links to gang activity in Australia.
“The Federal Government and State and Territory Governments are also working together on nationally consistent legislation to tackle criminal organisations.”
The key statistics in the AIC’s Australian Crime: Facts and Figures report are:
Break-ins have been cut by about half since 1996;
Car theft has dropped by about 61 per cent over the past decade;
The overall number of violent crimes decreased in 2010 except for the offence of kidnapping and abduction;
Of the five categories of violent crime, four recorded a drop in the number of victims between 2009 and 2010 – homicide, assault, sexual assault and robbery;
The most common weapon used in homicide in 2009–10 was a knife. Knives were involved in 39 per cent of all homicides;
Firearms used in 13 per cent of all homicides;
There has been a 27 per cent drop in the number of homicides between 1996 and 2010, with a drop of 11 per cent between 2009 and 2010;
The homicide rate is 1.2 per 100,000 population;
The number of victims of robbery in 2010 is the lowest on record since 1996, with 14,582 victims. Robbery victim numbers peaked in 2001 with 26,591 victims;
Murder and sexual assault occurred most frequently within residential settings - 61 percent of murders occurred in a residential dwelling and 63 percent of sexual assaults occurred in a residential dwelling;
Assault rates decreased from 801 per 100,000 people in 2009 to 766 per 100,000 in 2010;
In 2010, there were 17,757 recorded sexual assaults, down from 18,807 the previous year;
The rate of fraud victimisation dropped by 11 per cent from 2009 to 2011 and, since peaking in 1998-99, has declined by 35 per cent;
In 2009–10, the offending rate for people aged 15 to 19 years was almost four times the rate for all other offenders (6,751 compared with 1,821 offenders per 100,000);
In 2009–10, 2,767 arrests involving heroin were made – an 81 percent decrease in arrests over the past decade;
In 2009–10, cannabis accounted for the highest number of drug-related arrests with 57,170 arrests - an increase of three percent from 2008–09; and
In 2009-10 the number of cocaine arrests increased by 47 per cent rising to 1,244 from 848 in 2008-09 but cocaine arrests remain lower than for any other drug type.

It is a sellers market out there.

Load up on all the ammo you can afford to buy. Its going to be a long 4 years, and depending on where you live in relation to the pro Utopian series of urban clusters across the nation, things may get very dicey indeed.
We truly are in a prelude to civil war between Utopians ( fascists ) and Constitutional Patriots.
The coming civil war is being created by Utopian fascists who are now in power.It will not be between North and South, but between Utopian Fascists and Constitutional Patriots , with the geographic lines of the civil war being around Urnban clusters of Utopians who wish to fight and die for their cause.These Utopians are now working themselves up into a frothing tizzy and will emerge from their hives in violence, blaming ordinary citizens for the violence and directing the military to confiscate weapons being used by Patriots in self defence to the mobs of Utopians who no longer receive entitlements because Obama has destroyed the economy ( its the plan , you see.)
Committees of Safety should be forming all across the contry to protect the Constitution and also to protect our schools and hosppitals from the crazy gun confiscators whose gun free zones apply to everyone else except themselves.( Note that the Obama daughters go to a school protected by 7 armed guards and a cadre of Secret Service Agents. But by the sweet everlasting, school kids in places like Sandy Hook do not deserve them, according to the Utopians. Thats exactly why we have a second amendment, and it is exactly why we will keep it.)
I don’t see it as clearly established, and not sure what you mean by ‘social phenomenon’ that just sounds like a polite term for a couple of sick punks who can’t function on their own and probably hang out to go to the toilet together as well.
Multiple eyewitness testimonies confirm that this second man was handcuffed and taken to a police cruiser. We're being told that the other shooter is Adam Lanza, who may or may not have killed his mother on his way to Sandy Hook, his old elementary school. This shooter was "masked" so there is as yet no evidence placing the 20-year-old at the scene.
The police also told the press they were "looking for a red or maroon van with its back window blown out", which again suggests that there was more than one perpetrator.
And then any mention of any second shooter just dropped out of the news. From the follow up stories I read it seems that report was a mistake?
I begin to think that the left is trying to push conservative America into rebellion in order to send in the jackboots, just like the lurid over the top media coverage is providing the attention and motivation for copycat killers. The left is generating more incidents in order to advance their agenda of tyranny.
The totalitarians are salivating.
HHC’s husband.
“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.”
First off, I paid over a grand for my gun, and if they think I’m going to take a loss on it so some pussy doesn’t have to worry about wetting his pants, they’re nuts.
Second, I’ve always thought of the government as the mafia, and it’s always nice of them to prove me right.
The progressives' New Normal ruling elite ordain that inalienable rights are religion-connected and therefore unacceptable and unconstitutional.. only human rights granted to the masses by the New Normal ruling elite are legal.
All rise..
And where are the funds for the buyback program lingo ome from? From our tax $$$s of course or they’ll borrow more money. Either that or we’ll find out what all those new DHS vehicles are for when they storm troop the houses and try to take ‘em away.
I’ll take some too. A couple ARs, a few handguns, and a shotgun or too. A nice elk rifle wouldn’t hurt either.
Hey Diane, disarm the military and law enforcement first, then we’ll talk.
Twenty Trillion dollars placed in my off-shore bank account, and they can buy one of my guns back.
Now I have to decide if it will be the Nylon 66 or the Ruger 10-22..............
You're right, nobody and I mean nobody, who posts on the internet, is anonymous.
I remember vividly that day that I tragically lost all my guns in that tragic boating accident on Lake Michigan. They will have to do some serious diving to find them.
I live in Illinois and that FOID card only allows you to own guns, it doesn't mean you actually own one.
I lost mine in a boating accident in Lake Michigan, a very deep lake.
If he offers $5 million, I might part with my old .32 which is showing signs of wear and tear. The rest will remain.
I’ll be more than happy to turn in one of my pieces for a $1,000 coupon good at Springfield Arms.
Problem is they don’t stay bought....
Think of Fast and Furious in this context and it all starts to make sense.
Not gonna happen, DiFi. Shove it where the sun don`t shine.
Always entertaining are these “ideas” from those who have taxpayer-paid security at their disposal.
