The “oh-I-can’t-ban-it-so-let-me-just-tax-it-out-of-existence” won’t work. It’s a prohibition through taxes, and it’s still a prohibition. It will be struck down.
The left is forking with fire here. The riots sealed the deal - guns are necessary. It’s really not a good idea to pursue this. I mean good forking lord - the same people that feel the election wasn’t quite on the up-and-up are the same people who are getting censored.... which are the same people with a shirt load of guns. A “buyback” will only be interpreted as a an attempt to disarm everyone before the real tyranny begins. And it’s not illogical to think the real tyranny would be coming, as that very same group has already been marginalized and censored.
