Members of Congress Propose a Federal Gun Buy Back Program

More signs members of Congress are scared about the political repercussions if they refuse to act to kill the Second Amendment. With more than $16 trillion in debt strangling our republic economically, 40 members of Congress want to spend more of your money to get guns out of the hands of the American people.

Breitbart (those people Dana Loesch are mad at) writes:


A letter from 40 members of Congress and directed toward House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) demanded a national gun buyback program yesterday. The letter was penned by Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL). “Gun buybacks have proven successful in communities across the nation,” the open letter to House colleagues reads. “Adding $200 million to the final compromise on the fiscal cliff could remove as many as one million guns from our streets.” Such a step, said the Congressmen, would be a “simple, immediate step we can take to assure the public we are committed to taking meaningful action.”

The Democrats also argued that the gun buyback program would be a form of stimulus: “Distributing funding to the states to run buyback programs using prepaid debit cards with a  three-month expiration date could provide a jolt to local economies that have stagnated in the wake of the recession and concerns over the fiscal cliff.”

Stimulus???
