That would never happen. The closest I could imagine is a national gun buyback program with the government giving substantial amounts of cash for each gun handed in. I think people would be surprised at just how many guns would be turned in for such a program.

Gun owners do not deserve handouts like this.

Tax payers should not be forced to pay off costs like this.

Take their guns away without payment. It is the only sensible way to do it.

How is giving money to people after taking their property a handout?

The only time in US history that there was a mass seizure of property without compensation, it was after a civil war.

Slavery is morally reprehensible, so slave owners should not be allowed compensation (and indeed, they did not receive compensation).
Guns are also morally reprehensible, so gun owners should not be allowed compensation either.

This is basically the Is-Ought problem in a political context. It doesn't matter if you think something is immoral. The only thing that matters is political reality. For the slaves to be freed, over 700,000 Americans had to die in a country of about 30,000,000 people. In a country of 325,000,000 people, that means that over 7,000,000 would die in a modern civil war.

Solid is okay with 7 million people dying so that other people can have their guns taken away. Solid is a Donut Boy and needs to Read More about history. One day Solid will be an Adult and he'll learn to stop making Sophomoric arguments.
