I did not say that a buyback program was the solution. (Nor did Australia limit themselves to a buyback program; it was part of a national effort.)
I asked why Australia didn't have the horrors that you predict would happen should Australian-like gun control laws be put into place in the US.
Your only answer seems to be that the US has too many guns, so therefore can't change. (Which sounds like a bank which is "too big to fail", so we have to keep feeding it taxpayer money.)
> that's the only way to get guns out of american hands
That's irrelevant. As I demonstrated, only about 1/3 of the guns got out of Australian hands. Why would anyone think those same laws would get 100% of the gun out of American hands?
