Tell Us: Buying Back Illegal Guns?

The biggest problem is that federal agencies in the Baltiwash area replace their agents' guns every year, whether it's necessary or not. The old guns go to dealers in Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia who often make unscrupulous deals with NYC area criminals. Using straw buyers, these crooks move the guns into New York's black market. Guns found in the hands of NYC area criminals frequently can be traced back to original owners who are federal agents. The problem is founded in the insatiable greed of the military/industrial complex and it is there that it needs to be addressed. It is absolutely ridiculous for agents to be replacing their weapons annually. This practice not only wastes our tax dollars, it puts our local citizenry and first responders at risk. Because the problem exists out of state, the only thing that can really be done about this is to address the issue at the federal level with an eye toward ending fraud, waste and abuse.
