The mayor of the city of Miami is launching something he sees as “innovative” that would allegedly take guns off the streets and address “gun violence in America.”
Frances Suarez announced on Monday that his office is launching a “city-wide voluntary gun buyback program that will take guns off the streets and send them to Ukraine.”
The mayor also described the initiative as “really innovative” and noted that he had “never heard of anyone do this.”
In a press conference, Suarez peddled his new plan as an “ingenious idea” and sees it as an effective way to help cut down gun violence in the United States – by sending the same guns to Ukraine.
It is a wonder that nobody told him that in fact gun buybacks have happened before – in Australia and New Zealand – where law-abiding citizens had their guns confiscated and then reimbursed by their government.
The criminals, however, did not give up their guns and the result in both countries was a disarmed, vulnerable population, at the mercy of armed thugs and even worse, an armed government that they had no way to defend themselves against.
“Both with mass shootings and urban gun violence, to take guns off our streets, and give them to people who really need them, I think is brilliant–so, instead of buying back our guns to discard them, we’re going to be sending them to the war in Ukraine.” Suarez said.
Apparently, the event is a “a great way to show your support in the fight against gun violence,” and authorities claimed on the city of Miami’s official “Guns 4 Ukraine” page that “turning in a gun during the gun buyback provides the safety and security of knowing that the weapon will be properly disposed of or reallocated for use in support of Ukraine.”
Those who do decide to sell their guns, with a guaranteed “no questions asked,” can expect to only get a tiny amount of the actual value of the firearm.
Residents who turn in sidearms will receive a $50 gift card, a shotgun will get you a $100 gift card and if you happen to have a “high-powered rifle” which include AK-47s and AR-15s, expect to get a gift card for $150, despite these firearms ranging in price from $500 to over $2000.
It does not sound like much of an incentive to turn over those firearms for the measly amount offered, the only people who could make any money from these “no questions asked” deals, are thieves who steal other people’s firearms.
There is little to no plan detailing how this initiative will be conducted logistically, or how these firearms would make it to Ukrainian military forces.
As Interpol chief Jurgen Stock explained in early June, “Once the guns fall silent [in Ukraine], the illegal weapons will come. We know this from many other theaters of conflict. The criminals are even now, as we speak, focusing on them.”
This Liberal B/S has been tried before-many times. It will do nothing to stop the CRIMINALS who have been emboldened by LIBERAL POS Democrat policies in Demonrat run cities, that are lenient on CRIME.
Prime Example Chicago, NY, L.A.. Have the most restrictive gun possession laws in the country, yet the highest crime rates. ( those that trade liberty for security have NEITHER) ( Criminals love gun control it makes their jobs easier & safer) ( An armed man is a Citizen. A unarmed-disarmed man is a Subject & SLAVE) ( 911= Gov. sponsored dial a prayer)
Conservative States that have concealed carry, Have way less crime than the Liberal POS run cities & states.
The Constitution of the U,S. 1791 All Rights reserved. IT is not up for interpretation. What part of “Shall not be infringed” do these Liberal Demonrat Hacks not understand.
The U.S. Government has MURDERED /SLAUGHTERED more children ( 28) using the fbi/atf than any school shooting in history. IE: WACO & Ruby Ridge. Ponder on that DEMONRATS!
Well said, sir!
Sorry, I meant to add that the only way to alter the Constitution is by the AMMENDMENT PROCESS! You can not alter the Constitution or the meaning of any law by Legislating from the Bench, Attorneys General and District Attorneys by failing to implement laws and by Executive Mandates without Legislative Review and possible charges of SEDITION and TREASON.
If someone gets charged within Government for Treason, who’s going to prosecute them? Merrick Garland and the DOJ?
We need Governor DeSantis to step in and put an end to this Mad Marxist Maniac’s plan.
The founders of our country decided after the Constitution was passed that there were certain UNALIENABLE RIGHTS that the Constitution should strengthen and believed that in so doing these RIGHTS would stand forever as UNALIENABLE. Taken as a whole these UNALIENABLE RIGHTS were further strengthened by their being named as the BILL OF RIGHTS, RIGHTS to stand forever unaltered in order to PRESERVE THESE UNALIENABLE RIGHTS FOREVER to preserve them against all enemies foriegn and DOMESTIC! These RIGHTS are THE FOUNDATION THAT GUARANTEES FREEDOM AND LIBERTY for ALL CITIZENS! Those seeking to unconstitutionally infringe on any of these rights are at a minimum guilty of SEDITION and most probably TREASON as altering the Constitution by any method, including Legislated laws and Executive Mandates is Sedition and Treason.
If anybody’s stupid enough to follow this turd, they deserve what they get!
Don’t do it! They want to take our guns so they can do what they really want. That is to take our God given freedoms. That is why our forefathers created the second amendment, so that if the government tries to force it citizens into a tyrannical dictatorship the citizens has the right to say NO and take the government back. The Globalist knows this. The Globalist is destroying this mighty country from the inside out. If you are a licensed gun owner do not give up your arms because you are going to need them to fight for our freedom.
I wonder why the mayor doesn’t specify that he will buy back guns from criminals?
He only says he will buy them back from “everyday” citizens – the ones who would never think of using them criminally.
Is he so afraid of the criminal elements in society that he won’t ask them to turn in their guns?
Why not be direct about it? Ask those in society who feel that they will illegally use their guns to harm others to turn in their guns.
That won’t be done by this mayor, or any other politician with the power to issue that message, because that will shift the peoples’ attention to the right target for gun control. I can’t help but get the impression that these politicians who propose disarm the public, the law-abiding citizens, must have some financial or power/authority grab in mind. Is George Soros behind this mayor some way? Could be any one of the over 200 Soros organizations whose avowed purpose is to bring down the U.S. from within. Worth checking out…
Getting rid of all the guns now?
Who’s going to send weapons to us now when Americans need them, what with the police being de-funded and officers now resigning in droves.
We did thist once before. When during WW-2, it seemed likely that Germany was going to cross the channel and invade Britain.
The British then as as they have now had disarmed their citizens and an urgent appeal went out for arms from America. Private American citizens responded by generously donating their guns to our British cousins. It turned out that the guns were never issued, after all.
What do you suppose finally happened to them?
Nearly all of the American donors never saw their guns again. The “grateful” British government officials had them loaded on barges and dumped into the North Sea.
This organization is in violation of federal law , buying guns illegally for support of a foreign country.
