People are always going to slip through the cracks of programs like that. Even during the national AWB of ‘94-‘04 we had: North Hollywood Shooting, Columbine, and the DC Sniper, and this was at a time when the modern loneliness problem didn’t exist and AWs were restricted. Before the AWB expired there were something like 10,000 AR-15s in circulation. Now there are 20,000,000 in circulation. Ain’t no putting that genie back into the bottle.

Yeah, there would have to be a MASSIVE buyback campaign and I am not sure if the federal government would have enough money to compensate people for what they think their guns are worth.

There'd also probably be a bunch of Waco/Ruby Ridge-style events if something like that (somehow) managed to make it past a senate filibuster.
