A gun buyback program is one where the government purchases guns from private citizens. The goal of these programs is to reduce the number of guns owned by private citizens. In most gun buyback programs the police are the agents buying the guns. In 2019 Presidential candidates Joe Biden, Beto O’Rourke, Kamala Harris and Julian Castro each proposed a mandatory gun buyback program where the federal government would purchase AK-47’s and AR-15’s from private citizens. In the past U.S. gun buyback programs have been implemented by state and city governments.

They can not buy back what was never theirs. Additionally, these programs have proven to be a colossal waste of resources.
@6K36GJHIndependent4yrs4Y
The only way to do this is to majorly mark up the value of assault weapons and give the people who bought them high buyback incentives. People who buy assault weapons will probably go and give the money back to casinos or cigarette companies.
