Cecil Adam's column today is about gun buybacks do they work. (spoilers: no)
"On the unlikely assumption that the number of gun deaths is strictly proportional with the number of guns, the typical buyback reduces the death toll by one-thirtieth of one corpse."

Part of me has to feel just a wee bit sorry for people who fall for gun buy backs but another part of says, "Why didn't you do some research and see how much the handgun is before selling for $50 (anyone ever actually seen even a .22 for this cheap?) or a long gun for $100". I pity the fool who thinks gun buy backs do any good.
