This video explains how recent executive orders by Joe Biden have effectively ended traditional gun buyback programs. By revamping guidelines for firearm destruction and requiring more thorough destruction of serialized parts, the DOJ has eliminated the business model of third-party companies that previously offered free destruction services in exchange for selling unregulated components.

This video discusses the legal implications of gun buyback and surrender events, highlighting instances where such events may violate state and federal laws.

This video discusses Kamala Harris's shifting stance on "assault weapons" buybacks.
