Weapons Trade in programs

Tweet

I had a dream, last night, which made me think about these weapons trade in programs. Programs where they allow people to safely hand over their weapons to their government, for pay, or free services of some sort. Where the weapons are either melted down, and recycled for non war uses, or they are put into the Countrie Governments, Uses. I was thinking about this. I wondered if there was any programs like that going on in Iraq, where also those who had turned in weapons, had like a Standard government soliders vowing to protect their area? I think if they did something like this... Maybe this could help Iraqi improve their government, get more weapons off the streets, just do like a temporary confiscation of all weapons of all citizens and either lock them up with IDS and names, until the government gets their law enforcemtn etc in order, or where the citizens could sell their weapons to their own government, or join their own government as soliders. There has be incentives the Iraqi government can offer that are stronger than the incentives the militia can offer, if they want to draw people out of the militias back into the government as citizens... So what is anyone's thoughts on weapons Trade in programs, or Weapons Buy back programs. Do you think they have an effect or work if they do it the right way? ... Or instead of confiscation, they could require all Iraqis who wanted to keep their weapons to go through a licencing process, and keep them..... Is another way. As really We do not want to be taking arms from the good guys, and giving the bad guys more control.... Just all things to think about... In trying to help flip turn the tables, to be less violant, and more peaceful...or maybe trade in weapons for like some form of Gooey gun, I saw they had these interesting guns where it covers a person in a foam like substance and hardens to trap them without harming them... and then the law enforcement could restrain them, and take them into custody, and no one killed or hurt... Not sure what they called those things though. But it was interesting thought. - DNatureofDTrain
