Guns At Buyback Ends Up Back On Streets In 16-Year-Old Hands

About this video

Colion argues that gun buyback programs are ineffective PR stunts and potentially dangerous scams. He breaks down a reported Chicago incident where a Glock turned in at a police buyback program in 2023 allegedly disappeared from the station and was later found in the possession of a 16-year-old. Colion contends that these programs fail to remove crime guns from circulation and may even re-arm criminals, while distracting from what he describes as real solutions like prosecuting and incarcerating offenders.

Key takeaways

• Colion claims gun buyback programs are performative and do not reduce gun violence, as the weapons collected are typically old, broken, or decoy guns rather than crime-involved firearms
• He reports on a Chicago case where a Glock submitted to a buyback allegedly vanished from a police station and reappeared in a teenager’s hands a year later, which he presents as evidence of systemic failure or corruption
• Colion criticizes Chicago’s lawsuit against Glock while alleging the city’s own buyback programs may be inadvertently rearming criminals, calling for enforcement and prosecution instead
