Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said that she and other gun control advocates are considering a law that would create a program to purchase weapons from gun owners, a proposal that could be compulsory.
âWe are also looking at a buy-back program,â Feinstein said today in a press conference. âNow, again, this is a work in progress so these are ideas in the development.â
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., already discussed the possibility of a buy-back law for his state, but he made clear it would be a forced buyback.

Her 2013 proposed gun-control legislation requires that "grandfathered weapons" (~900 guns) be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
- Background check of owner and any transferee;
- Type and serial number of the firearm;
- Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
- Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
- Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration (national gun database).

Every American will need permission from Federal, State and Local Government to purchase a gun. This effectively turns the 2nd Amendment into a privilege, not a right. Or, they might go for a forced-confiscation ("buy-back"), Aussie-style.
