Remember the smashing success of Cash for Clunkers? No? Never mind. This time, with the right people in charge, the government will succeed flawlessly - under budget and ahead of schedule. That's right, I'm talking about Firearms for Felons! What better way to get guns out of the hands of Americans who should never have been allowed to have them in the first place? That sentimental nonsense in the Constitution about the right to bear arms was written way back then; Firearms for Felons is a program for the 21st century!

It's very simple - even someone who clings bitterly to his guns and religion could understand it. You take a gun that you paid several hundred dollars for but were denied access to until your background check cleared (sorry about those times the computer was down and you couldn't get your gun, but every now and then even the government doesn't quite come through on time). You go to a Firearms for Felons receiving center near you, which you can find on the BATFE website. You receive fully $25 for your firearm, which you shouldn't have, and - voilà! - another gun has been removed from the general populace and our streets have been made safer, as if by magic.

Then a highly trained ATF agent, who is more competent to possess a firearm than you are, searches a database of known criminals - say, a drug dealer or a human trafficker. He then sells your gun to the criminal for a profit, which helps reduce the national debt. In result, not only are the streets safer, but the government is richer so it can finance even more similarly enlightened programs.
