and of course the american manchildren have to make it all about 9/11 - the only tragedy the world has ever known.

9/11 was GenX's JFK assassination. Nobody of that age will ever forget it (until alzheimers).

How 'bout a bounty? Greed always works.
Say, a fat 100k per weapon recovered, call this snitch line, anonymity guaranteed, bounty paid NQA.

Cost-wise,overall, it is a bargain.

Yeah, until they start framing innocent people to get that money.
Remember Afghanistan when the warlords were pointing fingers at each other and calling each other Al Queada for the sweet sweet US dollar?

They only get paid if the cold iron is recovered- which solves the false witness problem. Guns to Gold, as it were.
Hah, there's the name for it- Gold for Guns. Pay 'em in gold-even more attractive.

You might even see the cache holders themselves selling off their stock to the gendarmes and blowing town with the sweet sweet coinage.

If a few assholes accidentally get SWATTED, well, there's always gonna be some collateral damage.
I still think it would work.

The middle east has always been at war and turmoil. A good reason for why this is is because religion, which dominates the region, can be manipulated to be extremist rather easy. Kurds, sunnis, shiites, they hate eachother, along with other religions and cultures clashing in the same place because the mid east has been a central point of world history for centuries. Think of it as like the US without the ability to meld everything together.

It'd be interesting to see how that would play out, but you can't just "ban" how people take an ideology without completely removing the practice of the faith itself, and that historically hasn't gone down well.

Also most have family members back in the war torn original places.
So they won't rat out others, incase word gets back and their family is killed.
Bounties may work in some situations like non-war mafia like organizations. Not refugee/war/terrorist ones.

The middle east was an Eden of peace and prosperity and harmony until the nasty white man came in and spewed imperialism everywhere. They ruined everything with their nasty antibiotics and electricity and vaccines and poo poo.

Well, I didn't say it was a perfect plan.

But every single rifle off the streets is another incident avoided- and these incidents are very,very expensive when all the costs are included.

No it was relatively peaceful after the Ottomans conquered most of the region, killing or converting a lot of the people that would have destabilized their empire.

It's a bad plan because unless the bounty price is less than the cost to smuggle in or procure guns you're creating a revenue stream for bad dudes. If the bounty is that low no one would take the risk associated with claiming the bounty.

That's a budgeting question and secondary.

The overall cost to the society of these attacks are so high you could make it a cool mill a gun and still be in the black overall.

There's gotta be a way to make this work without making France a gun magnet.

A similar theory:

Someone once computed that it would be far cheaper for 'Murka to buy the entire South American cocaine crop at the source and burn it than to prosecute the War on Drugs.
O'course you know why that's not gonna happen.

Then the terrorists just claim the bounty themselves and use it to buy more guns. Just makes the situation worse.
