The NRA suppresses voluntary gun buybacks for image reasons

Evidence

In a show of power, he asserted, “[W]e’ll pursue it either through litigation or legislation” (DaRonco, 2012). Gun promoters would not welcome images of long lines of people turning in their guns. This effort to suppress a voluntary benign activity that is privately funded appeared to be more concerned with image management than with gun preservation. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1238
