There have been many posts about gun buy backs but no one has ever mentioned this paper:
Study Link
It's by Wallace Mullen of Michigan State University, written in May 2000. It's not about any buy back program in particular but it's a scientific study about the economics of buy backs. There's a lot of math but in general the conclusion is that gun buy backs actually increase the number of firearms in the area where buy backs occur. It's not a quick or easy read but very interesting.
