That is a huge amount of tax payer money to commit. Massive. $200 per firearm would be a very, very conservative estimate. I think if that was the going rate on the buyback program that in itself would create a black market. For many range enthusiasts that $200 represents ammo costs for one day at the range.
Your average handgun in the states may retail for around $6-700 new. Rifles... hard to say, on average? Maybe $1500? Shotguns probably around the same as pistols... I think a 70% evaluation on your average firearm retail price puts the ballpark for buybacks at around $1000 a pop. Now this is talking about your most common, most available, cheapest lines of firearms. This is just a guess, it's really hard to say since firearms can run anywhere new from $1-200 up to what equates to a second mortgage.
I think using Australia's buy back price of $781 per is conservatively safe. By a fair margin.
