- makecheck 9y agoIt would have to be structured as a voluntary turn-in with a benefit that people would be crazy not to take advantage of (e.g. some gigantic tax relief).
- TomK32 9y agoYeah, don't try or even think about it, not worth the risk... But serious, why not start a voluntary buy-back program and see if gun owners respond to that. Or how about a law that makes it mandatory to offer the gun/ammo to the government when a private owner wants to sell? Private sales are a huge problem: no background checks. Stopping them while still giving owners a chance to sell could do some good.
