Would think its more like likes of parents who 14 year olds have stolen slug guns that will get handed in instead of pistols but might save a few neighbourhood cats getting shot at.

I agree. About 15 years ago when I was still living in the UK the cops did an amnesty and to an extent it worked. Within the space of a couple of months hundreds of illegal firearms were handed in. Believe it or not at my local copy shop someone walked in and handed in a ww2 cannon.

You are never gonna stop the people that really want a gun from getting one but if it means even 1 illegal gun is handed in does that not make it worth it? Might stop someone who for whatever reason ended up with one but doesn't want it from doing something stupid. Just my opinion
