Actually, I disagree. My plan is to get rid of the guns people do not value highly, and to give them something they place a higher value on. Guns they are willing to turn in are also the guns that they might sell second-hand, or secure less carefully than their treasured (__________). Sure, there will still be a black market, but why don't we incentivize people to get rid of those weapons in another way? Give them 200% retail value if they melt it down, instead of 10% of retail value to that dodgy dude on the corner, or in the back room of the gun show. Let's decrease the inventory of these guns first. Then we can deal with helping people make better decisions about safety, storage, and appropriateness of any class or type of weapon.
