I think this would be what an outstanding citizen should do. Look at the time and effort that responsible gun owners go to in order to comply to the law and insure public safety. I wish all good citizens were this diligent. It would only prove we take public safety seriously.
However, we are now faced with a conundrum. By turning in firearms, are we actually making individuals and society less safe? Therefore we are jeopardizing public safety. The perplexity of it all, eh?
