And what would you do for all of the ones that are already in circulation? Confiscate them?

There are programs that already exist that allow people to voluntarily give up guns, including illegal ones without worrying about getting into any legal trouble, and receive something in exchange. Eventually stuff like that would greatly reduce the number of guns in circulation.

So, confiscate them.

That is not confiscating. It is providing incentives for people to voluntarily give up fire arms. There is no force or coercion involved.

So, if I choose not to, and kept my now-illegal firearms, there would be no legal repercussions whatsoever?

For law abiding citizens with legal firearms, the incentive already exists. It's money. You shouldn't have any problem selling your firearm if you want to get rid of it (unless it's a Hi-Point).

Clearly, not enough people want to sell their firearms for gun control advocates' satisfaction.

There are in some areas existing programs that allow people to dispose of illegal gun and receive like a gift card or something.

Would depend on what youd do with them and on the law. Like theres a difference between making something illegal and making something a criminal offense.

Would you want the police to do any follow up work on those firearms, like returning stolen ones to the rightful owners if possible?

I don't think being able to turn in an illegally modded firearm (like someone who sawed off a barrel in a moment of stupidity ) is that bad of an idea, but what about people turning in stolen firearms?

I'm talking about the context of TC's gun control policy. I'm well aware that we already have a voluntary gun buy-back program.

Yeah, around here they try to return stolen guns.

Id think that making that many people criminals suddenly would be a terrible idea. If theyd do something like tc suggested, letting current legal owners keep their guns if they wanted to would be good.
