John,
They did that in Queensland, Australia. The law-abiding citizens turned in their weapons. The CRIMINALS did not. Violent crime shot upward in the first year. All the cops can do is put you in a body bag afterward. Anti-gun legislation succeeds in leaving the populace defensless in the face of criminal activity.
Definition: Criminal - someone who does not obey the law.
