No it is not. Well intentioned but we know what the road to Hell is paved with.

Really, most of these guns are held by guys who have no idea that they even require registration, and it's doubtful that very many of them would come up with the documents required for registration. The long view is, in my opinion, that the years after an amnesty period would make it impossible to avoid prosecution when these weapons do finally come to light. After all, they had an amnesty in 1968, and then another in 2011(or whenever) so failure to register them during either of these amnesty periods would be clear evidence that they were illegally held and the owner should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Just let the existing laws alone. Any unregistered guns can be cut up and the parts salvaged, and the receivers could then be used to build semi's as we do every day.
