One speaker who testified says destroying voluntarily-turned-in weapons received’t resolve the difficulty as a result of criminals wouldn’t flip them in within the first place.

Others say the proprietor of the gun ought to have a say in what occurs to them when they’re turned in.

A person opposing the invoice says he sees hypocrisy on the opposite facet, whereas these in favor say present legal guidelines don’t successfully cast off the weapon.
