Related: About this forumTYT: Fox News Freaks Over Latest Gun Control Idea
Tacoma's police department has a new plan to help reduce gun violence, setting up anonymous drop boxes where residents of Tacoma can drop off guns that they no longer want. A representative of the police department said the main intent and goal is just to get these weapons off the street. Before you begin commenting below understand that you already can do something very like this in Tacoma and in areas around the country.
Do you think gun collection boxes can be effective?
Is Fox News overreacting about this plan to collect old guns?

Do you mourn their little souls?

Much safer under the care of the authorities. Your "point" is dull and useless.

be able to figure out a way to profit from this.
Since their only goal is to make profits, regardless of how many 6yr old children have to be shot in the head to do it, maybe they can encourage people to give away their guns, then coordinate some sort of event that scares the shit out of everyone and they will have to all go out and buy new ones.

Useless scrap metal.

Kind of a swords to plow shears type deal.
