It's a great idea in concept but it wouldn't fly. So the date comes around and the gun owner doesn't show up. What happens then? Police go knocking on peoples doors and arresting them? Or forcibly taking their guns away? The huge klaxon horn at the NRA headquarters just started blaring.

Ok, I get what you are saying now. Suppose this could work.

can somebody explain why though? cause just saying "won't work" is not much fun
Logistics and the fact there's already billions of unregistered guns out there. And again, this simply would never see the light of day in the US.

Nah, go with a semi-automatic pistol that can hold upwards of 15 rounds.

In CA we can only use 10 round mags. Really cool to quickly blow off a large number of shots and it's really quick to swap out mags. Barrel guns hold either 5 or 6 rounds and are a bit of a pain to reload relatively speaking.

Get a glock and one of these:
