>>>I think it is very tragic that 26 people died in Sandy Hook. In the early morning hours of April 4, 2013, the Connecticut General Assembly passed new restrictions to the state's existing assault weapons ban. Governor Dannel Malloy signed them into law later the same day. The law banned the sale or purchase of magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition like those used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and required universal background checks for all firearm purchases. So, apparently something was done, at least in Connecticut....

>What would you do for the X number of Americans who unlawfully own guns right now? For those who have broken the law to obtain a firearm, would you charge them?

In the UK there is an occasional 'amnesty' where people owning unregistered (i.e. illegally owned) firearms are allowed to turn them in at any police station without fear of persecution.
