Oz gun buyback was a classic case.
Trade in a Krico semi auto .22 ($350 retail), and you got $200 for it being used.
Trade in an SLR L1A1, which was illegal to possess in the first place, and the "reward" was $7,500.

Yeah, the same people who complain that we bail out the dumb !@#$ in the first place will complain again because we are taking away their right to shoot themselves in the feet.

That's all well and good when your actions affect no one but yourself. When they affect everyone, it's a little more complicated. There has to be a compromise, and no matter what it is, someone's going to be mad. Can't talk about freedom without acknowledging that as well.

That's the whole point of a gun buyback: to reduce the supply of illegal firearm that can do massive damage, not the classic collector items.
I don't think people would use an antique revolver to rob a gas station if an AK47 is easily available.

I happened accross a site looking up Aussie's GC laws, and I must say, your anti-gun whacko's over there are almost far worse than ours.
I'll take an FAL
They're not that expensive over here, and are legal to own.
AN FAL is considered a collectors item by most

I believe a revolver, antique or not, would be much preferable to a criminal. An AK47 cannot be easily hidden in a pocket prior to robbing a gas station. This is why the vast majority of criminals choose handguns instead of bulky long guns.
