57. On the note of an armed populace...

...it doesn't seem this measure really addresses that. Ok, shops have to turn in their inventories and civilians are encouraged to register the ones they already own. Some shops will probably unload as much inventory as possible knowing they have a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting them back whatever the gov't promises. Most civilians will just keep theirs out of the registry and wait for this "year" to expire and see what happens. Be very interesting to keep note on how this progresses over the next few months.
