I gave away an sks last year. If the state were buying them, to get them out of circulation, I definitely would have taken the money. Could have been $20 bucks, don't care, sold. Twenty bucks is more than zero bucks.
It had sentimental value to me, once upon a time. There's a pic here on the boards of me in my green checkered keffiyah holding my first son (third try is the charm!) in one hand and the rifle in the other. Some kid tried to kill me with that gun. I stepped over his dead body and took it for a souvenir.
Nobody was (or was ever) going to come for that gun. Even if they did I wouldn't have given it to them. Banning it without some sort of compensation would have cemented it's value in my mind. It's not like I could have gotten another one like it.
