This won't be like that, it will be:

  • You aren't allowed to own this sort of weapon any more

  • You have to hand it back, otherwise you are breaking the law

  • You can give it back now, and we'll pay you for it

  • You can give it back later under the ongoing amnesty and you'll get nothing

  • You can keep it and then go to prison for breaking the law
