Grab your AK and put it in a case, then go find a homeless person and take your AK and this person up to your State House, where upon receipt for the gun, they hand your homeless person $10k to get their life in order. Would you do it?

Absolutely not - my AK is an insurance policy on my personal freedom worth way more to me than 10,000.00 dollars.
Before you make the straw man that I care about guns more than the homeless - I'll save you the trouble and just admit that I care more about my right to own guns than I do the homeless. My personal gun collection would in dollar value buy a home in most places. Well over 100K in value.
I give plenty to charity and the government takes a good portion of my income by force and gives it to all manner of charity type causes - most of which are unnecessary, frivolous and poorly managed Republicans give away money to corporations and Democrats give it away to the poor in - It is just vote purchasing, plain and simple.
So I'll pose this question to you - if you could turn yourself in at the court house and in exchange for your personal freedom you could get the State to give 10K to a homeless person to turn their life around would you do it?
You go to a slave labor camp/prison for life but hey, you can help a homeless person change their life...
What? If you won’t you are heartless and selfish...
