Makes a few politicians feel good and perhaps fools some of their constituents.
I think fewer "unwanted" guns being turned in means they won't get stolen and used in crimes, won't be disposed of in ways that could lead to them being found and used, and certainly WON'T be found by their children and used. (one of the reasons given was they didn't know how to safely store them)

Fewer guns is better - for me. As I said, it is small to the point of insignificant. But it is a reduction.
