My sons friends family is 2 doors down i ask her to call the police.. her husband comes home (he knows more then i do) pops the clip out and i see bullets and he says there was one in the chamber.... there was talk of a young fellow dressed in cammo searching the grass...the police take the gun away...

if you say there are not too many guns .. well you are just plain wrong.
You make an astounding projection of (il)logic to think that your anecdotal experience can reasonable be projected to justify a conclusion that there are "too many guns."

Too many for what?

Too many for whom?

Too many where?

One mishandled firearm that you have stumbled across in your entire lifetime is statistically irrelevant.

You took the proper action in turning it over to the police.
