Section 8

Section 8 informs the public that those who already own the banned firearms will have to turn them in or face legal penalties. Section 8 reads:

Persons already owning any of the above banned firearms, and who do not fall into the legal groups of restricted firearms owners, will have one month from the ratification of this Amendment to turn in their firearms for destruction by local law enforcement. These local authorities may organize a gun buy-back program to assist in this effort.
