Tacoma - doing more to protect your privacy when disposing of firearms

Go ahead and commit that crime and the city will help you dispose of it without fear of being identified.
Tacoma city officials want to create a drop box where people can anonymously turn in unwanted guns.
Their first challenge? Finding a place to put it.
The city already lets people turn in guns for destruction without getting their names on a police report. But there’s no way for people to anonymously surrender a firearm without calling the police to arrange a pickup, or unless they take the gun directly to a police station, officials said.
That’s where the drop box comes in: In theory, it would provide a secure receptacle where people can turn over firearms without talking to an officer or even being seen by police.
City officials suspect the proposed drop box might encourage more people to surrender their guns — especially young people who are the target audience for the city’s year-old gun safety campaign.

Why do they honestly think anyone who owns a gun will be against owning guns and just drop it off? Do they think people own guns and feel guilty about it and want to turn them in but feel like they'd get into trouble with the police? Since it's illegal to own a gun and all....
LIke you said..this will just be a place for someone who committed murder to dispose of the murder weapon.

I think it's more for some liberal whack job to take a gun owner's firearm and drop it off anonymously.

That should save anyone needing to dump a gun used in a murder from having to drive all the way to the Sound. Thereby burning less fossil fuels and saving a glacier from certain death.
Win-Win
