It wasn't long ago police here used to hold auctions to sell all handed in/confiscated guns provided they were of legal configuration. Those days are gone, however most will say our firearms laws are actually pretty good in this day and age and crime with firearms pretty low.
That said international and internal pressure has put some storm clouds on the horizon, especially in the form of full registration of firearms.
For those that are interested in such things check out this webpage for the council of licenced firearms owners:
