Responsible gun owners have a duty to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. If you are forced to surrender your guns against your will make sure they are useless. Just in case they get lost on their way to be destroyed. For safety.
A dab of JB weld in the chamber should do the trick. Once the bolt closes, it ain't ever shooting again.
EDIT: To all the folks saying "Muh 1776!"... Only a small percentage of Americans went to war with the redcoats. A lot of people comply, for many reasons. This is for them, retailers especially, they can at least guarantee these guns don't go to Ukraine, Syria, ISIS, Gangbangers, etc.
I like the PAL program. Keeps out crazies and gangbangers, one day course, good content, not expensive. $12 a year to renew, it's second photo ID. Good deal. Hunters course is a one time thing. Cheap. Useful, basic info.
I do think we need some protections enshrined in law, proper protections, with clear language about self defense. Roll the laws back a few years at least. Decades even. The world is getting more dangerous by the day, time to have an honest national discussion about it.
They should add an optional self defense section to the PAL training program.
