The catch is.....who determines the value of the gun to be surrendered?

Microprinting will solve nothing. Any thug can go anywhere, pick up a handful of brass and throw it on the ground at a crime scene. Now you have dozens of suspects.

Most guns used in crimes are stolen or a POS throw away gun that gets used once and dumped. Stupid to use it more than once. If I were to use a gun in a crime, it would be a pool of molten metal an hour later.

True, but it can still be valuable. As an investigative tool, a finite pile of brass can produce a finite number of suspects--leads, instead of a direct link, but still leads. More importantly, if the investigators can match a piece--any piece, regardless of how many are there--of brass to a suspect at some point, that can be introduced as evidence at trial. Having a pile of random brass is also useful as it shows premeditation.

Use a revolver.
