Of course not, but many did.
If anyone was to turn in a gun, that would reduce the numbers of assault weapons out there. I have to think that there would at least be some portion of the population that would willingly participate in some sort of buy-back program.
edit: If, as mentioned in a further post, old weapons would be grandfathered in without any sort of buy-back option, then it is quite possible that it would not significantly reduce the numbers of these weapons.
