This is actually one of the few programs concerning firearms that targets criminals specifically, rather than law-abiding gun owners.

The problem is that the snitch gets $1,000 for an ARREST, not a conviction.
How would you like to get arrested on a regular basis for something that you've done nothing wrong about? Just the hassle, court-fees, lawyer costs along would be a nightmare.
