Who said he’s doing it to appease leftists? I imagine the poor kid has been traumatized by this whole ordeal and wants nothing to do with the gun anymore. I imagine he now has, or will have, some PTSD from killing two people and being in jail etc.
It’s a parallel to why I don’t believe gun show stories about a combat veteran smuggling home their pistol or service rifle...quite apart from issues of accountability, I think most who had actually “seen the elephant” wanted to put the bad memories behind them, and turned in their weapons hoping never to see or think of them again.

Perhaps. He does seem to be very sensitive. I hope he can get over it quickly.
