March 7, 2008, Newsletter Issue #108: Guy Buy-Back Programs

Tip of the Week

If you have a gun and don't want it anymore, consider getting rid of it safely through a community buy-back or amnesty program. This is an important step in ensuring child gun safety in your home. Buy-back days are designated times when people can turn their guns in to local police with no questions asked and have them destroyed. In exchange for the guns, some local programs offer small monetary incentives or gift certificates. If you don't want the gun anyway, this is a good alternative to purchasing gun safety equipment. While research has not proven whether these programs are effective in the fight against gun violence, if one life is saved in the process, they are worth the effort. To find out if a buy-back program exists in your area, call your local police station.
