Twenty-five dollars for rifle magazines that carry more than 10 rounds, one-hundred dollars for revolvers, pump and bolt action weapons, two-hundred dollars for semi-automatic weapons and five-hundred dollars for full-auto weapons.
Thing is, that semi-auto pistol mostly likely cost more than she got back. Unless it’s old and worn out, not worth it. And, a fully automatic weapon? That would most likely be illegal to possess.
The Mayor and Police Commissioner say the gun buyback program is another tool in the waged war against violent crime some research shows gun buyback programs are not effective in reducing violent crime in urban settings.
Mayor Pugh told FOX45, “Our point here is, there are guns on the streets of our city. We are signaling folks out there, we don’t care if its grandpa’s gun or your gun, we want it.”
What they mostly get back are guns that were stolen. They give the thieves money, then they steal more guns.
