Hey Everyone... Just wanted to try and clarify on some of your concerns regarding this program. The last time we had a buyback was in 2009 and it got over 130 guns off the street. At the time of this posting, I don't know what kind of guns they were...illegal guns, old guns...don't know. But we certainly do not expect a huge turnout of law abiding, gun owning citizens wanting to give us their guns for a 50 dollar gift card. Nor do we expect any lifelong criminals that use a gun as they commit crimes, to turn in their guns either. But this program was NOT funded by any taxpayers. This is a program that is funded by federally granted seized assets. This money was provided for us to continue the buyback program in an attempt to get more guns off the streets. And as cliche as it may sound...even if we get just one gun off the streets, we're going to continue this program. We certainly hope it helps. But thank you for voicing your concerns. We do hear you.

So they aren't expecting to get guns from law abiding gun owners, and are also not expecting to get guns from criminals. I'm not sure what is left for them to buy.
