Chicago mayor, Rahm Emanuel announced a $250,000 fund to support church and community sponsored gun buyback programs in Chicago. This plan comes in the wake of Chicago’s already stringent regulations on gun stores, including an “assault weapons” ban and a “violence tax” on guns and ammunition.
Similar programs have been initiated in various cities in California, Arizona, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and New Jersey. And while the number of weapons exchanged for cash cards varied depending on the city, statistics show that in all cases, these buy back programs have mostly failed to reduce gun violence. In a city like Chicago, where there have been 2,439 shooting victims this year alone, it doesn’t sound like a place you want to live and be unarmed.

Vote him out.
Lol
I guess there’s not enough killings in Chicago for this idiot criminal. If you sell your gun to these jackasses your just as big of an idiot.
I don’t think to many bad guys will be in that line. Wake up Chicago, GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!
thugs dont sell their guns they use them
Liberal loonies
then watch as those guns ‘bought back’ mysteriously vanish and are back on the street in just a few short weeks
And, how is that working out for you, mayor?!? Please Michigan, do not follow in his footsteps.
Liberalism is a mental disorder………this won’t have amy effect in reducing gun deaths or crime……..
Trade in hot, and worn out weapons,and get new updated arms! Bangers will love this one!
