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.

With my tax dollars ??? I DON’T THINK SO
Yeah good luck. All they erver get are old stuff.
Where are they getting the money??? They are broke!!
Yes, they will love it when everyone is disarmed…thugs will win!!
Dunce.
How much drug money are the gangs contributing to this effort? Much easier to control the neighborhood without those pesky guns around.
this goes to show you that a corrupt government will spend your tax dollars so a armed thug may kill you,as we sure know thats the demo c**p way.buy guns drug free zones and gun free zones is what keeps demo craps safe.
