[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16827736, member: 6727"] Kem laughed off claims by the Attorney General's Office that the Utica gun buyback program was a large success, [B]arguing such programs do nothing to reduce crime[/B]. "I'm sure handing over $21,000 in gift cards to some punk kid after getting a bunch of plastic junk was a rousing success," Kem said. "[B]Gun buybacks are a fantastic way of showing, number one, that your policies don't work, and, number 2, you're creating perverse demand[/B]. You're causing people to show up to these events, and, they don't actually reduce crime whatsoever." He makes an excellent point. Specifically that buybacks do NOT reduce crime. They do, though, provide opportunities for creative individuals. Not likely. I don't know about New York, but PA makes it clear that you don't have to identify yourself. The info below is from Philadelphia's buyback program. [HEADING=3][B]WHAT KINDS OF GUNS ARE ACCEPTED?[/B][/HEADING] We accept working handguns, semi-automatic weapons [B]and "ghost" guns[/B]. [HEADING=3][B]WILL I BE QUESTIONED ABOUT ANY WEAPONS I BRING TO TURN IN?[/B][/HEADING] No. [B]Our gun buybacks are no questions asked. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]You do not need to present ID[/COLOR] to turn in a weapon [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]or collect a gift card[/COLOR].[/B] [HEADING=3][B]WHAT HAPPENS TO THE GUNS COLLECTED AT GUN BUYBACK EVENTS?[/B][/HEADING] The weapons are immediately turned over the Philadelphia Police Department. All weapons are checked ballistically to see if any are evidence in unsolved crimes. Crime guns are retained as evidence. All other weapons are destroyed.
