Authorities purchased 191 guns at the city of
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that grandmothers, hunters and
young men and woman took the city up on its anonymous, no-questions-asked gun
buyback offer on Saturday.
All of the $12,500 in prepaid Visa cards set aside
for the first of three buyback events had been used up within the first two
hours of Saturday's event.
Serial numbers were checked on the guns, and one
handgun turned out to be stolen. It will be put into police evidence, and
police will attempt to contact the registered owner.
Police Chief Ray Rael says
he'll have to seek more money from the City Council if future buyback events
are as popular as Saturday's.
