City officials say the goal is to provide a
safe way for residents to dispose of unwanted firearms. Mayor David Coss has
been pushing for a gun buyback program. He says he believes such a program will
keep unwanted guns from falling into the wrong hands.
The city will be
partnering with Wells Fargo Bank to give out gift cards in return for
operational firearms. The city will pay $150 for handguns, $100 for rifles or
shotguns and $200 for high capacity weapons.All firearms accepted under the
program will be destroyed.
Two more gun buyback events will be held in February
and March.
