#gunbuyback

[natturnersrevenge1831]

Reposted from @nowthisnews The police department in Sacramento, CA, held a gun buyback event on May 21 that was so popular, it had to end it early. The department offered a $50 gas gift card in exchange for any guns brought in. The event was supposed to last 5 hours, but after only 45 minutes, the department announced that it ran out of gift cards ‘due to overwhelming response.’ It continued to accept firearms but ended the event an hour early. On Facebook, the department said 134 firearms were brought in. Gun buybacks allow gun owners to turn in firearms to law enforcement with no questions asked. The goal of these events is to reduce gun violence in the community. Research from the Journalist’s Resource shows that buybacks might not be as effective on their own but can help if ‘they’re part of a broader effort to reduce gun violence.’ #gunbuyback #gunviolence #gunreform #sacramento ______ Me: Talked about this on last night's live. Black people you are a dam fool if you give these clowns your guns for $50. Sheep always line up to be slaughtered. Don't be a part of this bullshit yall. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeEP_K-uGPw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Reducing Gun Violence in Boston

Boston Gun Buyback Program

On March 24, 2014, Mayor Martin J. Walsh announced the Boston Gun Buyback program, also known as "Your Piece for Peace," managed by the Boston Police Department in partnership with the Black Ministerial Alliance of Greater Boston. 

Mayor Walsh was joined by Boston Police Commissioner William Evans, community advocates including Pastor Liz Walker and other clergy, and representatives from community and advocacy organizations addressing violence.

"What you see before you today is that our community is united. And we are united with them, in the goal of making our neighborhoods, our homes, and our children safe," said Mayor Walsh at today's announcement. "We’re here to do much more than launch a single program. This is the first step in a long-term, city-wide mission to prevent violence. The people standing with me today have come together to support each other and better their communities. We are calling on everyone in the City of Boston to join us as we move forward, because everyone has a responsibility in this mission."

"This program is about empowering our community, and bringing everyone to work together to get illegal guns off our streets," said Commissioner Evans. "Every gun turned in is a life potentially saved. If you have access to a gun, here is your opportunity to turn it in and help us break the cycle of violence."

The Boston Gun Buyback program is a proactive campaign to take guns off our streets. The program asks city residents to turn-in their gun(s) and in return receive a $200.00 Visa® gift card at designated drop-off locations citywide. The “no questions asked” program will allow individuals to anonymously dispose of firearms without fear of charges for illegal possession when turning in the weapon at one of the more than 20 designated drop-off locations. 

This program is a citywide community effort led by neighbors who have been impacted by an increase in gun violence. Taking guns off the street is at the heart of violence prevention and we must do everything we can to put an end to the senseless violence. Every gun turned in to the program is a life potentially saved.

Since the Boston Gun Buyback program began 340 guns have been removed from the streets of Boston. An additional 291 guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition have been seized during traffic stops. In 2013, the total number of seized guns was 667. 

The following presentation shows some of the guns that have been turned in to the Boston Gun Buyback program or seized during traffic stops since the start of 2014. 

Mayor Walsh Convenes Mayors, Municipal Leaders, Law Enforcement for New England's First Regional Gun Trafficking Summit

On April 24, 2014, Mayor Walsh hosted the first-ever New England regional summit to address gun trafficking, bringing together mayors, municipal officials, law enforcement, subject matter experts, and community partners to discuss leadership commitments to combat gun trafficking through regional partnerships.

The summit addressed three major areas:

• The need for full and effective law enforcement investigations

• The kickoff of important research on illegal gun trafficking and drug patterns in Boston that will lay the groundwork for future action

• The proposed creation of a New England Regional Crime Gun Center

“Today we’re establishing a bold and united new front in the battle against gun violence in Boston and across New England,” Mayor Walsh said.  “We are all here—together—because we understand that the illegal trafficking of crime guns is a regional problem that demands a regional solution. Lawbreakers don’t respect borders. And more than that, they take advantage of our different jurisdictions to move the guns, the money, and the drugs that are involved in violent crime.”

Summit Attendees included: 

Attleboro Mayor Kevin Dumas  

Attleboro Police Chief Kyle P. Heagney  

Beverly Mayor Michael P. Cahill  

Braintree Mayor Joseph Sullivan  

Brockton Mayor Bill Carpenter  

Chelsea City Manager Jay Ash  

Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria  

Fall River Police Chief Daniel Racine  

Gardner Mayor Mark Hawke  

Lawrence Mayor Daniel Rivera  

Malden Mayor Gary Christenson  

New Bedford Police Chief Daniel Provencher

Newburyport Mayor Donna Holaday  

Revere Mayor Daniel Rizzo  

Peabody Mayor Ted Bettencourt  

Salem Police Captain Thomas Griffin  

Springfield Mayor Domenic J. Sarno  

Springfield Police Commissioner William Fitchet  

Providence, RI, Public Safety Commissioner Steven M. Paré  

Milford, NH, Police Chief Michael Viola  

Milford, NH, Town Administrator Guy Scaife  

Manchester, NH, At-Large Alderman Daniel O’Neil  

Bridgeport, CT, Police Chief Joseph L. Gaudett, Jr.  

Hartford, CT, Police Chief James Rovella  

Hartford, CT, Sgt. John O’Hare  

Portland, ME, Police Chief Michael Sauschuck  

Village of Essex Junction, VT, Vice President of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Essex Junction, Dan Kerin  

The day-long summit included a wide range of sessions: a panel discussion with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the United States Attorney’s Office; research presentations on Boston’s illegal gun markets and online gun sales; a roundtable discussion on gun trafficking with city and town officials; a legislation update; and an hour-long discussion with community partners.

“Day in and day out, we see too many illegal guns on our streets, not just in Boston but across the region,” said Police Commissioner William Evans. “It is very important for us to come together to adopt a regional approach.  Everyone must do their part to keep guns out of the wrong hands and continue the conversations that will help suppress gun violence.”

Study of Illegal Gun Trafficking in Boston

Mayor Walsh is  continuing Boston's work with Mayors Against Illegal Guns (now known as Everytown for Gun Safety), founded by Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. 

Mayor Walsh also announced a study where the Program in Criminal Justice at Harvard University to examine illegal gun trafficking in Boston. The study will be led by Professor Anthony Braga, who has worked for more than 20 years on violent crime issues in Boston, and will be supported by a $214,000 grant including funding from Everytown for Gun Safety, The Joyce Foundation's Fund for a Safer Future, and the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston.

“Understanding the nature of a problem is critical for developing appropriate responses to it,” Professor Anthony Braga said. “The little we know about how illegal guns end up in the wrong hands in Boston is dated and anecdotal. Effective crime gun policy needs to be informed by timely and accurate scientific evidence, and this study aims to provide that.”

Braga will work in close partnership with the Boston Police Department and in consultation with the US Attorney’s Office and ATF. He will work in the Boston neighborhoods most affected by gun violence to better understand how criminals, juveniles, and other high-risk people acquire illegal guns on our streets.  

“There is only so much that mayors and other local officials can do to protect their cities from  guns trafficked across state lines – in fact, 90 percent of the guns found at crime scenes in New York City were originally bought out of state and brought to the city illegally,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety and policy advisor to former New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. “Everytown is proud to support research that will help us understand how guns are being trafficked in New England so we can crack down on this activity across the country and keep our communities safe.” 

The study will use a variety of data and methods to answer questions such as where illegal guns come from and how illegal guns are acquired on Boston’s streets. The study is intentionally designed to make concrete policy recommendations on how the City can reduce the flow of illegal guns to high-risk individuals. A number of legislative, regulatory, enforcement, and community-based interventions will be identified and considered as a result of the study.

The Boston study will also provide a roadmap to help other jurisdictions in New England understand the nature of their illegal gun problems. Much of the Boston work will be used to inform a regional approach to shutting down cross-jurisdictional pipelines of drugs and guns. Professor Braga and his team will also be part of this regional effort and will provide analytical guidance to participating cities.

Proposed Creation of New England Regional Crime Gun Center  

Mayor Walsh called on summit attendees to create a working group to support planning for a New England Regional Crime Gun Center. The center will be a centralized location for tracing and analyzing crime guns to disrupt regional gun trafficking networks and better position law enforcement to hold violent gun criminals accountable. Centralizing this information increases efficiencies, overcomes statutory restrictions, and ensures that trafficking leads are directed to the appropriate investigators.

The members of the Working Group will be tasked with outlining and establishing the New England Regional Crime Gun Center and formalizing policy for the sharing and distribution of data and data analysis amongst regional stakeholders.

“We understand the illegal trafficking of crime guns is a regional problem that demands regional solutions,” Mayor Walsh said. “This is a problem that demands concrete, collaborative action.”

What can you do to help Mayor Walsh and the Boston Police Department reduce gun violence?

• Encourage your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to participate in the Boston Gun Buyback program. Let's help reduce gun violence across the City of Boston.
