"Using data from the National Incident Based Reporting System, we find no evidence that GBPs reduce gun crime," the researchers said. "Using data from the National Vital Statistics System, we also find no evidence that GBPs reduce suicides or homicides where a firearm was involved."

If they never owned them in the first place, how is it a "buy-back"?

Who pays for the BGC? I mean, there's likely all manner of felons in these groups...

[Sawin]

how about we organize a gun-buyback too?

this piece of the article peaks my curiosity. "However, we’ve heard from the community, especially young people, (that) they want a place to safely and anonymously turn in their guns.” Young people as in teenagers? And they came into possession of these guns that they want to turn in how? Maybe they're just picking them up along the streets at night, idk....but I'd like someone to sit and watch and see just how many "young people" come and turn in any guns.

Was it $50 - $250 per gun?
Ya, OK.

Anonymous allows them to turn in guns "acquired" from parents, parents of friends, mom's BF, dad's GF, etc. with no repercussions. Can't get in trouble with the folks or the local constabulary if you can't track it... Free party money, yo.

Young people want a place to "safely and anonymously" dispose of evidence.
