program that has successfully taken thousands of guns off the streets to protect our communities from gun violence.

I'd like to know how many of the guns "bought 'back'" by this "program" were from criminals, or guns used in crime?

I'd like to know just how to make these sorts of claims!

I suspect Philly is pretty representative.

Philly buyback events have yielded 1,000 guns in three years. None had been used in crimes.

Crims usually are pretty stoopid but maybe not stoopid enough to turn over a gun used in a crime to the Po-Po.
