AUSTIN (KXAN) - Police in the state capital will bring back its very popular Guns4Groceries, a "no questions asked" gun buyback program that drew an overwhelming response last summer during its inaugural run.
The second run for the program doesn't come as much of a surprise for many after Austin police said the massive turnout last year was a good sign that it would return.
"It is not about infringing on rights to bear arms, it is about collecting unwanted firearms off thre streets," said Lt. Ely Reyes with Austin Police Department.
February 26th from 9 AM to 1 PM, APD and the Greater Austin Crime Commission will be buying back guns, no questions asked, at the Oak Meadow Baptist Church.
$200 in cash gift cards will be given for assault rifles, $100 for handguns, pistols and rifles, and $10 for replica guns, BB guns, and air guns.
There is a two-gun limit per person.
Reyes says unwanted guns often end up in the wrong hands and they hope to give families a safe avenue to dispose of the guns, especially after a violent year.

Well, I do have this broken 16 gage shotgun.....
The biggest piece of BS on these gun buybacks is that the government would like to leave the impression that since they are ‘Buying them back’ that they are the original source of these arms – and the original source of the right to keep and bear these arms – Outrageous!
"Digital cash" It's the only way to give you the finger and call it money.
