For the second year in a row, San Antonio is hosing a voluntary weapons exchange on November 24. From noon to 5 p.m., anyone looking to unload a weapon responsibly can do so in Lot B at the Alamodome. For every weapon turned over, there’s an H-E-B gift card as a reward.
“That gun that is turned in to us will never hurt a human being, will never commit a crime, will never be used to threaten anybody because it will be destroyed,” San Antonio District 9 Councilman John Courage, who is helping host the event, told KENS 5. He noted the exchange program isn’t necessarily intended to reduce crime rates but to make homes, neighborhoods and communities safer by reducing access to firearms.

~60% of guns turned in a ‘gun buy backs’ are later found in the possession of gang-criminals but were recorded as having been destroyed.
Hard to believe this is happening in Texas and for the 2nd time.
I suppose dumbass is prevalent all over.
When my firearms go romping around the house, mis-behaving, I tell them I will take them to a government-run, gun buy-back program. That usually calms them down. Once in a while, I have to lock them in their boxes….solitary confinement, in pitch black.
