NYC bill requiring NYPD hold monthly gun buybacks

[gunpoliticsny]

New York City INT 892-2023, This bill would require the Police Department to establish a monthly gun buy-back program, whereby individuals may voluntarily and anonymously surrender to the department a working or non-working unloaded gun or parts thereof, in exchange for a sum of money to be determined by the department upon surrender. Individuals surrendering a gun would not be required to provide identification or any personally identifiable information, and would not be subject to criminal or civil penalties for the illegal possession of such gun, unless such penalties are required by local, state or federal laws, rules or regulations. The gun buy-back program would take place in a different borough at least once each month, on a rotating basis.

Doesn't this mean that anyone turning in an "illegal" gun in NYS/NYC would be subject? After all, possession of, and transfer of, these items is clearly "illegal" under the current laws.

Fire up the printers and make $20,000/ buyback. Bleed them dry like they do to us.

That's what I would assume too based on current laws. Were they too stupid to write it better or are they hoping to trap people?

Two thoughts on this: 1. Got a hot gun you just used to kill someone? Turn it in, and have the cops dispose of it for you, and 2. If you are ever stopped while carrying an "illegal" gun, just tell the cops you are on your way to the next upcoming gun buyback...LOL!

I guess the NYPD doesn’t have enough to do already.

I guess the NYPD doesn’t have enough to do already.

And less cops to do it with.

I know it drives me nuts how all the BS these politicians scheme up falls to already overworked LE to make work.

I guess the NYPD doesn’t have enough to do already.

But this will solve all their problems

 

[zorro]

How does anyone carry a gun into NYC when they don’t have a permit to take it into the City?

 

[SonOfSun]

Yes, I'm sure all the gangbangers will turn in their weapons.

Individuals surrendering a gun would not be required to provide identification or any personally identifiable information, and would not be subject to criminal or civil penalties for the illegal possession of such gun, unless such penalties are required by local, state or federal laws, rules or regulations.
