Council member Jesse Moreno said his office plans to meet with police officials this week to propose the department oversee a gun buyback event and to discuss...
García said he didn’t know when Dallas police most recently participated in a gun buyback event. The city held at least two events in 2009 where more than 300 guns were brought, according to city documents. People were given grocery gift cards in exchange for guns.
According to the study, the programs may fail because gun owners typically could get more for their firearms by selling them through other means, because of perceptions that they could become gun crime victims themselves if they surrender their firearms and because people could use money received from the program to buy newer guns.
The study also said research shows such programs don’t reduce gun violence largely because they don’t stop guns from getting into the hands of people who aren’t supposed to have them. “There’s been events in the past, several, where we’ve gotten less than 10. There’s been events when we’ve gotten none,” said Carabajal. He didn’t know why the turnout was higher than normal, but suggested the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde a month earlier could have played a factor.
