Most firearms collected aren’t the kind used in crimes. (Photo: Gateway JFK Facebook)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New York Attorney General Letitia James bragged on Twitter over the weekend about a gun \u201cbuyback\u201d event in Queens that managed to collect 79 \u201cfirearms,\u201d most of which were old revolvers and bolt-action rifles and some of which were BB and replica guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGun violence threatens our communities and puts New Yorkers in harm\u2019s way every day. It is more critical now than ever, especially during gun violence awareness month, that we take measures to curb this devastation and protect our neighborhoods and families,\u201d James said in a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we collected 79 firearms at our community gun buyback event in Queens.

Queens is experiencing devastating gun violence, and I’m proud to see New Yorkers are doing their part to combat this epidemic and protect our communities. pic.twitter.com\/oKQKTZKBGO<\/a><\/p>\u2014 NY AG James (@NewYorkStateAG) June 12, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

The event was hosted at St. Mary Magdalene Roman Catholic Church in Springfield Gardens, Queens, and was sponsored by Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz, Gateway JFK, St. Luke Cathedral of Laurelton, St. Mary Magdalene, and the New York City Police Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katz applauded those who brought their firearms to be destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is important that we continue to come together as a community to reject the idea that this scourge of gun violence is insurmountable. We must take every step that we can. Every gun that we get off the streets is a potential life saved, a potential tragedy averted,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total of 79 weapons were taken off our streets today during our gun buy-back program. Every one of these guns is a potential life saved, a potential tragedy averted.

Those who brought operable handguns were given $200 and an iPad, and rifles and shotguns were worth $75, according to a flyer for the event obtained by GunsAmerica. Local media<\/a> also reported that those who brought BB guns or air pistols were given $25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katz\u2019s office did not respond to a GunsAmerica request for a list of the 79 \u201cfirearms\u201d collected, but a review of the images from the event shows that the bulk of the weapons were old revolvers and bolt-action rifles. Along with BB guns and other air pistols, local media also mentioned that some of the \u201cguns\u201d surrendered were \u201cimitation pistols.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gun \u201cbuybacks\u201d are a favorite public relations tactic among anti-gun activists, but as should be obvious from this latest event, there is zero evidence that they do anything to reduce crime<\/a>. The majority of guns collected aren\u2019t the kind used by criminals to perpetrate violence. Most people who offer their firearms simply don\u2019t use or want them anymore\u2014they\u2019ve been collecting dust in an attic, and their owners figure that $200 or $75 is better than nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
