Walsh and Police Commissioner William B. Evans to the city\u2019s 8,000 registered gun owners.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to reminding gun owners to secure their firearms, the authorities tout their gun buyback program called \u201cYour Piece for Peace,\u201d which promises to give a $200 gift card to anyone who turns in a firearm.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the \u201cYour Piece for Peace\u201d recovered a total of one unwanted firearm.<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nWe write today to ask for your continued assistance in our effort to reduce illegal gun crime in the City of Boston. Police serve an important role in reducing gun crime, but more can be done with your help.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As a legal gun owner, it is important that you also do your part to ensure that guns are stored safely, and kept out of the hands of children and criminals.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As we are sure you are aware, there were some very important changes to the gun laws in Massachusetts last year. As partners in keeping the neighborhoods safe we want to bring to your attention your obligations as a gun owner, and ask for your cooperation in keeping guns in the hands of only those legally authorized to carry them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 140, should you decide to sell or transfer your gun, you must receive approval of the sale \/ transfer through a web portal developed by the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services. You can access the Massachusetts Gun Transaction Portal at mass.gov\/eopss\/firearms-reg-and-laws\/frb. The portal will, among other things, verify the identity of both buyer and seller, and ensure the sale\/transfer complies with the law. Please ensure that these simple steps are followed when transferring a firearm so that all guns are properly accounted for. Additionally, the law mandates reporting to both local law enforcement and the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services when a legal gun is lost or stolen, and the law has increased the criminal penalties for failure to report a lost or stolen gun. All lost or stolen guns must be reported through the portal, and a report must be filed with the Boston Police Department.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To assist you in better securing your gun(s), we are also offering you a free gunlock, or locks depending on how many guns you may have. If you would like a gunlock or advice on proper on storage of guns and \/ or ammunition, please call the Boston Police Department\u2019s Licensing Division at (617) 343-4425.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Additionally, the Department has recently re-launched the \u201cYour Piece for Peace\u201d gun buyback\u00a0<\/em><em>program. If you need to dispose of a firearm, you can do so safely and confidentially at any district station, and receive a $200 gift card. For more information on this important program, please see the enclosed informational pamphlet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you for your anticipated cooperation with this vital mission. It\u2019s with your partnership we can together continue to prevent gun violence in the City of Boston.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston officials sent a letter to the city&#8217;s registered gun owners promoting a gun buyback program which encourages one to give up &#8220;Your Piece for Peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":42489,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-42484","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Boston Officials to Registered Gun Owners: Give Up \u2018Your Piece for Peace\u2019<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Boston officials sent a letter to the city&#039;s registered gun owners promoting a gun buyback program which encourages one to give up &quot;Your Piece for Peace.&quot;\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/boston-officials-to-registered-gun-owners-give-up-your-piece-for-peace\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Boston Officials to Registered Gun Owners: Give Up \u2018Your Piece for Peace\u2019\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Boston officials sent a letter to the city&#039;s registered gun owners promoting a gun buyback program which encourages one to give up &quot;Your Piece for Peace.&quot;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/boston-officials-to-registered-gun-owners-give-up-your-piece-for-peace\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-09-10T09:59:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T00:27:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/0720_evans-walsh-winter.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
