Or maybe not . . . "Toledo police have proposed another buyback program using $50,000 in city law-enforcement money to buy handguns at $50 each, with a limit of two weapons per person."

City, county to buy back guns
April 10, 2000

Toledo and Lucas County residents will have the chance for the next month to sell handguns to local law enforcement agencies for $50 each.
Today begins a month-long gun buyback sponsored by the Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Toledo police and the Lucas County sheriff's department will conduct the buyback and are expected to discuss details at a news conference today.
In February, the housing authority received $25,025 in federal funds to conduct the gun buyback, which is enough to buy 500 guns. The money includes a $17,500 federal drug-elimination grant and $7,525 in other federal money.
The law-enforcement agencies are conducting the program for the housing authority because of their expertise in firearms and crime investigations.
Andrew Cuomo, secretary of HUD, called the buyback "part of a strategy that will reduce the terrible toll of death and injuries caused by guns on our streets and in our homes across the country."
Handgun owners will receive $50 for each gun they turn in, with a maximum of two guns per person. The guns must be in working order.
Starter pistols, BB guns, and pellet guns will not be accepted, police Chief Mike Navarre said. Police will give residents a voucher for the amount they are owed for their guns. The voucher must be redeemed at a local bank within two days.
The program will run until May 12, unless money to buy the guns runs out before then. Guns will be accepted until that date at the Safety Building downtown and the and Scott Park district police stations.
They will be accepted at the following sheriff's substations: Substation 25 on Angola Road, April 10 to 21; Substation 26 on St. Route 2 from April 24 to May 5; and Substation 28 on Monclova Road from May 8 to 12. Police ask residents to make sure the guns they bring in for trade are unloaded, wrapped securely, and transported in the trunks of their vehicles, Chief Navarre said in his release.
Toledo police have proposed another buyback program using $50,000 in city law-enforcement money to buy handguns at $50 each, with a limit of two weapons per person.
The proposal is in city council's public safety committee.
