Buffalo Buyback a Success

Buffalo's second gun buyback has received high marks from city auditors. The final tally of guns turned in was 723. This includes 235 nonworking guns, 220 rifles, 263 handguns, and five assault weapons. The city gave out over 33-thousand dollars in gift cards to people who turned guns in. The first buyback program last year resulted in 878 guns taken off the streets.
