New Yorkers can surrender their guns in exchange for iPads and prepaid cards this Saturday at the Manhattan D.A. Office and NYPD’s Harlem buyback program.

the buyback drive was an important measure for a safe summer and violence reduction.

“I am incredibly grateful to District Attorney Bragg for partnering with our office for this gun buyback in Harlem,” said Councilmember Shaun Abreu. “The data speaks for itself: fewer guns mean less gun violence, which means fewer families mourning the death of a loved one. If more guns were the answer, the U.S. would be the safest place on Earth. Instead, guns are the leading cause of death for U.S. children and teens. It is a policy failure, plain and simple.

“Gun violence in our communities and our youth is a concern that’s been one of our top priorities,” said Councilmember Kristin Richardson Jordan. “Last year we partnered with Black Ops to initiate a program called ‘Summer of Hope.’ We went outside in the community bringing resources, activities, and food; giving the youth an alternative than being on the streets. We hope to continue a similar program this year.

“With that being said, events like the buyback event will foster community engagement and help the community to feel more comfortable turning in firearms. We’ve seen in the past, some of our youth feel uncomfortable walking into precincts to turn in their guns. Having a community event, we hope, will ease that worry while also making our streets a safer place.“Tandy Lau is a Report for America corps member and writes about public safety for the Amsterdam News.
