A gun buyback event in Milpitas Sunday brought in more than 400 unwanted firearms.
People stayed in the car and with the gun unloaded in the trunk. They were offered cash ranging from $100 to $200 dollars with very few questions.
“One good thing an important thing about this event is its anonymous the only question we ask folks are where are the fireamrs and how many do you have, we’re not asking people’s names identity date of birth immigration status, none,” said Deputy District Attorney Hugo Meza.“If they’re stolen, the owner will be contacted to be returned to the rightful owner certainly but for the rest of them all will be turned over to contractor we will not using or reselling they will be melted,” Lee said.
Organizers said they spent more than $40,000 on Sunday’s buyback event, and believe it made a difference.
