The total represents the highest number of firearms collected in a buyback over the past decade, with a 2008 program netting 2,000 guns and a 2013 campaign recovering 500 firearms.Last week, Toronto city council authorized up to $750,000 to compensate residents who turn in guns.
The latest gun buyback was authorized as part of a wider raft of measures taken by Toronto City Council in wake of the sustained increase in gun violence that plagued the city in 2018.Each firearm is being tested against available forensic evidence to see if it was used in a crime. If it was not, it will be destroyed.
Anyone wishing to participate is urged to call police so an officer can come to their home and take the weapon with them.To be eligible for the buyback, firearms must be collected by 7 p.m. Friday night.Just two of the many guns turned into
Good, never better
Much more relevant news about this useless gun buyback virtue signalling swindle.
EVERY DAY 1,000 new firearms are purchased by law abiding Canadians. 247,978 new restricted firearms (handguns and AR15 rifles) were registered by law abiding Canadians from 2013 to 2017. That's 170 new handguns and AR15 modern sporting rifles EVERY DAY!
this gun is from WW2?
How many guns do you think actual criminals have turned in? That’s the statistic you should be after. Not this smoke and mirrors bullshit!
Its great to get the guns off the streets & all but one question? If the Police are paying citizens for their fire arms, where is the money coming from to pay them? Is it the fact that the tax payers are fronting the bill for these pay outs? Just wondering... TorontoPolice
These are just smart gun owners trading in guns worth next to nothing for a chunk of change they would never get if they tried to private sell these firearms. I bet most arent even functioning 😂. Congratulations, you have solved nothing, and spent more money in the process.
Pretty sure the thugs shooting each other in the street aren’t using Lugers.
Complete scam, paying legit gun owners more than their guns are worth, to create the illusion this has put a dent in gun violence Why don't you dig into the stats on those guns CP24, not just tweet a sensationalist headline
