Like a lot of good that does.
I can’t think of a better way for the city to spend my hard-earned money than to encourage criminals to steal guns and sell the worst ones to GPD 🙄
From the description, does that mean that cheap guns are safer than expensive guns? Why else would the be ‘assessing’ the value? Maybe it hurts less if you’re killed with a cheap gun.
Thanks GPD for starting to address gun violence in our community
