Pr. George's County Hosts Second 'Gift Cards For Guns' Event

Prince George's county is offering residents another chance to turn in any gun and receive up to $100 in gift cards for each gun.

The county is again teaming up with the NAACP in the Gift Cards for Guns program in an attempt to reduce gun-related crimes. The event will be held Saturday, September 8, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Oxon Hill United Methodist Church on 6400 Livingston Road.

The first event was held in early June. The program provides an incentive for those who are willing to anonymously turn in their weapons for Visa gift cards.

I lived in Oxon Hill until it became the toxic crime area it is. I know what they do , they steal weapons from individuals or gun dealers and sell them to this crappy event , get a life P.G . County. Then the Law divids them up for whoever wants them and the cycle begins again.

Sad, real sad. None of those guns were owned by criminals. Stolen at best and the PD won't try to find the real owners. This is a situation where the government is condoning thugs to steal from good Americans.

I think it is funny how every gun on that table is worth more than a hundred dollars!! Those cops will take them home and sell them for way more.
