Organizers say 231 guns were collected Saturday in a collection where gun owners received grocery store gift cards.
Klein's ShopRite Supermarkets, along with Baltimore City officials and the non-profit UpLift Solutions held a "Goods for Guns" collection at the New All Saints Catholic Church in Northwest Baltimore.
Each gun owner turning over a weapon received a $100 ShopRite gift card.
"Violence in our communities makes any positive strides more challenging and it affects us all, particularly during difficult economic times. The 'Goods for Guns' program creates a tremendous opportunity to help the communities that we are committed to," states Marshall Klein, Chief Operations Officer of Klein's Family Markets.

Obama/holder thugs guns trade in that Obama cell also for a Big Mac.
Every one of the owners should be deported, and their citizenship revoked.
4:38. Why? I don't understand why this is a bad thing.
Will not affect crime in any way , all the guns were long guns with a minimum worth. Crime is done with hand guns , nice try Mr. Liberal.
Some of the guns turned in were stolen the day before the trade , really using your brain culture people.
How do we know they were all long guns?
When are they going to do it around here?
I've got several broken guns that are worthless and I'd love to get a hundred bucks a piece for them. Besides, I'm sure I could sell those food coupons and put that on a new Glock.
8:27 that's the way to look at it
It's all about gun control. You people that give up good guns for gift cards or food are idiots.
I also think the guns are stolen and the cops refuse to do anything about it.
