Baltimore Woman Says She'll Use Gun Buyback Cash to Buy a Bigger Gun

Over 500 guns were surrendered to Baltimore police within the first hour and a half of a citywide gun buyback program this week. Participants received anywhere from $25 to $500 for their unwanted firearms.

Mayor Catherine Pugh and Interim Police Commissioner Gary Tuggle announced a gun buyback program—the first in six years—last week. Pugh said that the program was intended to "get the guns off of our streets."

The program reportedly cost the city $250,000, but there is little evidence that buyback programs are effective in reducing violence, or even in reducing the number of firearms in circulation—as one woman ably demonstrated.

Kathleen Cairns, a WBFF Baltimore journalist, tweeted a picture of a woman who was surrendering a 9mm. She hoped to use the money from the program to buy an even bigger gun.

  1. It's a bull541t program that just costs the taxpayers a bunch and leaves guns in the hands of criminals. But that's Baltimore, folks!

  3. Dave T: Wow, a new kind of stupid. You spend $1000 to lawfully buy a gun, and they give you $200, a pat on the head, now good doggie. Go home and wait for your next command. Like sheep being herded and prepared for slaughter.
