Gun Buyback Event Tomorrow 
                                   
Following the success of last week’s Gun Buyback program, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz is hosting another buyback event tomorrow.

The Gun Buyback event will be held on Saturday at 2:45 at Macedonia Baptist Church at 330 Beach 67th Street Avenue, Queens.

District Attorney Katz said, “We had a very successful gun buy back event last week – 117 operable pistols and long guns were removed from our communities. We want to do it again and take even more firearms off our streets. To reverse the recent spike in gun violence, it will take all of us working together. Each gun turned in tomorrow, is a potential life saved.”


People with a legal or illegal gun are invited to trade it in for a reward. Each working handgun nets a $200 bank card. For each rifle, shotgun, BB gun or air pistol, the reward is a $25 bank card. One can turn in as many firearms as they have, but the reward is no more than three $200 bank cards. The bank cards can be used as a debit card with merchants or get cash at any ATM.

This is a no questions asked and 100 percent anonymous event.

Participants should bring unloaded weapons in paper or plastic bags or shoe boxes when brought to the church. If transported by car, the gun must be in the trunk of the vehicle.

Funding for the gun buy back events were shared equally between the Queens District Attorney’s Office and the New York City Police Department.

Please note that gun dealers and active or retired law enforcement firearms are not acceptable.

  Here’s a guide to the policies that together define a “sanctuary city” — and what that could mean during a potential mass deportation effort. This article originally appeared in The City. By  Gwynne Hogan ,  Rachel Holliday Smith , and  Rachel Kahn NEW YORK - Throughout the election, Donald Trump promised to enact an unprecedented campaign of mass deportations , saying he wants to remove “as many as 20 million” people from the United States during his second administration. A trio of early personnel choices — Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem for homeland security secretary and former Immigration and Customs Enforcement head Tom Homan as “border czar” — indicate that the incoming president is very serious about following through with his pledge.
