Guns Save Life sent FOIA bombs to local police agencies seeking lists of the guns turned in at the August 4th gun buyback in Champaign, IL.
While we'd never even hope to get a similar list from Chicago for their buyback, this local list does reaffirm our earlier experiences about the nature of guns turned in - just junk. Pure junk.
It also put our mind to ease that some really nice guns were getting bought for pennies on the dollar.
Interestingly enough, it looks as though less than one percent of the guns turned in were previously reported as lost, stolen or otherwise listed in a police report.
See for yourself. Here's the whole story, and the list.
All the best,
John
