"Gun buyback programs expand across New York state to curb violence"

New York Attorney General Letitia James will host the "first-ever statewide community gun buyback" on April 29, featuring nine simultaneous gun buyback events held across the state. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) will accept working and non-working, unloaded firearms in exchange for compensation on site, with no questions asked. The attorney general's office will provide $500 per assault rifle or ghost gun turned in on-site at each event, $75 per rifle or shotgun, and $25 per non-working, replica, antique, homemade, or 3D printed gun. The office is offering $150 per handgun, and $500 will be given for the first handgun turned in per person.
