This Saturday, May 8, is the 2nd annual city-wide gun buyback program.
Go to one of the five drop off locations with any type of weapon you want to get rid of and you may receive up to $100 in gift cards for hand guns and up to $200 for assault weapons (as specified in the State of California). You can choose a Ralph's gift card or a pre-paid Visa card.
It's all anonymous and there will be no questions asked.
Last year the LAPD collected over 1700 firearms, including a grenade launcher. (Seriously!) Read the full press release from the Mayor's Office here.
