SALT LAKE CITY — Standing in an orange shirt reading "Protect Children Not Guns," Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall dove into a list of gun violence statistics and the American cities at the center of recent mass shootings in the U.S.

Uvalde, Texas. Buffalo, New York. Tulsa, Oklahoma.

These instances, which have rattled the nation, prompted Mendenhall to take action in an effort to curb gun violence in Salt Lake City. The mayor announced a new city-sponsored gun buyback program event that will be held on June 11 — the first of its kind since the 1990s.

The first 200 people to turn in their guns will receive a $50 Maverik gift card, according to the mayor.

Community organizer Jeanette Padilla proposed the idea to the Salt Lake City Mayor's Office. The city's idea mirrors a Sacramento, California program held two weeks ago, where 134 guns were exchanged for all the $50 gas cards that the police department had purchased.

"These buyback programs have been successful in other areas of the country in addition to Sacramento," Mendenhall said. "They're a tremendous option for gun owners interested in safely disposing of their unwanted weapons."

Mendenhall said members of her staff and Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown were immediately on board with the plan as soon as it was brought up. The Salt Lake City Police Foundation raised funds to launch the pro

Might be a good location to hang out and perhaps out bid the city on some excellent gear.

When was SLC in the business of SELLING GUNS?

"unwanted"

Why do they always leave out the Children in
Chicongo ..
Can’t be they need to be Kull’d ..
Couldn’t be stupid genome Juicy Subway as
Exhibit A ..

I'm wondering:

Will any of the 200 be checked to see if they are Felons Possessing a Firearm?

How many of the 135 guns turned in in Sacramento were actually functional?

Successful in accomplishing WHAT, exactly?

After doing this, was there actually a noticeable, measurable reduction in crime??

What did Sacramento do with the weapons they 'bought'???

$50 Maverik gift card.............I am speechless. lol

Black people are responsible for 55% of murders. The people doing these crimes are like 3% of the population. We would be further ahead if we didn't allow them to own firearms.

$50 dollar gift card..ooooh one 84 ounce mtn dew fountain drink, oh beef jerky, Wo are those fresh baked donuts take a dozen of those, hmm of couple bags of Doritos. Cashier that will be $53.99..

Criminals will be robbing homes for guns to turn in now, once they use them for a crime first though.

I like this line of thinking!

Nice try mayor dipp scchidt

I have a couple guns that were given to me. They don't work and are not desireable, but I would not sell them for $50.00. I can use them for jack handles or clubs if necessary. Bottom dollar is $150.00. Wonder what kind of guns were turned in for a $50.00 gift card. Cards were probably donated by the business benefited who will have $25.00 profit on each card so no out of pocket expense in the long run. Small people in positions of authority.

SLC = Seattle wanna be.

[bleep] em and boycott em...

LOLOLOLOL

"These buyback programs have been successful in other areas of the country in addition to Sacramento,"


Their definition of success is a little different than mine.

$50 ??? ………….!!!!!!!

They expect to get mostly Remingtons.

Let me be the first to say that I have not been rattled...

Sickermore has some ARs to turn in. LMAO

Never heard of an unwanted weapon.

$50?.. The crappiest rifle I can think of that still goes bang is worth $100 these days. Thinking haggard 22lr single shot or similar…

“They” are going to have to come to the table with a lot more of they want to make these buybacks a “success.”

You would have to be a complete moron to turn in a gun for 50 bucks.
Or a completely programmed good little Liberal Socialist Democrat who wants some twitter praise for doing so..

SLC is run by Dems, full of wishful thinking.

I do go there once in a great while, to visit Gallenson's Gun Store or a certain gifted chiropractor. Other than that, just not too interested.

Somewhere around here I have Jennings J-22, and even it is worth more than a measly $50.

The whole "buy back" name is a joke. Only an FFL could buy a gun back, not the city of Salt Lake.

Thanks for the link. A hundred bucks for an assault rifle and fifty bucks for every other type of gun ??? GMAFB. Don't these naive idiots realize the street value of guns? At least guns in workable condition, which means that most gun turn ins are junk that can't be sold on the street anymore. I predict they get zero assault weapons and a bunch of old worn out, beat to hell handguns along with a couple very old cheap grade shotguns that have seen better days. They may get a couple old handguns in decent shape that some old widow wants to get rid of before she goes into the old folks home but other than that all these virtue signaling idiots are just wasting money so they can portray themselves as heroic crime fighters. I helped incinerate a lot of guns from these buybacks years ago when I worked in an incinerator and spoke with the cops from various departments who brought them in a few times a year.

It's been years since was in SLC. Guess there's been a major californication going on.

I dont know, i have a broke ass old 16 gauge id take to one of these things for $50 in cash. Could use that to buy a box of ammo for my ar10

Salt Lake city has always been run by democrats ever since I can remember. The rest of the state not so much.
