Story:
Bronx, NY (1/23/10) - Another gun buyback program took place in four Bronx churches Saturday. People traded in weapons for $200 bank cards with no questions asked.

The purpose of gun buyback programs is to get illegal guns off the street. You could bring in an illegal gun, get $200 and the cops would not arrest you for having an illegal weapon.

There was no limit to how many guns could be turned in, but participants were only paid for the first 3 guns.

The program took place at St. Luke's Church, St. Augustine's Church, Transfiguration Lutheran Church and Our Lady of Grace.

The first gun buyback in the Bronx last year took in nearly 1,000 guns.
