Troy Police “Try to Get Guns Off Streets”

No one wants guns on the streets and in the hands of criminals, but the way the mainstream media keeps on reporting about it, it seems like a bigger deal than it actually is. And the latest example of this is from News10.com in Albany, New York. The site is reporting:
“The Troy Police Department is trying to get guns off city streets. The department is getting ready to hold its first ever gun buyback program.”
Apparently the police are following up on an event started by the Victory Church, which “has held several gun buyback days in Albany, Schenectady and Troy. Since the creation of that program nearly 200 guns have been taken off area streets.”
As we’ve reported on many times, is there any proof that these guns were “taken off the streets.” In many cases, these were guns taken from under beds. And how many times do you think widows and others have sold valuable collectibles for a mere fraction what they were worth? This would be akin to handing in a valuable collectible car and getting the clunker’s value.
