Gothamist.com Says “Everyone Loves Bronx” Gun Buyback

Who exactly is everyone? According to Gothamist.com “Everyone Loves Bronx Cash4Guns Program,” and the article even has this introduction:

“According to everyone involved, yesterday’s gun buyback in the Bronx was a marvelous success.”

Sure, the police love it, because it takes NYC one closer to a police state. The churches that held the event love it, because they can claim to make a difference whether they really do or not. But everyone surely doesn’t love it. As a New York resident I loathe these buybacks, in part because I know real criminals aren’t handing in their firearms.
