Instead of Buyback Chesapeake Looks to Pay for Information

We’ve long been following gun buybacks and often question whether those events actually get “guns off the streets,” but now some communities are trying something different. The Virginia Pilot noted that the Chesapeake police “will soon start offering $100 cash to individuals who relay details leading to the seizure of illegal firearms.” Whether this program will work needs to be seen, but it is better than handing out gift cards in exchange for guns in our opinion.
