Gun Buyback Program Set For Saturday In Amsterdam

wikipedia

A gun buyback program in Amsterdam will hold an event this weekend.

The third “Gifts for Guns” buyback program is Saturday.

The effort is a partnership between the Trinity Lutheran Church, Amsterdam Police Department, and Montgomery County District Attorney’s office.

Handguns can be dropped off at Trinity Lutheran Church at 42 Guy Park Avenue from 9 a.m. to noon in exchange for a $100 gift card.

Organizers say the “no questions asked”  program allows people to turn in weapons without fear of being prosecuted.
