Following a public safety initiative from the Sacramento Police Department, residents will soon have the opportunity to exchange their firearms for gift cards. This initiative, a gun buy-back event, aims to reduce the number of weapons in the community by incentivizing individuals to safely and anonymously surrender their guns. Set to take place on November 2, the announcement made by the Sacramento Police on their X account promises a no-questions-asked approach to encourage wide participation.

The event is scheduled to be hosted at the Kinney Police Station on 3550 Marysville Blvd. Interested participants can look to arrive between 8:00 am and 11:00 am to partake in the exchange. The department’s terms, designed to ensure to rapidly facilitate transactions, dictate "No questions asked. No identification required.
