The buyback ended at 4 pm local time, but a final tally of guns collected was not expected to be released before Thursday. In May, the city's annual gun buyback program collected 1,673 firearms at six locations, compared to two locations used for the program on Wednesday, Curry said.
At each of the locations where the buyback was held, a line of cars stretched around the block, Curry said. People dropping off their guns were asked to leave them in the trunks of their cars, where officers retrieved the weapons. Those surrendering their guns were allowed to remain anonymous.
周三洛杉矶警方开展回收枪支活动,用购物卡换枪支。市长安东尼奥•维拉戈沙宣布这一活动是为了应对康涅狄格州纽镇疯狂致命枪击事件而采取的抗击犯罪的举措。
警察向那些上交自动武器的人分发价值200美元的百货商店购物卡,向那些上交手枪、步枪或猎枪的人分发价值100美元的购物卡。
自2009年以来,洛杉矶每年都会进行一次枪支回收,过去几年在其他几个城市也组织过类似的活动,包括底特律和波斯顿。圣地亚哥的警方在本月早些时候还举行了一次枪支回收活动。
某些专家认为回收枪支对于减少枪支暴力没什么作用,但维拉戈沙表示回收枪支活动是应对康涅狄格州纽镇桑迪霍克小学枪击事件的一个举措。12月14日发生的这起枪击事件导致20名儿童和6名成年教职员丧生。
