Out here in LA, we had gun buy back programs, where they would give you gift cards when you turn in gun(s). The fukked up part was that the cops in LA teamed up with the black churches to convince blacks to give up their guns. They always did it during thanksgiving, christmas and fathers day. The cops and the black churches would prop up crying black mothers who lost their sons to gun violence.
The crazy part was that, in the following weeks, the cops would do gang sweeps (all black people were not gang members, we have this all in laws gang law, which says if you live on the block your from that gang) and arrest a bunch of black men. It was a trick that the cops did with the help of the church, to arrest black men.
They needed to take the guns away, because they know the brothers would have shot back. You can look it up, Tariq talked about how the shyt was fukked up.
Also, every other year there is a rocket launcher being turned in during the gun buy back lol, motherfukker please, the police did that one. You really think the police really let somebody drop off a rocket launcher and not question him or arrest him.
A lot of those black men were clean and did not have any warrants, that's why a lot of brothers are like fukk the church in LA.
