A pro-gun group has used a firearm buyback programme to sell ‘non-firing junk’ to raise money for a youth shooting camp.
The Guns Save Life group, based in Champaign, Illinois, scooped $6,240 from the Chicago Police Department after handing in around 60 guns.
During the one-day ‘Don’t kill a dream, save a life’ programme’, the department paid $100 for every gun and $10 for every BB, air or replica gun handed in, with no questions asked.
The local Chicago CBS affiliate and police superintendent point to guns, not criminals, as the cause of all of their problems.
