In a big push to get guns off the streets in Los Angeles, a city program ran events with the LAPD in Mission Hills and Elysian Park on Saturday to buy back weapons with no questions asked. The program, sponsored by Mayor Eric Garcetti's Office of Gang Reduction and Youth Development, allows anyone to surrender firearms anonymously in exchange for gift cards. The cards are valued at $100 for handguns, shotguns and rifles and $200 for firearms classified as assault weapons in California.

How many times does it have to be said?
YOU CAN'T BUY BACK WHAT YOU NEVER OWNED IN THE FIRST PLACE. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
