City officials say they will form a special police unit and buy back guns in the city as part of a broader effort to tamp down rising violent crime.
Mayor Sheldon Neeley announced the plan in a news conference Tuesday, July 21, less than 24 hours after a man in his 20s was shot and killed on Clement Street -- the 28th homicide in Flint this year.
We are at the intersection of a crisis ... As you watch the number grow in violent crime in our community, we have to do more than our best ..., Neeley said. Its a very trying time.
Dates and times of the buy-back program will be announced at a later time, Hart said. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
