The gun buy-back program organized by Port Huron’s police department Saturday didn’t quite go as planned.
“It was successful so fast that we ran out of money, and then we had to get our own funds out of the police department,” Port Huron Police Chief Joe Platzer said about halfway through the four-hour event.
It was the first time the department hosted a gun-buyback program, where residents can bring in unwanted firearms in exchange for cash, and Platzer said they hadn’t expected such a high turnout.

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") |
