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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
