The gun buyback program offers a small amount of money in return for turning in firearms, which may not be enough to incentivize criminals or those using firearms for illegal activities to participate. Additionally, the program is aimed at reducing the number of firearms in circulation and preventing accidental shootings or suicides, so it is more likely that individuals will turn in nonworking guns that are no longer in use and pose a potential hazard.
