New York Attorney General Letitia James and the Rochester Police Department will host a community gun buyback event at the Church of Love Faith Center in Rochester next weekend. On October 19th, the Office of the Attorney General will accept – with no questions asked – working and non-working unloaded firearms in exchange for compensation on site. It provides money in the form of prepaid gift cards when a gun is received and secured by law enforcement officers on site.
The OAG will be providing the following amounts for firearms turned in on-site:
- $500 per assault rifle
- $250 per handgun
- $75 per rifle or shotgun
- $25 per non-working, replica, antique, homemade, or 3D-printed gun
*Anyone bringing homemade or 3D-printed guns will be paid a total of $25, regardless of how many are turned in.
The guns must be transported to the drop-off site unloaded, in the trunk of the vehicle, in a plastic or paper bag, or box. This is an amnesty program, in which no questions will be asked about the person dropping off the gun.
