Although July's buyback was considered a success with more than $100,000 exchanged for guns, it's believed many people 3D printed or made guns specifically for the program.
Back in July, cars lined up with countless people aiming to trade their guns for a cash gift card as one sliver of the city's crime-fighting initiative, One Safe Houston.
"Some people had guns in their home and wanted to dispose of them. They knew they needed to dispose of them, and it was an easy way to do it," said Commissioner Rodney Ellis. Some believe the current layout of the event has the potential of impacting public safety, considering it's a no-questions-asked gun buyback."If there's a gun that's turned in that can be linked to a crime, and there's no questions asked, and the person that turns it in is not identified, then effectively -- we put a blindfold to law enforcement," David Mitcham, First Assistant District Attorney, told ABC13 several weeks ago.
Turner is set to announce the location of the next event and what else they may be doing differently this time around at 3:30 p.m. According to a news release from the city, partners for the upcoming event will include U.S. Congressman Al Green, Commissioner Rodney Ellis, Harris County Precinct 1, Councilmember Tiffany D. Thomas, District F, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner, and METRO representatives.
