A gun buyback program in Detroit will offer gift cards to sellers on the spot and, eventually, collectable jewelry for those who want to help support the cause.
Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon announced Monday the event is scheduled for June 11 at the Mathis Community Center. He says people can bring any unloaded gun -- no questions asked -- and receive a $50 gift card.
The collected weapons' serial numbers are incorporated into jewelry made from the melted metal. An organization called the Caliber Collection donates 20 percent of jewelry sales to future gun buyback programs.

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
