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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
