Chicago area gun owners traded in their firearms for gift cards on Saturday as part of the fourth annual "Gun Buy-Back" event.
People had 27 different sites around the city to choose from.
Gun owners received gift cards ranging from $10 to $100, depending on the gun.
Police say as of late Saturday, they've collected nearly 2,000 guns.

These people turning in their guns are doing so because the gun is worthless, has been used in a crime, is stolen or other wise not of use any more. They are not people like you and I that keep guns for protection or hunting. The gun laws in Chicago can not be compared to those of NC. To the cops and the wife's of cops, you need a better understanding of Chicago, this is one crooked city, From the mayor on down. When they die they are screwed into the ground.

Haha, Its "greenbacks for guns". Go head and double up and buy a car in cash for clunkers too. These people are so dumb, don't turn in your guns, please. You just erode our constitutional rights.
