NYPD Collects Hundreds Of Guns, Including This Uzi, At Bronx Gun Buyback :: 06/06/2011
Yesterday, the NYPD held a gun buyback at three locations in the Bronx, offering $200 (for handguns) or $20 (for rifles and shotguns) bank cards in exchange for weapons, and collected hundreds of guns . Including an Uzi submachine gun.
The Post has a field day with that tidbit, with the headline, "Uzi does it at a Bx. gun buyback," and an article that begins, "A gun owner said goodbye to his little friend. An example of Tony Montana's weapon of choice was taken off the streets yesterday when the owner of an Uzi machine gun exchanged it for $200 at a Bronx gun buyback, a source said." Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. offered a positive quote, "Any day that you get an Uzi off the streets of The Bronx is a good day."
