The Miramar Police Department will stage another Guns for Funds buyback drive after a successful haul of nearly 200 guns voluntarily turned in 2021. The event will be held on Saturday, January 14, 2023, from 10am-2pm at St. Stephen Protomartyr Catholic Church located at 2000 South State Road 7, Miramar, FL 33023.
The goal of the Guns for Funds buyback program is to get more firearms off the streets. It is 100% anonymous and allows for individuals to safely dispose of their guns and receive gift cards of up to $100 for each handgun surrendered; up to $150 for each semi-automatic rifle or shotgun and up to $200 for each rifle turned in. All guns brought to the event must be unloaded and placed in the trunk of a vehicle. There is no limit to the number of guns dropped off and no identification is necessary. Free gunlocks will also be provided at the event.
“Anything we can do to remove unwanted guns that could get into the wrong hands is what we will continually strive for” stated Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis who launched The Guns for Funds buyback program. “After overspending during the holiday, January is an opportune time for residents to turn in their unwanted guns for funds.”
Guns for Funds buyback is in partnership with the Broward Sheriff’s Office, Broward League of Women’s Voters, and Crime Stoppers.
