This has to be the silliest concept ever for a gun buyback. They're going to "decommission" the guns and give them to local artists, thinking it will make some statement about gun violence. I think it's more likely that kids will see the cool gun art and think "Hmmm, I gotta get some of those guns." So bring it on, I guess. Sorry, this link has a million pop-ups and a huge video ad.
"This is really piggy backing off of the art of the guns in the hands of artists exhibit that we hosted here earlier this summer and so we are taking it to the next level and we hope to get all the guns from the buy-back have them decommissioned and give them to local artists," said Brelie, Senior Director of Communications and PR.
The idea comes from artist, Jonathan Ferrara, he worked with New Orleans city leaders to get decommissioned guns to local artists to make statements about gun violence."
