Sunset Park BID sponsors weapon buyback program
The Sunset Park Business Improvement District (BID) is urging anyone in the neighborhood who has an illegal gun to surrender it to authorities. To entice gun owners reluctant to give up their weapons, the BID is sweetening the pot by offer bank cards worth up to $200.
It’s all part of a gun buyback program set to take place on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Beit El Maqdis Islamic Center at 6206 Sixth Ave., from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Residents can surrender guns – no questions asked – and receive bank cards.
