Day 3 - We need your support now!

The 2006 Buyback is exceeding expectations. As a result, we quickly went through 60 gift cards. Because we are offering meaningful incentives to turn in firearms - a $200 Target gift card for working handguns - this gets expensive real quick. 60 guns = $12,000.

Because the Buyback is premised on a "no questions asked" policy, it is not possible to accept guns and tell the courageous individuals turning them in that we'll "get back to them later" with their gift card. Nor would it be acceptable to turn away someone who wants to do the right thing! So, clearly, we need your support NOW.

Businesses or individuals wishing to support the program and take a gun off the street can send contributions to:

Gun BuyBack Program
c/o  Boston Ten Point Coalition
215 Forest Hills Street
Jamaica Plain, MA 02130

Every dollar will be used to purchase gift cards in exchange for guns taken off the streets.
