National Handgun Buyback Program

The National Handgun Buyback Program is an initiative where government or authorized agencies purchase used or unwanted handguns from civilians, often with financial compensation. The goal is to reduce the number of firearms in public circulation, thereby helping to lower gun-related violence and accidents. Participants willingly surrender their weapons, and in return, they receive compensation, usually cash or gift cards. These programs focus on promoting community safety by removing firearms from households, especially those that may pose a risk if misused or left unsecured.
