Gun Buyback Success

Research suggests that other than making people feel like they are doing good, gun buyback programs do not prevent gun violence. And according to Jon Vernick, professor at the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, "there's no evidence linking them to a reduction in street crime"

But here is a recent example of a positive (albeit, unintentional) outcome of a gun buyback program:
