Muskegon-area violence: Additional manpower, task forces may be key to curbing crime | MLive.com:
"Gill also hopes to see another gun buyback program happen this spring or summer, as it was relatively successful in 2011.
The buyback, held at Corinthians Baptist Church at 2027 Peck St. in Muskegon Heights, invited residents of Muskegon and Muskegon Heights to turn in firearms for a monetary refund. Payouts ranged from $25 for nonworking handguns to $100 for assault weapons.
He said police will attempt to return the stolen guns to their owners.
But if they are unable to, those weapons will be melted down, along with the other guns turned in at the event, including several handguns, long guns and one assault rifle."
