Gun Buybacks

[Free-Fall]

If the NYPD didn't want the guns on the street then they shouldn't have put them there in the first place then they wouldn't have to buy them BACK.  Since if they're buying them BACK then that means that they were theirs to begin with right?  Where does they money come from and where do the guns go?  I wonder how hard they try to get them back to the owners if they come up stolen if they even check to see if they're stolen.
