3rd Annual Gun Buyback

SAVING LIVES, ONE GUN AT A TIME!
Santa Barbara Coalition Against Gun Violence
3rd ANNUAL GUN BUYBACK
CAGV 3rd Annual Gun Buyback will take place at Earl Warren Showgrounds and directed by Santa Barbara Police Department. The successful buybacks in 2014 and 2015 resulted in the removal of a grand total of 446 (239 in 2014 and 207 in 2015) firearms from our communities, any of which could have caused a suicide, homicide, accidental death or injury. CAGV and the SBPD have proven that gun buybacks get results and help educate the community. Gun buybacks are nonpartisan; they are effective in preventing accidents; they do not attempt to change laws. They simply provide a confidential setting to get rid of unwanted firearms.
-
If you have an old gun in your home that may not work the way it used to and you would like to get rid of it, so that it does not go off on you, jam, or cause an accidental injury, this is the time and place to get rid of it safely and properly.
-
If you have owned a gun for years, and now your personal or family situation has changed, this is the place to take it for safe disposal without question.
-
If you now have older children in the home, or a family member that might use your gun for unsafe reasons, this is the space you have to drop it off with very little time taken from your morning.
Thank you to our sponsors for their generous contributions – The Concert Across America, The City of Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Police Department and Earl Warren Showgrounds, and U.S. Congressman Salud Carbajal, for making our 3rd Annual Gun Buyback possible on June 10, 2017.
When: Saturday, June 10th
Time: 8:00am to 12:00pm
