Firearms collected at today’s buyback event in Lynwood
Lynwood, CA – Today, a gun buyback sponsored by Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn in partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Century Station and the City of Lynwood collected 336 guns, including 76 rifles and 44 shot guns. The event was held in a parking lot at the Lynwood Metro Station. Residents exchanged any unwanted gun for gift cards without being asked for any identifying information and without leaving their vehicles.
“The rain this morning did nothing to slow down our momentum in getting more of these deadly weapons out of our communities. I’m so thankful to every person who took us up on this opportunity to get unwanted guns away from their families and out of their homes,” said Supervisor Janice Hahn. “Thanks to our event, today there are 336 fewer guns out there that could be accidentally discharged, found by a child, or stolen and used to kill in a crime.”
Today’s event was Hahn’s 14th since May 2022 and the third she has held at the Lynwood Station Park & Ride lot. The event brought in 336 guns, including:
• 211 pistols
• 76 rifles
• 44 shotguns
• 1 ghost gun
• 4 assault weapons
• 35 gun parts and non functioning firearms
At each event, residents can bring in any firearms they have and turn them in exchange for gift cards purchased by Supervisor Hahn’s office. The guns are surrendered completely anonymously and are later destroyed.
