This will be Hahn’s 16th in a string of buyback events, collecting more than 2,600 firearms

South Whittier, CA—This Saturday, December 6, 2025, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn will hold a gun buyback event at the Community Resource Center in unincorporated South Whittier, in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Norwalk Station. The event will welcome residents from 9am to 1pm and offers an opportunity to exchange any gun for gift cards.

“Over and over again, the success of these buyback events has proven that our communities want a chance to play a role in making their own homes and streets safer. I’m proud to bring this opportunity back again ahead of the holiday season, ” said Hahn. “I encourage anyone who has a gun that they’ve thought about getting rid of but maybe haven’t known how, to take us up on this offer.”

Saturday’s buyback will be Hahn’s sixteenth. Between the previous events held in Lynwood, North Long Beach, Norwalk, Wilmington, Long Beach, Hawaiian Gardens, Artesia, Bellflower, Torrance, and Pico Rivera beginning in May 2022, Hahn’s initiative has taken in and destroyed 2,678 unwanted firearms.

There are important guidelines to participating in the buyback that ensure the safety of the public and deputies. Participants should not arrive on foot or transit, and should transport firearms unloaded and in the trunk of a vehicle.

Participants will receive gift cards in amounts according to the type of gun exchanged.
• Non-functioning firearms or parts: $50
• Working pistols, rifles shotguns: $100
• Ghost guns: $200
