I call Shenanigans....No other news outlet in New Orleans has made any mention of this. Nothing on the City of New Orleans government website. Nothing on Cantrell's Facebook page.

Look harder. I posted this here before. Here it is again.

Still think it's odd the only place it's being advertised is on the mayor's Facebook, and i highy doubt its $500 per gun, looks like $500 max per person.

How do you show proof of residency without showing something that identify's you?

I guess I'd only show the bottom line of an address, town and zip code.

$500 max per person, is that for multiple guns or one gun?

Phone or utility bills

Without showing your name those can be anyone's bills though

There's liable to be a surge in home invasions and burglaries just before this takes place.

My Dept. destroys close to 1000 guns a year that are picked up in street crimes.

If a gun is stolen does it get returned or destroyed?

It says max $500 per person and mentions bringing multiple guns.
I doubt they're shelling out 5 bills for one firearm. Nothing in that announcement indicates that.

Stolen firearms are returned to the owners unless they are used in a capital crime.

It is $500 for one gun. You cannot get more than $500 for additional guns. You get $500 for any working firearm. You can give them as many as you want.

Took four days, but an actual news outlet has picked up the story

23 minutes....they had enough money for 23 minutes of a scheduled 4 hour buyback

And now they know who has guns

If they wanted to buy back the guns, why did they sell them to these people in the first place? Ah-Ha! sell high-buy low, now I understand.

I can have a truckload of Jennings, Ravens, and RG's there in a week. It is only a 12 hour drive.

OK, 23 minutes is pretty good proof that they had no other intention than creating a sound bite for personal political enrichment.

Shame they had people leave their homes and waste their time for the betterment of some lame politician.

I wonder about the mood of the people lined up around the block that were then told they are out of money.
A crowd of frustrated people carrying many guns. Seems like a recipe for a problem.

Post 34 for the win!
