NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — For the sixth year, the Metro Nashville Police Department is offering the chance for residents to exchange their guns for gift cards this weekend.
MNPD Chief said it’s being held in an effort to reduce gun violence, particularly among juveniles.
“We are asking all parents and guardians of juveniles, particularly teenagers, to seriously ask themselves whether there is an unwanted firearm in the home that could potentially be carried unlawfully by a teen,” Chief Anderson said. “There may also be situations where a person wants to get an unwanted gun out of the house, but did not know how to do so responsibly. This Gift Cards for Guns event affords that opportunity.”
