The topic of so-called “gun violence” is surrounded by misleading ideas and alleged statistics. From governmental agencies fudging the numbers on who qualifies as a child, to ignoring suicide completions when weighing the numbers, the firearm death and injury statistics are constantly bent to serve a narrative. Two gun turn-in events hosted in Chicago this weekend and they should spark debate.
The two events were hosted in tandem on the 14th of December, 2024.

Director Glen Brooks Office of Community Policing, will preview the two gun-turn ins that will be held on Saturday, December 14, 2024 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at House of Hope (752 E. 114th St.) and Chosen Bethel Family Ministries (6201 S. Sangamon).
All guns turned in will receive $100 gift cards each. Each BB gun, air gun or replica gun will receive a $10 gift card. These will be “no questions asked” turn-ins.
*Press is asked not to film faces of those turning in guns*
