Criminals are laughing about Saturday's gun buyback in 25 churches citywide.
My letter to RedEye about a former judge's own buyback program:
Hi Kenneth,Thank you for writing in to RedEye we'll keep your letter about the gunbuy-back program on file for possible future publication. Thanks for reading RedEye. -----Original Message-----From: Kenneth Salkover Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 3:00 PMTo: ctc-red-
Dear Editor: As a former judge, Raymond Figueroa should know his gun buyback program is just a harebrained scheme that doesn't reduce street violence("Taking a Stand," July 21). Gun buyback programs simply create a sellers' market for handguns, giving criminals an incentive to trade up to more sophisticated weaponry. Some buyback programs even offer more money than guns are worth on the street, giving criminals a significant profit opportunity. Gun buyback programs don't work. Gun bans don't work. Criminals find both laughable. The best defense against street violence is a populace that can legally arm itself against its gun-toting criminal adversaries.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Salkover

Gun bans won't work because of why we immigrated here years ago and people don't realize still that guns don't kill people, people kill people
