County program takes 243 guns off streets
Buy Back program reduces crime, and accidental shootings
December 16, 2008
By FRANK ABDERHOLDEN fabderholden@scn1.com
The number of guns taken off the streets by the Lake County Gun Buy Back program was up this year, bringing the total since the beginning of the program in 2001 to nearly 2,000.
Besides the usual assortment of old shotguns and hunting rifles collected on Saturday, there were some more villainous weapons that had been adapted for the street: two sawed off shotguns with sawed-off stocks and a sawed-off rifle.
"Some people say this isn't worth the money, but if collecting one of these guns saves a life, you can't put a price on that," said Andy Anderson, executive director of Crime Stoppers, which sponsors the program along with Lake County Chiefs of Police Association, the Lake County Sheriff's Office and the Lake County Metropolitan Enforcement Group. The program helps prevent accidental shootings, suicides, homicides, and other gun-related crimes.
Each gun will be run through the Northern Illinois Crime Laboratory to see if it was used in a crime and then will be destroyed, Anderson said.
"In no way does this infringe on someone's Second Amendment rights. These guns were forfeited without legislative or executive action," said Sheriff Mark Curran.
"As you can see, many of these were not well-maintained or kept in a safe location. That creates a risk, and that's why it is money well spent," Curran said.
Sheriff's deputies were stationed at each drop-off point in the county. The majority of handguns were revolvers, which Curran said are slowly becoming extinct because of the popularity of handguns with ammunition clips.
Lake County Crime Stoppers has a new mascot and his name is Officer Tips. Officer Tips was made possible through a donation from Ernie's Wrecking and Towing Service - Vernon Hills Illinois.
