FRAMINGHAM, MA — Framingham plans to get guns off the street with a different kind of gun buy-back program, using gift cards as an incentive. The "Gift Cards for Guns" initiative kicks off on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Through the initiative, residents can anonymously drop off their unwanted guns in the parking lot of the Capital Improvements Building. The event has a "No questions Asked and No ID required," policy. As an incentive to participate, residents will receive gift cards for each firearm they turn into public safety officers on the day of the event.

To drop off an unwanted gun, make sure it is unloaded, placed in a bag, box or case and placed in the backseat or the trunk of your vehicle. When you enter the drop-off location the day of the event, volunteers will provide further instructions upon entering to help expedite the process.
