BERGEN COUNTY — Bergen County's second-ever gun buyback will be held at churches and community centers around the county this weekend — the latest in a host of similar programs around New Jersey.

Firearms experts from the Bergen County Sheriff's Office will be on hand to inspect and purchase guns "no questions asked" from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, according to Inspector Mickey Bradley.

"Bring it to us, we'll dispose of it properly," he said.

The last time Bergen County held a buyback, in 2010, the Sheriff's Office spent $56,000 on 703 guns, Bradley said. This year, they have a budget of $66,000 and have raised the amount offered for assault-style weapons and machine guns to $300, up from $150 in 2010.

They're also offering $80 for rifles and shotguns, $100 for handguns and $20 for all non-operational weapons, and will accept surrendered ammunition as well. The money comes from the Bergen Prosecutor's Office in the form of forfeiture funds, which are assets seized from criminal enterprises.

Bergen's buyback is the latest in a host of similar events held around the state, as a rash of high-profile shootings has brought the gun control debate to the fore. NJ Spotlight reported earlier this month that more than $1.2 million had been spent on gun buybacks statewide, though many experts agree that buybacks are only part of the solution to curbing gun violence.

A recent gun buyback in Somerset County brought in 1,302 weapons.

Bradley said the Sheriff's Office is only looking to take guns from those who didn't want them anyway.

"This is only for unwanted guns," he said. "We're not looking to take away anyone's Second Amendment rights."

Still, he said, unwanted guns present a danger when they fall into the possession of those not properly trained to use them.

"(In 2010) people were wanting to turn in guns where their relatives died, they go through their estate, and they don't want them but don't have a way to dispose of them," he said.

Bergen's buyback will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at locations in Hackensack, Englewood, Garfield, Fair Lawn, New Milford, Maywood and Park Ridge.
