Susan Morehouse of the Arnett Block Association reports that the gun buyback last Saturday was a huge success!

"I thought you all would like to hear even ahead of the media announcement the results of the Gun Buyback last Saturday. We brought in 244 guns, more than 1/2 were hand guns and of those only 10 were legally registered, ie more than 100 illegal handguns! Also one assault rifle was brought in with its magazines of ammo. I spoke with at least two young men bringing in their guns that were definitely coming from off the streets. The one young man said he was making some changes in his life and didn't want to be involved with guns anymore. Wow! It was an amazing day for us all. The RPD says this is the biggest single gun buyback ever in Rochester. Thank you to those who brought in food for the officers and people who brought in guns. It was much appreciated!    Susan "
