The Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, in collaboration with the NYPD, is organizing a gun buyback event in Bedford-Stuyvesant on April 5. Participants can exchange operable firearms and assault rifles for up to $500. Other types of firearms will incur lesser amounts, with no identification required for anonymity. DA Eric Gonzalez emphasizes the event's role in reducing gun violence, citing a significant decline in shootings and homicides. The church involved, Cornerstone Baptist, advocates for community safety and will support efforts to enhance life quality in Brooklyn.

This Saturday, every New Yorker has an opportunity to safely turn in a gun, reduce the risk of harm, earn some money, and help make our neighborhoods safer." District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.
We will continue to collaborate to create a safe community and improve the quality of life for all of Brooklyn," Cornerstone Baptist Church Pastor Lawrence E. Aker III.
