Gun buybacks are a common enough thing here in the United States that most of us don’t think all that much about it. Well, except maybe to make fun of them for not accomplishing anything.

The disarmament plan is part of the government’s “integral strategy” for fighting crime.

It seems kids could also turn their toy guns in for other toys, because that’s the real problem in Mexico and not terrorist criminal organizations having control of large portions of the country.
Now, let’s understand how this buyback is going to work. […]
