Gun owners were invited to get rid of their unwanted firearms Saturday as part of a gun buyback event in Park Hill
“We have people in our community who have lost, lost a loved one due to gun violence,” said Deacon Clarence McDavid with Cure d’Ars Catholic Church."Obviously, it is an individual who commits an act of violence, but a weapon makes that act of violence possible."“We need people to speak about it to stand up and speak about it in a strong way, in a way that says we can do better than this,” said McDavid.
“Guns to Gardens is a national movement of folks who think that we should do something about unwanted firearms in homes and communities,” said Taylor Davenport-Hudson, a volunteer and spokesperson for the group.People could drive up to the church’s parking lot and surrender their guns with no questions asked.
