CAMDEN, NJ.- On Saturday, October 23, 2021 Acting Camden County Prosecutor Jill S. Mayer announced that you can turn in your guns, receive cash, and no questions will be asked. Today, Saturday, October 23, 2021, one of eight gun buybacks happening throughout New Jersey will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., New Jersey residents can safely and anonymously turn in their firearms at Antioch Baptist Church, located at 690 Ferry Avenue in Camden, New Jersey. In exchange for $250.00 per gun, up to three guns.
The Camden County Prosecutor's Office is co-hosting this event with The New Jersey Attorney General's Office, Division of Criminal Justice, with the help of Camden County Sheriff's Office and The Camden County Metro Police Department. Additional co-sponsors Cooper University Health Care and Virtua Health have generously donated a portion of the money distributed in exchange for firearms.
"Initiatives like the gun buyback program are effective means of combating senseless acts of gun violence," said Acting Camden County Prosecutor Jill S. Mayer. " Too often, we have seen a gun in a home fall into the wrong hands, only to be used later in a violent crime, or even worse, fall into the hands of a child. The Camden County Prosecutor's Office is proud to work with The Attorney General, or local Law Enforcement Partners, and Cooper University and Virtua Health, to help make our County and our State a safer place to live."
