I work for a company that manages and tracks gift cards, and I blogged today about gift cards for guns on savvywallet.com. I have mixed feelings. I think offering gift cards for guns is better than offering cash. And, taking hand guns and high powered rifles off the streets does make a difference. However, it does not mean the streets will be safer. They can be correlated, but I don't believe they are chicken and egg. Education is key. Police departments and organizations who are 'chasing' the guns need to supplement the buy back with other means of positive influence. Interesting post.
