Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) is announcing a $250,000 city fund to support church and community sponsored gun buyback programs in Chicago.

During an October 16 town hall meeting at Keene State College, Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said Australia’s confiscation of firearms via a national buyback provides “a good example” for how other countries responded to mass shootings and she said it is “worth looking at” when considering gun policy in the U.S.

On Wednesday Boston Mayor Marty Walsh (D) relaunched his city’s gun buyback program after it had taken in only one gun for the entire year as of August 14.

A group of San Francisco medical marijuana dispensaries helped local law enforcement with its gun buyback program on Saturday by contributing thousands of dollars to help fund the effort to take guns off the streets.
