Forget the government buyback programs that destroy guns after collecting them. The Armed Citizen Project is a private program that gives the guns to single mothers and the urban poor.
“We see this as a buyback we can believe in, one that removes old and
unused firearms from homes of existing gun owners, and uses them to
create new responsible gun owners in our own communities,” Kyle Coplen,
the Armed Citizen Project’s founder, said in a statement from the organization.
The group accepts both monetary and firearm donations. Donated guns
are provided, with training, after background checks are performed,
according to the statement.
On Aug. 10 the group will have its inaugural National Empowerment
Day, with plans to train as many as 500 women, and arm entire
neighborhoods in crime-ridden cities.
“We’ve combined Joe Biden’s love of shotguns with Obama’s love of redistribution,” Caplen said.
