“What we’d really like to see is the people who shouldn’t have handguns in the first place coming here to drop them off,” Patrolman John Benros told The Providence Journal. “And we’re not seeing those people today.” What else do you need to hear to know that all these firearms buyback programs are nothing more than gun control theater? That the City collected 42 guns in all? Or would you like to know the amount of time/money spent by the Providence Police Department administering the feel-good, do-nothing program, divided by 42? Who cares? Patrolman Benros knows the score. It’s street thugs 1, big-mouthed pols and their craven media toadies 0.
