That’s the official goal, but it’s not necessarily what happens (“while many communities include buybacks in their overall gun violence prevention strategies, most research shows these events are ineffective at reducing homicides and suicides,” https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2022/08/30/gun-buybacks-are-popular-but-are-they-effective https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/sta... ).
