Every day, 120 Americans die as the result of gunfire, according to the National Center for Disease Control. Tragically, the proliferation of guns on our streets is at an all-time high. Firearm surrender programs provide a safe way to dispose of unused and unwanted guns.
Guns To Gardens Metro Denver – a grassroots community group working to reduce gun violence in the Denver Metro area by dismantling guns and forging the parts into life-giving tools – will be holding their Firearm Safe Surrender Event next week.
