Indiana House Panel to Debate Banning Gun Buy-Backs

INDIANAPOLIS (AP): An Indiana House panel is set to review a bill prohibiting local governments from holding gun buy-back programs. The House Public Policy Committee is scheduled to hear testimony on the bill Tuesday. Gun buy-backs sometimes are used to give residents an outlet to get rid of weapons without penalty. Those guns are then often destroyed. Opponents argue the measure takes the choice to hold such events away from cities and police departments.
