The King County Sheriff’s Office took in hundreds of weapons on Saturday, during its first-ever gun buy-back event in Burien.

The KCSO said they received 287 firearms and 10,000 rounds of ammunition and distributed over £36,000 in gift cards to community members.

“As your Sheriff, I am committed to doing everything I can to reduce gun violence in King County. The Gift Cards for Guns program is an important step in making our communities safer through a simple, voluntary process. I’m proud to support it,” said Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall.

The firearms received were:

  • 11 AR-15/AK-47
  • 68 Pistols
  • 46 Revolvers
  • 70 Shotguns
  • 75 Rifles (not AR-15)
  • 8 Muzzle loading
  • 7 Antiques
  • 2 Other

The guns will be destroyed at a facility in Spokane to ensure that they will never be on the streets.

“Thank you to everyone that participated in the event, and to @KCCouncil for making today happen,” the KCSO said in a tweet.

For anyone that missed the event, the KCSO said that they do accept unwanted guns at their offices, but ask that people call ahead.

During today’s Gift Cards for Guns event, we received 287 firearms (varying types), approx.

10k rounds of ammunition, and distributed over £36,000 in gift cards to community members.
