TOMORROW May 10th, 3:00 pm, MCCA has not taken a Position

LD 516: Hearing: An Act To Establish a Statewide Voluntary Firearm Collection Day and Ongoing Program, (Reps. Brooks and Cardone)

The Bill directs the Commissioner of Public Safety to design, implement and administer a statewide voluntary firearm collection day, the purpose of which is to provide to any person an annual, one-day opportunity to voluntarily turn over any firearm or ammunition in the person's possession to a law enforcement officer at a number of sites conveniently located throughout the State and establish a year-round voluntary firearm collection program administered by the Bureau of State Police.  

Sec. 6 says: “Local ongoing voluntary firearm collection programs. The commissioner shall provide technical assistance and, as necessary and as resources allow, financial assistance to any municipal or county law enforcement agency that elects to establish an ongoing voluntary firearm collection program within its area of jurisdiction.”
