Gun buybacks allow people to relinquish working firearms to law enforcement, without questions asked, in exchange for cash.

In the wake of recent gun violence, Santa Clara County leaders voted Tuesday to improve the county's gun buyback and relinquishment program. The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors is asking the sheriff's office to hold two regularly scheduled gun buybacks per year. County leaders said that previous gun buybacks have been successful, with several hundred weapons surrendered at each event.
