Mexico offers cash to get guns off the streets: $1,200 for an AK-47 rifle and $1,300 for a machine gun
The plan, called "Yes to Disarmament, Yes to Peace," will offer cash to those who anonymously leave weapons at designated drop-off locations.
Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has launched the nationwide "Yes to Disarmament, Yes to Peace" program.
The program offers cash to citizens who anonymously surrender firearms, including $430 for revolvers, $1,200 for AK-47s, and $1,300 for machine guns.
The weapons will be destroyed.
The program, expanded from a 2019 Mexico City initiative, aims to combat violent crime, with firearms responsible for 70% of Mexico’s 31,062 homicides in 2023.

Buyback programs ended gun violence in Australia you bootlicker
Buyback programs were a piece of the Australian program; far from the whole thing. Requiring gun licenses and the creation of the firearms registry probably had more to do with it than the buyback programs.
I didn't ask for a pedant.
Gun buyback programs remove guns from circulation which is inherently a good thing if you want gun violence to decrease.
Well you got one because the tone that you use to speak with people lets them infer that you’re a complete asshole.
Gun buyback programs on their own are incredibly expensive with almost no correlation to decreasing violence or gun crimes.
Buyback programs collect ancient, worthless and broken guns, funding people to buy better guns.
Pictured: A bunch of crappy guns. Probably a shitload of antiques getting trashed because idiots, "Less means good!"
Pro tip: Keep using "bootlicker". It's a simple burn that let's everyone know you're "right thinking" and the OP you replied to is a fascist. Gets lots up upvotes, makes you feel good.
Yeah because nobody would ever ever shoot someone with a stale gun.
You are a dumb bootlicker. It means you suck the cocks of authoritarian strong men in absence of a real ideology.
I hope one day you accidentally do mushrooms and discover self reflection.
