HAVERSTRAW, NY — In a continued effort to promote public safety and reduce gun violence, Rockland County District Attorney Tom Walsh, in partnership with the Town of Haverstraw Police Department, will host a community gun buyback event on Saturday, June 7, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Village Hall, 40 New Main Street.
Participants may anonymously surrender firearms in exchange for pre-paid gift cards:
- $500 for operable assault rifles
- $250 for operable handguns
- $75 for rifles or shotguns
- $25 for non-operable, replica, antique, homemade, or 3D-printed guns
Guns must be unloaded, placed in paper or plastic bags, and left in vehicle trunks for collection by law enforcement. There is no limit to the number of guns an individual can turn in, with the exception that all homemade or 3D-printed guns will receive a maximum of $25 total. The program excludes active or retired law enforcement officers and licensed gun dealers.
“This initiative is a meaningful step in reducing firearm-related tragedies,” said DA Walsh. “Every gun surrendered is one less opportunity for harm in our community.”
