Maine hosts a statewide Gun Giveback event to recycle unwanted firearms and reduce gun violence.

Maine hosts a statewide Gun Giveback event, encouraging the safe disposal of unwanted firearms to reduce gun violence. Police departments collect guns and ammunition, then cut them up and melt them under supervision, recycling them into items like pens and jewelry. The initiative, supported by gun safety advocates and law enforcement, focuses on removing unwanted firearms from homes and preventing them from being used in crimes.
