Some give up their guns as others rally against tighter laws

(MCT) — DALLAS — On one side of Young Street, volunteers from the First Presbyterian Church of Dallas attempted to persuade gun owners to turn in their firearms. They would receive $50 to $200 — from donors — and know that their guns would be destroyed.

Across the downtown street, members of the Right Group — formed to compete with the church event — set up in a rented vacant lot to urge visitors to resell their firearms rather than destroy them. They had signs reading “We pay more” and “Gun rescue.”
