233 firearms collected in Summit County gun buyback event [More]
So if “233 firearms were collected at the event and $34,325 in gift cards were given out,” even given the maximum payout of $100 per working gun (which assumes no non-working guns paid out at $25 each were collected), that opens the question of whose pockets the other (at least) $11,025 in gift cards ended up in…
The “authorized journalist” who wrote this up probably didn’t want to press the issue because math is racist.

Tangentially-related UPDATE
I wanted to check out the Summit County Sheriff’s social media to see if they were bragging about this so I could ask them about their addition, and the cover of their magazine was the top post:
Every supermarket I go to around here warns against putting children in the car basket, and indeed, the Consumer Product Safety Commission warns in an alert:
Every year, thousands of children are treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for falls from shopping carts. Falls from shopping carts are among the leading causes of head injuries to young children and most often occur when children stand up in the child seat or the cart basket.
So it figures the same “Only Ones” encouraging people who may not know the first thing about guns (or how to clear them) to handle and transport them are happily displaying how oblivious they are to basic child safety in general on the cover of their quarterly bulletin.
Then again, consider where the buck stops and the party that she represents.
