Mayor Visits Bethlehem Star M.B. Church to Announce Gun -Turn Program
Mayor Richard M. Daley urged Chicagoans on Tuesday to give up their guns in exchange for a $100 prepaid MasterCard as part of the Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) fourth gun turn-in event to be held on July 26 at locations citywide.
"As we all know, gun violence is a national crisis, affecting cities and towns, large and small, in every part of our country. Gun violence is claiming the lives of too many victims, especially our young people. Every year in the United States more than 3,000 children and teenagers are killed by guns," Daley said in a news conference held at Bethlehem Star M.B. Church, 9231 S. Cottage Grove., at which he was joined by members of the faith-based community who support CAPS in the initiative.
