Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly says a total 2,267 firearms were taken in around the city in four days. Says Kelly: "That's potentially over 2,000 lives saved."
The program has bought more than 5,000 guns since 2002 - using $140,000 taken from drug dealers. Morgenthau says, "I can't think of a better way to recycle drug money."
Anyone who brought in a gun was handed a $200 bank card - no questions asked.
