Monroe County sits just ~50 miles from the Canadian border!
Lake Ontario separates Rochester's Monroe County from Ontario, Canada. This northern corridor creates a distinct gun trafficking route separate from the infamous I-95 'Iron Pipeline' that supplies most illegal guns to NYC.
NYC pays up to $200 per handgun surrendered — no questions asked!
New York's gun buyback program offers prepaid gift cards: $200 for handguns and assault-style weapons, $25 for rifles or shotguns. Since launching, the NYPD-run initiative has now surpassed 10,000 firearms collected citywide.
70%+ of illegal guns in NYC trace to the 'Iron Pipeline'!
The 'Iron Pipeline' is a law enforcement term for the I-95 corridor — Virginia, Georgia, and the Carolinas — where weak gun laws make it easy to buy firearms legally, then traffic them north to New York.
