Tell Us: Nassau Gun Buy Back

The county will be paying cash for firearms. Will that make us safer?

There has been much debate since the Newtown tragedy about whether getting guns off the street will make a difference.

Nassau County will try to get some firearms back this month at a Gun Buy-Back program set for Feb. 16. 

It's not the first time the county has done this, and they've certainly had gun buy-backs prior to Newtown. Other areas have run similar programs and they're usually successful at recovering weapons.

But we want to know if you think this type of program makes us safer.
