Promises may not be fulfilled for lots of gun owners who turned over their firearms Thursday, Jan 17, 2013 Marin County's gun buyback program has become a victim of its own success. During its first-ever gun buyback event on Tuesday, the county collected 827 guns and more than 1,500 rounds of ammunition, most of it from Marin County residents, according to the district by Text-Enhance">attorney's office, which organized the event. Those turning in guns were given $200 for semi-automatic handguns or long guns, and $100 for other guns. But the $43,000 in cash that was available to those surrendering firearms was depleted within 90 minutes. When the cash ran out, participants were given vouchers that they were told they could redeem within 30 days. Marin County District Attorney Ed Berberian said $70,000 in vouchers was distributed. However, it now appears those with vouchers might not be paid unless the county receives more donations for its buyback program, Berberian said today. nbcbayarea.com
