“What’s more important? Some victims, victims’ families are gonna see it probably as, ‘I’d like to see the person prosecuted over you getting the gun off the street’, but from a public safety perspective getting any gun off the street if it has the potential to harm someone may be just as effective so there’s certainly considerations that need to be given,” Swenszkowski said. This allows for the possibility of a gun being turned in that was used in a crime. In order to get more guns off the streets, the program has a no-questions-asked policy. “I know in Utica, New York, Houston, Texas, and Spartenburg, South Carolina that 3D printed guns were submitted to the gun buyback program,” Swenszkowski said.Īccording to the state Attorney General’s Office, an individual in Utica exploited the program. He says 3D guns have been turned in in other buyback programs around the country. He’s also the Assistant Sheriff of Oneida County, and has 30 years of law enforcement experience. Robert Swenszkowski is Utica University’s Professor of Practice.
