Stamford Cops Want Violent Video Games In Gun Buy-back

STAMFORD, Conn. — Stamford police will be collecting violent video games Saturday during their gun buy-back program. “This program advances our local efforts here in Stamford to prevent the result of gun violence, injury and death,” Ted Jankowski, director of Public Safety, Health, and Wellness, said in a city news release. “The opportunity to remove illegal guns and ammunitions and to remove the negative influence of violent video games will send a positive message to our community for the betterment of our children," Mayor Michael Pavia said in the release. "On every level, as a society, we will not tolerate this kind of violence.”  The gun buy-back event is the third the police department has run since the start of December. The department collected two shotguns, five rifles, 14 revolvers, 11 pistols, two BB guns, two swords and a battle ax during the first two events, the release said.
