With the violent attack on a Connecticut elementary school weighing on many of their minds, hundreds of people turned in 460 guns to Baltimore Police at a buyback Saturday.

Sonia White, a 65-year-old Baltimore County grandmother was turning in her husband's old corrections department service revolver.

"After the incident yesterday it was time to get it out of the house," she said, adding that she cried when she went to pick her grandchildren Friday, realizing that a similar attack could have happened anywhere.

The event, which was funded by Klein's ShopRite supermarkets, had been scheduled long before the attack. But like White, many people turning out to trade in their guns for a $100 gift card to the stores said the school shooting was their reason for showing up.

"It's a poignant reminder of what can happen when you have guns in the home and what we don't want to happen in our communities," said Howard Klein, a vice president at ShopRite.

Many described having had a gun around the home for years and realizing yesterday that someone could use it to hurt their children or grandchildren.

"That really motivated me to come out," said Gary Barksdale, 30, who was dropping off two rifles with his father.

thats EXACTLY what i thought

This wont happen in Baltimore, kids at those schools are already packing.

It could be Hull or Newcastle here in the UK.

thank god those guns are off the streets, probably 1000s of lives saved now

Pretty sure there are hundreds of guns bought back every time Baltimore does that.
