BEAUMONT — If you have a gun, you could receive a $100 gift card from a group of churches and community leaders teaming up to stop violence in Beaumont.
Pastors John Adolph and Randy Feldschau developed a program called "Not in My City" last summer in response to violence against officers.
Following four homicides in Beaumont in June alone, the program is trying to stop violence here through a gun "buy back" program.
A meeting about the gun buy back program will be held Monday at 11 a.m. at the Cathedral Church, off Eastex.
They're in the process of choosing an upcoming Friday, where they'll be stationed around Beaumont anonymously collecting guns, with the help of the Beaumont Police Department.
Those who turn in a working gun will receive a $100 gift card. The program has already received support from elected officials.
"We are aware of the fact that it will not eradicate gun violence in our city or county," says Adolph. "That's not the aim or ambition. The aim is to erase the mindset that's pushing it. To stand against it in unity to say 'Wait a minute this is killing us, and hurting us, it's not helping us.'"
The program has already received some support from elected officials.
"Most criminals are not going to be the ones to go in and turn in their hand gun," says Beaumont City Council member Audwin Samuel. "But it's a start.

GASP!! Isn’t this one of those gun sale loopholes the Dhimmicrats are always crying about!! This MUST be shut down!
If I decided to sell my gun, I would want cash money, not a gift certificate. And besides, I would not even let them look at it for $100.00. If my pastor said that he would give me a one hundred dollar gift certificate for my gun, I would tell him to take his one dollar gift certificate and buy him a gun of his own. And never return to that church.
I would clean the rust off it and keep it.
I’ll be out on the sidewalk with 2 Franklins if anyone wants a better deal.
So you can trade 4 rusty old .22 plinkers from the attic for a new Glock G42? Not a bad deal!
“If you have a gun, you could receive a $100 gift card from a group of churches...”
...valid only on the Church Gift Shoppe.
“We have some lovely crucifixes down that aisle, on the left...”
whos money are these pastors using to give out the $100? The congregations? Or are they using their own money acquired via a second job?
The Nazis were into gun control, weren't they.
LOL...it was my Pastor who encouraged me to get my CCW.
So again: The perps turn in the stolen guns they have, get the dough and go out and steal more guns. Whatta deal.
Christian gun owners should picket the event with signing mentioning that World War II era song, “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition.”
A start of what?
Sell them and buy new ones?

Clueless.
No, it's much much worse. It's like solving a problem by making it go away by taping one's eyes shut. It lets Beaumont City Council member Audwin Samuel and other liberals go happily on their way, smugly believing that they have DONE SOMETHING, without confronting the actual problem.
If Vermont and New Hampshire have lower homicide rates than Canada it's not because there aren't any guns.
$100 gift card
In other words not $100
Not even $100
Wish I was close enough! I have several old scrap guns that are great for turn in.
And I DO mean scrap! I would not fire any of them!
I would think the pastors could find a better use for their money.
