The Albuquerque Police Department (APD) and New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence (NMPGV) have partnered to host several gun buyback events. These events have been successful in collecting a significant number of firearms from the community. However, the question of what happens to these guns after they are collected remains a question. The summary provided does not explicitly state what happens to the collected guns. It only mentions that the guns are collected and then the question of what happens to them is left unanswered. To understand the fate of these guns, we need to delve deeper into the specifics of the buyback programs and the organizations involved.
