育空地区政府拒绝联邦对限制火器的回购方案,称其不公平和无效。

批评者认为,该方案针对的是守法的枪支拥有者,报酬很低,而没有减少枪支犯罪的证据。
Critics argue the program targets law-abiding gun owners with low compensation, while offering no proven reduction in gun crime.
育空司法部长劳拉·兰表示,该倡议浪费资源,且不会被参与,呼吁联邦政府在区域定制解决方案上展开合作。

该方案以先到先得的方式实施,每支火器最多可提供10 000美元,但因对暴力影响最小和缺乏付款保障而遭到批评。
The program, which runs on a first-come, first-served basis, offers up to $10,000 per firearm but has faced criticism for minimal impact on violence and lack of guaranteed payment.
