    "Denver Broncos collect 189 firearms at first gun buyback event
    This was the first of eight gun buyback events scheduled for this year.
    It's an effort the team says is aimed at reducing gun violence in the community."

    "DENVER — The Denver Broncos collected 189 firearms at Empower Field
    Saturday during the first of eight gun buyback events that will be
    hosted this year by the team and the nonprofit RAWtools.

    In an effort to reduce gun violence in the community, the Broncos
    announced their partnership with the nonprofit, Denver City
    Councilmember Amanda Sawyer and Aurora At-Large Councilmember Curtis
    Gardner in a press release on March 3.

    During the event on Saturday, attendees were also able to see how a gun
    is turned into a garden tool and community voices were able to share how
    their lives have been impacted by gun violence."

    I thought turning guns into garden tools was a particularly
    humorous touch. They could probably raise more money if the turned them
    into art and sold NFTs. It would be nice to have a throne made out of
    guns for Halloween--and other special events. That probably wouldn't be..........something or another enough for these folks. I dunno, maybe
    not "smurfy" enough?
