Pixels for Pistols is a gun trade program launched in Toronto to get stolen guns off the street. It’s targeted at people who have guns in their homes illegally. These are the guns that are stolen and end up on the street used by criminals to kill people. The Toronto cops want guns out of homes in order to reduce the number of thefts.
The amnesty program, Pixels for Pistols, is a joint endeavour with the 26-store Henry's camera chain, based on Church St. in Toronto. For four weeks, Toronto residents who hand over a gun, legal or not, will receive a digital camera, either a Nikon Coolpix S52 or a Coolpix P60, listed at $230 and $190 on the Henry's website. The offer includes photography lessons.
