(Providence, RI) -- Gun buyback events were held this weekend in Providence and Central Falls. Authorities say a total of 382 firearms were given to officers in exchange for a Visa gift card. Those returning weapons were given a 200-dollar gift card for handguns, a 100-dollar card for rifles and shotguns, and a 500-dollar card for an assault rifle or if the gun came back as stolen. Officials say the guns will be tested to see if any were involved in serious crimes. However, officers did not take down any personal information of those dropping off the guns.
