The city of Tucson held a gun buyback, giving 50 dollars in grocery cards for every weapon turned in. An NRA spokesman said there's no problem with that. But Arizona's state law prohibited the city from destroying the guns. Instead he said the guns should _3_ firearms dealers to be put back in circulation or given away. The city said the law _4_ seized or abandoned firearms, not those turned in voluntarily. So police sent 205 weapons to be shredded Tuesday afternoon. The NRA says it will work with the Arizona's Legislature to clarify the law and prevent future firearm destruction. Ted Robbins, NPR News, Tucson.
