The United States leads the world by a far margin in the number of guns its citizens own. In 2023, they had a gun ownership rate, per capita, of 120.5 per 100 citizens. Compare this to the number two country, Yemen, which has half that amount – 52.8 per 100 citizens. It may be easy to see how the number of Americans who were either killed or injured by a firearm rose nearly every year from 2014 to 2021. In the last 50 years, more Americans have died by gun violence than a combined total of those lost in all wars in the country’s history.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, total firearm deaths and injuries rose from 34,221 to nearly 59,000 over this seven-year period, an increase of more than 70%. The recent surge in gun violence is thought to be a link by some experts to rising gun sales. A record-breaking 22.8 million firearms were purchased by Americans in 2020. Sales have fallen in the years since but the numbers are still astronomically high. (2021 saw 19.9 million purchases, and ranks as the industry’s second-best sales year on record, while 2022 had 16.6 million, and 2023 had 15.8 million.)
Municipalities and law enforcement agencies across the country have set up gun buyback programs in the hopes that guns will be taken off the street, reducing the likelihood of deadly violence. These initiatives allow gun owners to turn their firearms over to local authorities, often in exchange for cash or gift cards. Should certain areas not have these programs in place, gun owners may relinquish unwanted firearms to local police departments or sheriff’s offices.
Between 1988 and 2021, there were at least 550 gun buyback programs across 37 states, according to one report. In New York State, more than 7,000 firearms were voluntarily relinquished between 2019 and early 2023, according to the state’s Attorney General Letitia James. Not all states publish specific numbers, but the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives offers some insight into firearm tracing data.
24/7 Wall St. identified the states where most people are surrendering their guns by using 2022 ATF data. Figures were calculated by taking the difference between the total number of firearms traced and the number of traced guns less those voluntarily relinquished, as reported by the ATF. States are ranked by the estimated number of guns that were turned in for every 10,000 people with data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2022 American Community Survey.
It should be noted that there may be some cases where estimates include duplicate traces. Supplemental data on the estimated share of households that own a gun came from a 2020 study published by the RAND Corporation. The estimated number of guns voluntarily relinquished in 2022 ranges from fewer than 100 to nearly 23,000, depending on the state. The population-adjusted gun buyback rate among states ranges from around 1 for every 10,000 people to 6.5 per 10,000.
To reduce gun violence, gun buyback programs are typically implemented although there doesn’t appear to be much of a correlation between gun violence and buyback participation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, numerous states with the highest annual gun death rates are also home to many of the highest population-adjusted voluntary firearm relinquishment rates. (Here is a look at the states with the most gun crime.)
These buyback programs often face harsh criticism, one of which is the lack of correlation between gun violence and those who participate in buyback programs. Criminals generally will not be drawn to a weapon buyback program and even gun owners who do take part are typically not at a high risk of death by firearm. (These gun calibers are used the most to commit crime.)
