Shaquille O'Neal Sponsors Dallas Gun Buyback Event
The NBA legend's initiative aims to enhance community safety without supporting gun control measures.
- Shaquille O'Neal is sponsoring a gun buyback event in Dallas, Texas, offering $100 and $125 gift cards for handguns and long guns, respectively.
- The event, in collaboration with the Dallas County Sheriff's office, limits participants to turning in a maximum of three guns.
- O'Neal's support for the buyback does not equate to support for gun control, emphasizing instead an increase in police funding in response to school shootings.
- The buyback is set to take place at the Dallas County Sheriff’s Training Academy from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday.
- O'Neal has a history of working with law enforcement, being an honorary Fort Bend County special deputy.
