Wear Orange! Wilton Quakers for National Gun Violence Prevention weekend yesterday 6/9/2024. Gun violence is so common in America we sometimes don't realize there are over 40,000 killed a year and that as of last year guns are the leading cause of death for kids (surpassing the automobile.).
If you work for peace, remember this terrible "local war" needs your action too! Know it! Fix it! Vote!
The 2024 Norwalk Gun Buyback was a success! This year, Norwalk PD collected 36 weapons including FIVE assault weapons in exchange for gift cards provided by Wilton Quaker Meeting. This was the first year guns were accepted anonymously by the Norwalk PD. Thirty gun safes were distributed for free within the first hour of the buyback. Our first gun buyback was set up to mold gun barrels into gardening tools.
