LAist Featured Photos contributer Jonathan Alcorn caught this scene in Compton on Saturday: "In an effort to reduce violence, 156 guns were collected by Los Angeles County Sheriff's representatives in Compton during the first three days of an annual exchange program, officials said today. People turning in guns to sheriff's personnel receive $50 gift cards for use at Best Buy, Home Depot, Ralphs or Target. Gift cards worth $100 were given for each of the first 50 guns turned in."

I'd be interested to compare the types of guns commonly used in violent crime with the types of guns commonly turned in at this kind of thing. It doesn't look like there are a lot of handguns, but maybe they're kicking around in the bottom of the carts?
