The city of Omaha, Nebraska, announced that its $10,000 gun amnesty program would pay $50 for every real gun turned in and $1 for every toy gun. "Guns, real and toy, are a danger to our community when they are used in the wrong way," Mayor P.J. Morgan said. "With the toy-gun amnesty, we are trying to instill a knowledge that guns and violence have no place in our community."
