Load the weapon onto a conveyor belt and feed it into a gun chipper, turn it into scrap metal and recycle it.
“We say goodbye and good barriers to thousands of illegal guns that no longer threaten the safety of the community, family or our children,” Adams said in a press conference. “This is by delivering more than 3,500 illegal guns to their final destination: into the gun chipper, turning it into scrap metal, eventually turning it into scrap metal, and eventually being recycled.”

“These guns will never be used to endanger another child, frighten another New Yorker or destroy another life. Although today's destruction has blocked a river and led to a sea of violence, we know there will always be more work to be done. We will continue to be desperately urgently and urgently need more work – more officials, more security, and we continue to phase out the city of New York City to eliminate New York City.
As the gun is placed through a shredder, Adams asks the families of people affected by gun violence to call out the names of their killed relatives.
“I want to thank them for participating in this important project,” said New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch. “These guns have no place in our community. They shocked the fear, caused pain and destroyed lives. They are here, in the torn box of industrial metal chippers.”
Recycled gun materials are being donated to the Cooperative Institute of Technical Education (COOP TECH), and students will weld metals to memorials to honor victims affected by gun violence and their families.

“From day one, this administration has gone all out to reduce gun violence,” Adams said. “From our Gun Violence Prevention Task Force to our Neighborhood Security Team, I testified before Congress about gun violence, urging the Supreme Court to uphold the Gun Safety Act, work with leaders and mayors across the country, and prosecute ghost gun manufacturers and marketers.”
