The Omaha Police Department conducted its second gun amnesty drop-off of the year on Saturday, collecting 38 guns and approximately 3,000 rounds of ammunition.

The site at 30th and Spencer took in 11 shotguns, including two illegal short shotguns, 10 rifles (including one SKS and one air rifle), one pistol, 12 revolvers, three air pistols and one combo gun (.410 ga/22 cal). All were accepted between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. with no questions asked.

Gordon Mankin couldn't wait to drop off some old shotgun shells. “I'm moving and I had to clean it out and I have not hunted in 20 years."

The main objective was to just get guns off the street. “The message here is we are involved," said Dennis Anderson, president of the Emerging Leaders and Empowerment Network.

"That we are concerned and we do care and we are looking to take after the community and make sure the guns get off the street."

Sgt. Eric Nordby said they are making an impact. "What I'm most excited about is we did receive a SKS, which is an assault rifle, shoots a 762 by 39-caliber round or mm round. It can be a very dangerous round. It goes through houses, goes through walls and in a community it's used out here on the streets, both that make of gun and that caliber."

While this may be a sliver compared to what is out there, Sgt. Nordby said it can only help. "It's probably a drop in the bucket, but it is, at least it's something and each of the guns that we get, the 30 that we got last time, the 19 (so far) today, those guns can no longer be used in a crime."

For citizens like Mankin, it's a move in the right direction. “I think they're great. If they can get guns of the street that shouldn't be there, it's an excellent idea."

The guns collected were booked and taken to headquarters where ballistic tests will be done to see if they were used in any crimes. If they were not and were not reported stolen, they will be destroyed.
