Guns from buy backs are resold by police departments
The person who turns in a gun can request to have it destroyed or have the police "use it as a credits to purchase a duty weapon or duty ammunition." Which appears to one a way of cloaking that they sell them back to the public and they aren't really being taken off the streets.
I see this as a con game by police.
