mccrack ken. >> good afternoon. it is mc crekren. i want to thank everybody here today for the invitation for the san francisco police department to participate in this gun buy back program. we have participated in this for the tenth year. this is a collaborative effort between law enforcement and the community, united players who handles this. we are so thrilled to be part of it like we have been every year. what we realize is that we become part of the trust and the process that the community wants to see between law enforcement and those that we are sworn to protect. rudy earlier today brought out those guns that are on the floor that many of you have taken a picture of. i am extremely confident had one of those guns on the floor not been taken in a gun buyback it might very well be an instrument that might have taken someone's life this year. i am confident we are a participant in saving lives. this opportunity that we have here in san francisco to reduce the gun violence, especially at the holiday season may save a child's life,
