Cash for Guns on NY1

Brooklyn, NY came up with a great idea to collect illegal guns: Instituting a "no questions asked" program when people turn in handguns.  Anyone who brings a gun gets $200 in exchange.  People can turn in an unlimited amount of guns, but will only be paid for a maximum of three guns, or $600.  I found out about the program on NY1, Time Warner's news channel, but the story seemed so strange that I had to look it up.  The network reported that people receive $20 in exchange for each gun, with a max of $60 per person, and that over 6,000 guns had been collected and removed from the streets.  In later summaries of the same story, NY1 recited the correct figure once, but then the network continued to re-run the $20 recording.  Way to ruin the program NY1.  Who's going to go participate with monetary incentives like that?  I'm now slightly skeptical of future facts contained in NY1 news stories.
