Exchanging Guns For Computers & Consoles

Police officials in Mexico City have started a new program that allows residents to swap machine guns for computers and smaller guns for Xbox consoles.

Launching the program on Tuesday in the notorious inner-city barrio of Tepito, which police stormed last month, city police chief Joel Ortega said anyone who turns in a high-caliber weapon like a machine gun will get a computer. Owners can swap smaller guns for cash or Xbox video-game consoles under the plan.
