The plan, called "Yes to Disarmament, Yes to Peace," will offer cash to those who anonymously leave weapons at designated drop-off locations.

Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has launched the nationwide “Yes to Disarmament, Yes to Peace” program.

The program offers cash to citizens who anonymously surrender firearms, including $430 for revolvers, $1,200 for AK-47s, and $1,300 for machine guns.

The weapons will be destroyed.

The program, expanded from a 2019 Mexico City initiative, aims to combat violent crime, with firearms responsible for 70% of Mexico’s 31,062 homicides in 2023.

    Step 1. Buy ~$500 AR15

    From where?

    If you’re in Mexico it would make more sense as the seller to sell it for the $1300.

    If you’re in the states, are you going to travel to and smuggle to Mexico?
