San Mateo County authorities said Wednesday they collected 425 firearms in a gun buyback operation in San Carlos last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The county on Saturday held the first of five such events to be held through 2023, with $100 per pistol, shotgun or rifle and $200 per assault weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 425 collected, six were assault weapons and three were "ghost" weapons that were untraceable, county officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved spending up to $208,000 in reserves from revenue raised through Measure K, a voter-approved 2016 extension of a half-cent sales tax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office added $100,000 and the community group Citizens for a San Mateo County Gun Buyback contributed $67,000 to fund the events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Two more gun buyback events will be held in 2022, according to the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
