Gun rights group makes cities reveal IDs of those who turned in guns for cash Hoping to reduce firearm injuries and deaths, Grand Rapids spent $40,000 and Oakland County spent $45,000 to buy used guns from the public last year. This year, a gun rights group rattled the eight police departments involved, demanding to know everything about the guns they received, including the names of those who turned them in. Grand Rapids conducted its event as 'no questions asked'; IDs weren't required. But Oakland County required all participants parting with guns to provide their names and addresses, according to Michigan Open Carry, a statewide gun rights group based in Lansing.
