Instruments and cameras for guns
NEW ORLEANS -- "Horns for Guns," which trades musical instruments or cameras for weapons, will be held in two New Orleans locations on Saturday.
The gun exchange will be staged from 2-5 p.m. at Central City Progressive Baptist Church, and at the Treme Community Center.
Organizers say they'll take the guns with no questions asked.
Those turning in guns will be offered free music and photography lessons through the Roots of Music and Gulf South Photography organizations.
Derrick Tabb of the Rebirth Brass Band says that New Orleans has to put something other than a gun in the hands of kids to protect the city's uniqueness.
Sponsors of the event include the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana, New Orleans Police Department, Recovery School District and various musicians.

It is very bad that using of guns instead of musical instruments.There are many ways of protecting yhe city instead of giving the guns to the children.I hope of bringing this change.
