Objectives: El programa aspira a comprar la mayor cantidad de armas y municiones a través de una inversión mínima de $200,000.00 en bonos aportados por el sector privado, con apoyo del gobierno. Todos los que tengan un arma legal o ilegal en su poder, pueden venderla sin mayor problema ya que no se les hará ningún tipo de preguntas y no se cuestionara la procedencia de las mismas. Tampoco es necesario que el vendedor se identifique.
