The event, which will be held from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 24 at The Icon in Detroit, will also consist of an expungement and felon-friendly job fair.

The flier says the gun exchange will be “no questions asked,” with handguns and non-automatic firearms to be bought for $100 and semi-automatic and automatic assault rifles to be bought for $200.

Skilla Baby said he recognizes the Second Amendment right to own firearms — but he’s also a big advocate of safety protocols, proper storage and secure communities.

“I know with my influence, I can urge people to clean their records, get jobs and get guns off the street,” he said. “In the future, I want to do gun safety classes, fun stuff like that.”

“We know the power of joining forces with a city, with influencers, with these icons,” [Hannah Jones, national director of organizing for Brady: United Against Gun Violence] said. “That's how we got together.
