Maui residents get a no-questions-asked chance to hand over illegal fireworks and unwanted guns this Saturday in exchange for grocery gift cards, a modest win for public safety on the island.

• State law enforcement is hosting a fireworks and gun buyback event this Saturday on Maui.
• Illegal aerial fireworks like cakes, mortars, and Roman candles will be accepted.
• Handguns, rifles, shotguns, and bump stocks can also be turned in.
• Nobody will be asked questions, and Foodland gift cards worth up to $200 are offered in return.

Outlook: Expect fewer illegal fireworks and stray weapons in circulation ahead of the holiday season, though the reach depends on how many residents show up.
