Phoenix police won't be selling seized guns after all.
The Phoenix city government would rather pay to store them and inventory them and transport them and melt them, instead of treating them as revenue-generating assets. And then come back and complain how they don't have enough money to do their job and need this bond measure or that tax increase...
This shows that the anti-self defense crowd is full of it when they say that they don't want to disarm, and don't fear, law abiding citizens.
ReplyDeleteThe simple fact is that they wet themselves over a licensed dealer selling a gun to a citizen who has just passed a gubmint mandated criminal background check.
I wonder what they do with automobiles that have been used by a drunken driver, in which the automobile "killed" a victim.
I just hope that the car that the moron who killed my brother was driving was melted down to make sheep earrings. I'd wet myself if I discovered that this car was still on "the street."
I bet they have no problem with selling those to "licensed dealers."

Won't you please help? Please also send boxes of pampers to the bed-wetters at Silent Witness.
Oh yeah - I will make sure that I never give a dime to Silent Witness. Pampers, maybe, but no money.
We went through the same thing with our city several years ago. They cut up all these guns which prompted "Chop a Councilman, not our guns" bumper sticker. Most of them lost in the next election. I still deal with this with other cities and politicians that are ignorant and think that these guns have been used in a crime and must be destroyed. That is untrue, these are seized, confiscated or turned in weapons. The ones that have been used in a crime are set aside if the case ever comes back on appeal.
ReplyDeleteSo they are destroying guns that have NEVER been used in a crime.
"Guns used in murders and other "heinous" acts would never be sold."
ReplyDeleteThey can distinquish an "evil" gun from an "ordinary gun".
