Police departments explore gun confiscation for profit [More]
And on the ever-present other hand:
Crouch said he is concerned that selling low-quality, cheap weapons to gun dealers makes them accessible to criminals.
“Citizens who are looking for a gun for self-defense or recreational use would not be interested in these guns,” he said. “That only leaves someone that would likely use it for something of illegitimate means.”
Or maybe somebody's who's poor and doesn't have the benefit of a tax plunder-funded gun of their own?
“People should realize that if the various departments need funds, then there needs to be revenue raised through taxes,” he said. “The idea that they sell confiscated guns involved in crimes to raise money to fight crimes is absurd.”
ReplyDeleteYeah, lets raise taxes instead of generating income from the seized guns. Tim sounds like a statist idiot to me.
