I’m still scratching my head about why anyone cares about this. If someone killed a relative of mine with a gun, I’d rather it be destroyed than resold to someone else.
I'm betting none were used in a killing. I'm not sure why Oregonians were proud to showoff that they can destroy firearms.
You’re guessing like I am. Stolen guns with no serial number need to be kept in circulation?
I'm just talking about the auction I'm going to. Why don't you call your local cop shop and see if you can help destroy some guns or sponsor a gun buy back if it tickles you so.
Yeah, that exactly what I said....but I guess I shouldn’t have expected a well thought out answer. You could just walk into any gun store and buy one of the hundreds of thousands of guns that are currently for sale.
I think the problem a lot of folks have with this, is that they're establishing the mechanism/process through which to destroy confiscated firearms. Right now? Yeah....maybe they're confiscated for legitimate reasons. Tomorrow? Who knows. You establish data bases, you pass laws to legally confiscate, you establish a means of destruction. Makes thing a hell of a lot easier when they decide to full on violate our 2nd amendment rights. As far as I'm concerned, give the [bleep] NO quarter. Not one [bleep] inch. Paranoid? Maybe.....but I live in an area where the federal govt decided they wanted to establish a national park so they flat out stole 1000's of acres and forcefully moved the legal owners off it. Land that the families had occupied for 200 years or more. I have zero trust or faith in the govt.
