guns are not only legal, they are our ONLY specifically-protected possessions in our constitutional republic.
for the government to destroy them is both irrational and wasteful
either they belong to a citizen, in which case they should be returned immediately,
or else there are no owners or heirs (very rare) in which case they should be sold, and the proceeds donated to charity or perhaps maybe escheated to the general fund of the state or city involved
if the government says it will “destroy” this property....
we need to watch them very very carefully.
all property, all firearms, have some market value
and
police like guns anyway, a well-known fact is that many police are gun collectors, marksmen, hunters, etc and etc
put simply... there are enough dishonest people on Rock Three ....including in government......perhaps especially in government..... that these items need to be watched lest they just get stolen
yes, police and government agents can and sometimes do steal things they’ve seized
honest police? yes indeed! crooked cops? yes indeed!
there are both kinds
this stuff needs to be watched
Well stated.
