There was video. Among the weapons were a Garand and a Springfield.

Enough to make a grown man cry.

Dang, two valuable pieces of history down the memory hole. At the very least they could've spared and resold the antique rifles and destroyed the rest that are replaceable on the market.

I was trying to comfort myself by imagining a dump truck full of Ravens, Lorcins, and other cheap POS's going into the smelter. Now that I know it included at least one Garand, I'm gonna cry.

I' didn't know that... darn, I didn't see the video

I would have thought that the "goodies" would have been cherrypicked, and that the "fodder" (Lorcins, Ravens, etc) were going in the pot, along with the rusted out POS and stuff with really damaged recievers, etc,

I had NO idea that "Nonreplacium" was being melted.

Now, I'm truly upset with the Idijits...I have figured that the "bread and circuses" routine was a dumb show for the cameras, but that someone would have had the foresight to remove the valuable stuff before the melt...
