Mahoning County needs money so bad. They should be selling these "expensive" guns, instead of burning them up.

American citizens need arming. Someday we may have to protect ourselves from the imbeded enemy amoung us.
The PC crowd will never get it.

"It's not cause and effect,.... But what the heck, let's throw out this misnomer anyway
but prison studies show that drugs and alcohol are related to 90 percent of crimes committed," he said.
Related as in the person querried said they had used drugs or alcohol at least one time in their life, or perhaps, just the words of those wishing to remove responsibility for their actions from themself by saying "the devil made me do it".

Don't grieve for the waste of guns. They were all undoubtedly junk, as the cops surely swiped all the ones of value and quality to keep or sell for a little side income.

The 7,687 items delivered today to a local steel mill to burn included 595 handguns and 158 rifles, shotguns and other firearms. The firearms had been stored at the department's vice squad in 29 plastic containers and three huge plastic recycling bins.
Why? They could have just sold them to me.

They should be selling these "expensive" guns, instead of burning them up.Indeed. And did you notice that they stated the value of the drugs but not the guns? What's up with that?

Any of those guns that were legal should have been put up for auction, just like they do with any other legal thing that is seized pursuant to a criminal case (houses, cars, boats, TV's, etc.). Any taxpayer in that county should have standing to file suit demanding that the county maximize their revenue opportunities and minimize county expenditures and taxes.

"We find guns on nearly every search warrant and during car stops," Powell said. Does this concern anyone else? I can understand, to an extent, the fact that they can confiscate guns with a warrant, but during traffic stops?

Does anyone think the police went through any effort to ensure that any stolen firearms were returned to their rightful owners(*)?
(*) If someone's firearm is stolen and they collect insurance for the theft, the insurance company becomes the rightful owner of the firearm if it's recovered [though I believe in most cases it would be possible for the theft victim to 'buy back' the firearm by reimbursing the funds the insurance paid for it]. Many firearms, however, are stolen from ininsured people, who would very much like to get them back.
