I believe this is about confiscated weapons, not those used in the actual crime.

It provides an opportunity for some of the collectibles seized to get back into the mainstream. I know of some original Henry's, brass and iron frames, that might be in this mix.

I'm confused. If there was no crime, why was the weapon confiscated? If the city government is now entering the business of weapons wholesaling on the basis of taking away people's guns just because, I'd say we have the very definition of "perverse incentives".

confiscate? From who? Gang members, violent criminals, drug dealers?

And what are the odds that these guns were used in a Previous, yet unsolved crime. I would not take a chance...I would rather pay a little extra than have to lawyer my way out of a later ‘arrest” cause the weapon was used somehwere 5 yrs ago!
