Very sad indeed!  When you elect a Bolshevik for your Governor this type of thing happens!

What criteria gets you on that list?  Hard to believe a Winchester 1894 manufactured in 1900 or 1904, the latter even in .32 Special, was used in a crime.

Through what office or program is this? Or is it an evidence destruction? If you know, let me know, I’m in a training class with someone from MSP for another month.

How sick is it that the perps who did the crimes probably walked and the guns that were used are probably stolen! Now they’re being destroyed and the rightful owners weren’t allowed to get them back and aren’t being compensated. Praise GOD our country is turning around and getting a president who who stands for its citizens and what’s right. Citizens of Michigan you need to wake up and vote people out that would destroy your constitutional rights and the tools that have made this country great!

This happens a lot a cross the country, in my city of Philadelphia they do it every year or so. It’s evidence that the cases have run the course, and they make a big deal, making a show out dumping them into a furnace. It’s a shame when a nice collectable gun gets destroyed!

Here in Kalifornia they have an ongoing program where you can turn in any firearm and get a $100 gift card.   A lot of guns worth well over the $100 get destroyed every year.

I like many of you find this disturbing. When my Father in Law was doing Gunsmith work, in the 60’s and 70’s, to feed his family, being retired on disability, he was still able to get around and knew firearms and was intrigued and interested by them, as many of us here are. He worked on Sears, J.C. Penny’s firearms, and the local police even, as it was with this last example that he learned of these programs besides reading it in the newspaper. He tried effortlessly to buy, or get on a list to have access legally to these firearms doomed for destruction, but nothing was ever to happen in his favor.

That makes a big difference if local agencies all over the state ship them to the state for destruction. I imagine there’s legislation requiring that process. 🙁

In Texas, each agency takes unclaimed firearms (or those unable to be owned by whoever game them up or had them confiscated) and can take ownership either for a business use within the agency (we might disable a firing fin on one and use it for training for example) or turn them into a dealer for credit towards something we can use. Either way, we do not just trash them….that’s nuts.

Stupid “buy-backs” do the same thing. Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.

I got to see some guns that escaped destruction at an area police facility (that will remain unnamed!) several years ago and it was good to see at least some were not destroyed. One even spent some time on the firing line with their Pistol Team. Government agencies don’t want to be in the gun business. I understand that. Most police agencies have FFL’s but not sure if that would allow them to transfer firearms to civilian buyers, even if the woke city administrators would allow it. They generally only use their FFL’s to purchase weapons and ammunition.

Some Agencies out here go through the guns and don’t always destroy them.  One of the sad parts is that the people that turn the guns in are really getting ripped off.   If they wanted them gone they could have taken them to a gun store or auction house and put them on consignment or sold them out right.

Many LEO’s are very much against the practice of buybacks and similar programs. While the serial numbers are in most cases checked to see if reported stolen it’s believed some were used in crimes and destroying them is possibly destroying critical evidence.
