I read or heard somewhere that confiscated guns that are stolen, or something(??) Cannot be auctioned off. No matter how rare they are, no matter the value, they're melted down. I don't recall what category of confiscation it is, because I know police depts. have auctions, but I heard it somewhere.

How much is just one of those mini guns worth now. And the historic value of some of them. Lawful citizen collectors could be continuing the use of some of those weapons and the others could be in museums. Others (though outdated) could be used to train soldiers on the enemies weapons and train reserves/national guardsmen.

What a freakin tragedy!

If they showed a field of International Harvester M1 Garands I wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight.

Truly A Shame.
Our Gov has also done its fair share of serious firearm destruction.

From the Addressee, It looks like the UK.

You know, NO GUNS ALLOWED.

Hey Chris, there was a pile of enfields, did anything look like one of yours?

Truly sad. Just think of all the BG's those guns could help rehabilitate.

Hard to tell Mike - thru the mist of tears!

I still think back to my first M27 going for destruction - that was gut-wrenching.

The pics were not from the US, but we do the same thing on smaller scale.

All guns involved in crimes and almost all guns "turned in" in MA are destroyed by the MA State Police. This is policy (I don't think it's law). So if a stolen gun is used in a crime, the insurance company/lawful owner is screwed even if the gun could have been reunited with the rightful owner.

I have no love for NJ, but I own a former NJ SP H&K P7M8 that was refurbed (and had a seal ground off the slide) by H&K and resold here in MA (and elsewhere) about 6 years ago. They may have new "leadership" in NJ that decided to destroy their guns since that time, so my info is valid only for that time-frame.
