This stupidity is from Oregon:

No pictures of guns in school.
I am waiting for the book burning. You can't have those nasty cultural icons in a communist state.
Roaring, violence, death, streets...was this about Godzilla?
Or at least for the school district to pay someone to go through all the history textbooks and black out the guns.
Considering all the magnesium, aluminum, and plastics--maybe even some copper, tin and bronze--I would not want the "armor" made from such a bastardized alloy.
It's what the Left does....they know no different.
No bias in this story, nope, none at all.
Why was that almost as disturbing as a Holocause photo?
I cannot believe that a grown person wrote this tripe. It reads like a Dick and Jane primer, except for a couple of minor technical details, like molten lava.
Were these weapons made of igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rock?
I'll bet this person votes, too.
Self reliance is a culture, and gun rights are a big part of that.
The people who get warm and fuzzy over burning guns are no different from the Nazis who got warm and fuzzy burning Jewish books and art.
As if the criminals can't just steal more.
I was thinking "would you really feel safe, protected by a plate of melted down Raven .25s?'
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.
should sell them at a discount raise funds for the police force
the only ones of any value were most likely 'liberated' by the police before the death march to the steel mill...
What is probably left unsaid here is that the cops have already cherrypicked these over, and have "confiscated" anything worthwhile for keeping.
This is just another worthless propaganda stunt by the idjits in Philly, cheered along by the stupid Governor, who for some reason, enjoys support from a bipartisan base here in PA, people see Rendell as this smiling figure at sports events, and do not really look at his agenda.
A sad day indeed.

I do have to commend the writer of the article for his fair and balanced reporting! /sarcasm off
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...

I was playing the Oregon Trail this weekend on my Apple II/e emulator. We played this game -all of the time- in grade school. One of the best parts of the game is when you have to "hunt for food," and shoot at wild animals. Historically accurate, yes. PC, no.
