One very quickly tires of governments great and small violating the law. Willful destruction of public property is a crime. Everyone responsible for destroying one million dollars worth of public property (guns) should be prosecuted for it.

You mean, some one at last realized, that guns don’t kill. People using guns kill people.

Tucson is one of the most leftist places in Arizona.

A brother lives there and calls it the SF of the Southwest. A shame, there is a lot to like about northern Tucson.

Since 2013 they have ordered 4,820 guns to be destroyed, conservatively valued at between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Guns sold at auction by police routinely bring $100 – $200. One gun destroyed by the city is claimed to have been a rare collectible valued at $10,000.

OMG! What a waste.

And what sort of idiot turns in their guns? I just don't see the incentive. All it would do is put you on the police radar and leave you defenseless.

“One gun destroyed by the city is claimed to have been a rare collectible valued at $10,000.”

Anyone else think maybe certain guns like this got pocketed and only reportedly destroyed?

When I read of city governments doing these firearm destruction campaigns I have to wonder how they handle their police department firearm purchase contracts.

Most police departments when buying new firearms contract with a gun seller to trade in their old firearms for credit on the new firearms.

Anyone have any idea if Tucson made deals like this when replacing police weapons?

If they did their destruction of turned-in or confiscated weapons is simply foolish hypocrisy.
