abolt243 Posted February 27, 2014 at 01:09 AM Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 01:09 AM Another feel good, liberal reaction that does absolutely nothing to reduce crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazzinbird Posted February 27, 2014 at 02:47 AM Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 02:47 AM It's not anti-gun, it’s not pro-gun. It’s basically anti-crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockerXX Posted February 27, 2014 at 04:50 AM Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 04:50 AM Do they melt down that Humvee or Lexus they confiscate from some drug dealer? If it's anything like the towns around me they turn the high profile confiscated cars into celebrity cop cars and parade them around town like a circus act, the rest are generally auctioned off, auctioned is loosely used since it's usually never announced to the pubic instead it's a spur of the moment thing at some town meeting that conveniently all the connected people's friends and family all the sudden show up at... The village I used to live in did this all the time, never an announcement they were auctioning something off and then when reading the minutes of the meeting for that week you see they had a sealed bid for a confiscated car and it sold for $50 to a trustee or board member...

BRD 228 Posted February 27, 2014 at 04:55 AM Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 04:55 AM I wonder how much money we as citizens pay for this valuable service -- our tax dollars hard at work again. At least our state is flush in cash and can afford it. (in purple) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsoldier321 Posted February 27, 2014 at 06:26 AM Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 06:26 AM We probably do pay to have these destroyed too, while the government screams being broke! They could have avoided paying to destroy them, saved that money, and then auctioned them off to legal gun owners, and made even more money!! Watching them get crushed hurts!!

It's basically anti-crimeI wish the guy that said that would have explained how chopping up guns in police possession would reduce crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching them get crushed hurts!!They could easily auction these to FFL's or even the public and have the buyer get an FFL to transfer. what a waste.

If you are talking about Caseyville, IL, then it really is a small world. In the late 1990's, I shot USPSA and IDPA matches with a guy by the name of J.D. Roth. He was a cop and a police academy instructor. He made it to Chief of Police for Caseyville. Then there was some scandal involving car auctions and he decided to suck start a shotgun: http://www.bnd.com/2013/06/24/2669414/report-former-caseyville-police.html Hmmn... That article says the ATF was investigating him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
