NYPD Sending Thousands of Guns Out of State to be Melted Down This Week

[Cavalier Knight]

The NYPD has confiscated thousands of guns across the five boroughs and it wants to make sure those weapons don't get back on city streets. NY1 Criminal Justice Reporter Dean Meminger has an exclusive report about the police department's plans for those guns.

The question is what does really happen to all of those semi-automatic pistols and assault rifles police officers snatch off the streets.

Last week the NYPD and Brooklyn District announced a major gun trafficking takedown, which got 40 guns. It seems like every month we hear about cops conducting a different gun bust, or buyback programs that get residents to turn in hundreds of guns.

They did this for cars to help the auto manufacturers. I am sure the gun manufacturer are all in favor.

Maybe they should head to a gun shop and just buy up all his inventory, I'm sure he'd hate that....

Hmm lots of scary ARs and Uzis in that pile ;-p

Would love to see a gritty NY crime drama where the criminals come out shooting broken down 50 year old Marlin tube fed 22s, single action revolvers, and wood stock lever action deer rifles.... Mark Wahlberg with a rusty 10/22 and Clive Owen with Walmart plastic POS.

But But aren't they getting all marred up storing them that way?

To show you the absolute insanity that is the NYPD:

NYPD crushes illegal dirt bikes as a message to ‘knuckleheads’ | New York Post

And:

One is from the NYPD. One is from a totalitarian dictator showing who is boss.


You pick.

I certainly can't.
