SC: Confiscated gun sales considered

Augusta Chronicle

The Aiken Department of Public Safety wants to start selling some of its confiscated weapons to federally licensed dealers, ending a 10-year practice of destroying them.

By selling some confiscated guns, "You might be putting them in the hands of the lady who lives by herself and that's the only way she has to protect her home," he said.
---
Aiken officials say the last batch of weapons they sent to SLED for destruction could have netted their department between $15,000 and $20,000 if sold to a licensed gun dealer.
---
"If you look at what we destroyed last time you could have easily paid for half of the cost for purchasing weapons for the police officers," he said.

I'm pretty sure they're less concerned with the lady who lives by herself than the revenue but what the hell. It's a damn stupid policy and it should be changed. What surprised me about the story is that there was no wringing of hands and "blood on the streets" quote from the antis. Nice for a change.
