Falmouth group arguing to destroy surplus LE firearms instead of trade-in

[p..]

Falmouth police want to trade in 33 shotguns to buy more. Why gun safety advocates object.

Also, I'm paying too much for shotguns, apparently.

If the anti gun group wants them destroyed then they should put up the money that the department was going to get for the trade in. Now I don't think they should be destroyed. The whole think is just dumb.

It was the same with the ar15s. Absolutely ridiculous. And then we wonder why our town tax bill went up 17% last year

What’s wrong with the existing shotguns? It not like the cops are using them so much they wear out.

The logic of destroying them is so absurd. Of course they’re going to end up in civilian hands: what else would a gun shop do with them? Sell them to another police department?

And they’re shotguns, the fuddiest of guns, not even on the (current) agenda for banning. Do police trade-in shotguns ever get used in crimes?

Probably have to spend budgeted money on them

This just yet another evidence that shows some people on the other side absolutely cannot be reasoned with.

I think they should be destroyed/recycled as well.

But melt them down and turn them into AR’s instead of garden tools.

I'm sure Bloomturd who is funding them will reimburse the force.

"We watched as every gun was trashed," she said.

Logan hopes the surplus rifles can be destroyed in the same manner.

What a cu**

How many crimes are committed with a shotgun in MA each year? I'm guessing it's not that many.

Especially vs how many are owned. Each has its own use. I can see many owners that dont have many guns having at least a few configurations of shotgun. Absolutely dumb are these people.

1. Paywall.

2. This reared it dumbass head last fall. The folks in FoulMouth are just completely insane. My folks have lived on-Cape for. . . . . 20-somethign years and are getting tired of it. They left Falmouth 2 years ago partially over this. "It's just getting too stupid in this town." LOL.
