More About the Gun Buyback in Detroit

I was listening to the Paul W. Smith show on WJR, 760 AM this morning.

Detroit Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings was Paul W's guest for one segment, and she talked about the gun buyback. He asked Chief Bully-Cummings what happens to the guns the Detroit Police Department buys back.

She told him the buybacks are anonymous. They test each gun to make sure it wasn't used in the commission of a crime. Then they destroy the guns.

WHAT SHE SAID NEXT SENT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE.

She said "We destroy every gun we confiscate."

There you have it. Buybacks are disguised confiscations. And as Armed and Christian noted in my first buyback post, "$50-$200 for a firearm is a pretty poor deal; especially for an 'assault rifle.'"
