Ariz. Legislators Want Cities to Resell Guns Turned in During Buyback Programs

Instead of melting them

(Reuters) - Arizona lawmakers, stepping into the contentious national gun control debate, approved a controversial measure on Tuesday mandating that cities and counties resell firearms turned in during gun buyback programs rather than melt them down.

The Republican-controlled Arizona state Senate voted 18-12 to no longer allowed firearms to be destroyed by local municipalities, saying it was a waste of taxpayer money. The state House approved the bill in March.

Well, they should be careful not to allow anything to sell at auction for less then the money paid out for a "buyback"

Turn in shitty HiPoint for a 300 dollars.
Repurchase at auction for 100 dollars.
Turn in again for 300 dollars.
