Arizona cities and counties that hold community gun buyback events will have to sell the surrendered weapons instead of destroying them under a bill Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law Monday. The bill was championed by Republicans in the GOP-controlled Legislature who argued that municipalities were skirting a 2010 law that was tightened last year and requires police to sell seized weapons to federally licensed dealers. They argued that destroying property turned over to the government is a waste of taxpayer resources.

I'm hardly a NRA member, however, since buy-backs are universally considered ineffective by both gun control and gun rights groups, I'm happy to see this pass in Arizona.edit on 30-4-2013 by MrFantastic1 because: (no reason given)
