I concur with the latest iteration of the TN hippie contingent:

Making the sale of confiscated weapons mandatory seems like a serious overstep on the part of the state. Each county and municipality should have the authority to determine what is right for its community, rather than be dictated to by the state legislature on this issue.

Sure. Let the cities decide what they want to do. But, as is expected from the local hippie contingent, the truthiness is weak:

The revelation that two guns used in recent high profile shootings only makes that more clear, even though the sale of those weapons came years before the enactment of this law.

Except that whole part about that law not being in effect when those shooters obtained their guns. So, Memphis did decide to sell the guns prior to that law going into effect. But the progressive community tends to get facts about guns wrong, so that’s not surprising. They even parrot the year of the gun canard:

here’s to hoping that at some point these folks will stop focusing so much on firearms access, and spend a little more time on something that effects all of us, like say employment access.

Last year was called “year of the gun” because the legislature spent a whopping 1.8% of their time addressing gun bills that Jimmy Naifeh had spent years killing in committee.

Clenched fist salute to ACK.
