Re: Do any LE agencies sell/auction seized weapons?

My heart got broken back in the '60s when the laws changed in Tennessee. In Chattanooga, every gun, from every pawn shop, was seized by the police department. A judge appointed a citizens group to oversee that once they were seized, they stayed that way. No cherry picking by officers, officials.

In the dead of night, they were loaded onto a barge, unannounced, and were tossed overboard in a long stretch of deep water, the location not mentioned. I know a lot of guys were trolling with magnets, with little on no success.
