Who would want to buy a gun that was used for a mass shooting ? Is this law common ?
Since the shooter is dead, they could leave the case open and keep it in evidence.
Clarence is fine with that decision and has some ghoulish friends who keep ghoulish collections
what kind of twisted society allows this
No gun left behind
That is disgusting! It should be destroyed out of respect for the victims and their families.
Oh what do you know, another lib run city with tons of crime. Lol

KYGOP needs to fix this as well as your lackluster gun laws in the state. This SUCKS EndGunViolenceNow BanAssaultWeaponsAGAIN

Increíble ! Sociedad enferma 😔 y en estado grave!!
For those confused, back when cities were doing gun buy backs many states put laws on the books banning gun destruction and forced cities to auction off the guns. Because “what about the guns”. SMH.
You'd think the gun lobby would oppose this, I figured gun confiscation after murders was their version of planned obsolescence.
Start a GoFundMe to purchase it, donate the proceeds equally to the families, and then film it being destroyed in a compactor.
KY law requires it
Sounds like a new acquisition waiting for Harlan Crow.
That's absolutely disgusting That weapon should be destroyed They should all be destroyed
Why on Earth would a mass murder weapon be auctioned off to the public?
The South lovessssss their guns.
This feels like a dystopian law wtf
Auction? frigging bury it, burn it...
Who benefits from the earnings? And who would want to buy it? The system feeds the fetish.
Shooting weapon to be auctioned means to handover others to act same role? It is best way to implemention law and handover to government custody or to burn its. Recently report of WFF regarding GUN that 41٪ young have gun and last year 46k to loss his/her life,so protect nation.
Sh*thole country. Seriously.
what the actual fuck
I had zero knowledge this was a thing! I’m so glad he exposed this, absolutely unforgivable! How does that make any sense?
Give it to the ppl who actually think, 'gun control', will stop sick twisted ppl. Ppl who the Media, and it's constant attempts to put us against one another, help create.
When does bidding start
